Howdy Miners!

New version is here to make the West slightly less chaotic…

QoL

  • Added an alert sound for wild animals, because surprise wildlife encounters were getting a bit too exciting.
  • Full barrel sound added, barrels now make an entrance like they’re auditioning for a theater play.
  • Governor now grumbles while walking, he already complained nonstop, so we just gave him a microphone.

Bug Fixes

  • Numerous fixes to the barrel systems, barrels have agreed to behave.
  • Fixed placing objects into wagons, wagons are no longer eating leaved goods
  • Removed a softlock caused by upgrading the backpack too early, ambition is now officially supported.
  • Updated weapon prices after prestige increases, fame changes everything, including price tags.
  • Blocked starting minigames from horseback or while holding an object, multitasking has limits, even here.
  • Moved minigame music to the Music channel, your ears will notice the difference.
  • Fully loaded oil barrels now correctly contain oil after loading, shocking, we know.
  • The ghost oil machine no longer complains about missing workers, ghosts operate independently.
  • Minor issue with UI

Fixed Steam Achievements:

  • Too Small for the Both of Us
  • Freight Brickmaster
  • Prospector’s Pride
  • Frontier Craftsman

Thanks for all your reports. You’re the reason this dusty town keeps improving. See you in the mines, partner!
