Update - Bug fixes and improvements (version 14888) + Hotfix 14937

Hey Shopkeepers!

While we've been hotfixing critical issues whenever they've come up during the weekend, we've also been working on other reported issues & improvements. Here are the patch notes for version 14850 that should be out now (you may have to reboot steam if it doesn't update).

Patch 14850

TECH

• Fixed an issue where entrances that were already placed in the home/farm would break the game

• Added double sided signs to make it easier to read from both sides

• Fixed the camera orbit when traveling between domains.

• Improved Level Up Skills objective by also checking the values when loading the objective

• Fixed an issue where the max level of a skill wasn't checking against the right variable, resulting in the objective not being updated correctly.

• Armor & Weapon displays would also scale products down to 0.8, these are now scaled to 1 instead

• Tweaked the height at which the navmesh is carved, this should give you some more freedom when placing wall furniture high up on the wall.

• Cycladen 1 and Kungen 1 had incorrectly set colliders.

• Kilo 1 had the wrong tag assigned to its colliders, which blocked then blocked pathfinding

• Events should now not be able to spawn twice at the same time

• Skills will now go through the previous levels to unlock anything that was changed in the data after the file was saved.

• Loading in a creative save file now correctly sets the purchase price of furniture to 0

• Fixed an issue where one-off events were also being triggered in year 2

• Fixed the filtering on trader menus breaking when similar IDs with different qualities were present

• Reverted to a previous version of the KingsDay code, where products were always unique per trader. Added a fallback in case not enough products are unlocked.

• Clicking New Game/Load Game/Continue multiple times would try to load the game twice, resulting in a crash.

UI

• Crafting menu skill panels used an initially wrong vertical position.

• When a skill is maxed out, the menu now says so rather than showing infinite progress.

• Fixed Unlock button not disappearing when switching tabs in any of the unlock menus

• Added a confirmation prompt when clearing a planter or smelter slot.

• Fixed sorting by buy price for traders

• Greenhouse planter tooltips were not functioning properly

• Increased width of the money counter in the HUD

• Greenhouse planters should now allow seasonal crops to be planted.

• The end of day graph will now angle the day counter if this exceeds 100 to allow the numbers to be easier to read.

• You can no longer place an entrance in the farm & home domains

• Crafting stations with multiple skills did not have a line break to separate the skills.

• Exceeding maximum crafting skill would not cap at 100% in the crafting menu.

BALANCE

• Added Favor as a reward for most objectives

• Lowered the exp requirements for leveling up products by roughly 40%

• Tweaked the minor Beetles events to have slightly less impact, and the global one to have the same impact as the previous minor events.

OTHER

• Fixed Drought & Winter events not blocking similar versions, which could result in them happening at the same time.

• Added some missing event data

• Sand is now unlocked at Swindle level 8, together with the smelter.

• Fruit Bonanza was using the wrong event data.

• Chainmail Gauntlets (Iron) were not being unlocked when they should.

ART

• Employee hair colors were not using natural hair colors

• Fixed 4 displays and 19 decoration assets becoming invisible when the hide walls feature is active.

Hotfix 14900

This morning we were notified of an issue with a save file that had a broken farm. We've been investigating this all day and have not been able to get a reproduction of it on our side, So while we continue to investigate the root cause we decided to add a fallback for save files when this is detected.

TECH

• If for some reason the domain nodes in a save file got corrupted, it will now load in the starter layout to at least not break the entire save file.

• Max skill achievement wasn't triggering as intended, these should now be granted when loading in a save file as well.

BALANCE

• Removed the Smithing tag from Brass, and added Music to be in line with Pyrite.

OTHER

• Pyrite Ore & Ingot were missing the CraftingResource tag

• Pyrite Ingot recipes had a duplicate ID assigned which resulted in some weird values when trying to smelt Pyrite

• Added the missing Painting tag to the smaller painting variants

UI

• Added a notification at the start of the day when an event starts

Hotfix 14934

Over the weekend we were notified that farming could crash the game. This took a bit of investigating but it seems that we now have a fix for that issue. This fix comes in addition to a number of other fixes and improvements that were submitted to the project in the meantime.

ART

• Updated several light emitting decorations. Most notably the square and round fire pits.

• Fixed Koning wall set sticking through paintings and posters.

• Fixed Kotten wall material appearing bright while the set material was supposed to be dark. Also fixed the siblings materials in that set.

• Fors entrance should now also have its thickness adjusted.

• Fixed door shadows on Fiona.

• Fixed visual issue with the Kroma wall set where paintings or posters would clip through the wall.

TECH

• An issue would occur when stopping the game while a UI fade was happening.

• Fix for Ersthof being initially invalid when placed.

• IsPointInDomain didn't correctly check when something was at the exact boundary, causing the red highlighting to not work when trying to remove a wall using Remove Mode.

• Cursor raycast now also checks for door colliders and treat it as if it is a wall. This should make it easier to remove walls with doors.

• Updated colliders on Koudekerk.

• Updated surface colliders of the Kaag wall set.

• Fixed a bug where unlocking a 4 slot planter first could cause a critical error.

BALANCE

• Moved the Jar to level 2 Pottery, and moved everything after that down by 1 level.

• Slightly shrunk the interactable zone for all counters & Trader Post 1.

UI

• Detail panel in the load save menu is now also wiped when deleting the save file.

• Greenhouse label would not be removed when moving a planter out of the greenhouse room.

• Crafting menu product fountain effect would briefly show quality result on the side of the screen.

• Crafting menu recipe grid should now adjust its height up to a maximum of 4 rows of recipes.

• Added employee expense to end of day screen.

• The crafting menu recipe grid panel height was not updating correctly for farming.

• Fixed an issue with the planting menu where the main window content would not show up after switching planter slots.
