Changelog
Added the Warriors and Mages Guilds to Cities! Also a completely legal Orphanage to house those shunned by society!
New House type: Headquarters! A massive, 3-floor, 12x12x12m mansion, coming in three flavors: Stone, Wood and Painted, to house the new...
New Decoration: The Long Table! Perfect for your guild's hall!
The Adventurer's Guild has been kicked out of Cities for allowing any vagrant in (and also not paying taxes)
Updated the game's Launch Options on Steam, so Direct3D 12 is the new default Graphics Driver for Windows, as it has overtaken Vulkan overall. You can still play on Vulkan as you could with Direct3D 12 on Linux, you just have to select the right Launch Option at the start, as they all also got updated with better descriptions
Better message for when you're trying to pickpocket an NPC as an Animal or Monster, which you can't
Head Equipment on Animals and Monsters is now properly made invisible in first person
Monsters and Animals, as in the player Transformed into them, can no longer bypass locked doors to interiors
Night Vision from races, transformations and skills is now cumulative instead of substitutive
NPCs now crouch when fighting Slimes or Wolves, as they're too short to hit with some weapons
NPCs now won't talk to you when they're under Mind Ailments, like Mute, and excluding Charm. They'll explain the situation to you
Panicked or Blinded characters no longer randomly jump, crouch or sheathe weapons, to avoid spamming sounds and also being mostly useless
Peasantry Perks that doubled resource gathering now only increase it by 50% overall
Reduced the default amount of chunks loaded at a time, the draw distance, from 10 to 8
Reduced the delay between an NPC spawning and being able to see you from 4 to 2 seconds, to avoid weirdness and exploits
Skeletons can now wear clothes much better, instead of cling-wrapping them to their bones
Slimes are now counted as Small mounts, like Wolves
The Time Pass Effect, like with Spells, now works when they hit Gather Spots, like Trees, making them grow
The Undead can now shout phrases, like Spell names, if they're under the Speak to Dead Effect
Thieves no longer steal from those of the same social class or of the same "job" Faction
Updated the How To Train section of the Alchemy Skill, to include the part where you can do it by combining Alchemic Items to increase their power
You can no longer Wait to bypass sun/water damage or poison/mute, etc. As the full effects of Ailments now proc for their duration during the Time Pass
Fixed another instance of Blinded Animals and Monsters spamming sounds
Fixed bug with Skinwalkers becoming Animals or Monsters while they were already skinwalking a humanoid causing issues
Fixed GatherSpots near special biomes being able to spawn underwater
Fixed incorrect colors and materials for Spells of Inflict Burn/Freeze/Shock (not to be confused with Fire/Ice/Electric Damage)
Fixed incorrect player head visibility toggling after the Ending
Fixed incorrect values for the transparency of player arms during attacks in first person
Fixed Raise Dead not being counted as a Transform Effect, and th8us having some bugs that were already fixed for the others
Fixed the Burning/Frozen/Shocked visuals effects not working correctly on some buildings
Fixed the player Undead race's bad transparency of the arms during attacks in first person, using an alpha hash instead due to the other characteristics of their unique material
Fixed Wine making not working properly on the Combine window of the Inventory Menu
Other misc fixes and adjustments
