Update 0.4.4: New Features & Fixes
On Steam
New
Send convoys home:
The settlement window now has a "Head home" button that sends a convoy in that settlement straight back to your home settlement.
Faster unloading:
If all of a convoy's cargo fits into your storage, it is unloaded in one go without a confirmation dialog.
Rest warning:
The range indicator glows red when a convoy will soon need to rest.
Balancing
Gentler start:
The roads are a little safer early in your merchant career. The danger from bandits grows over time.
Bandit camps after attacks:
Even when you fend off an attack, bandits who escape may set up a new camp nearby.
In the demo, bandit camps stay at level 1.
Fixes
Fixed a bandit camp that could disappear too early and block the tutorial.
Fixed building placement ignoring clicks after you left a settlement while a construction animation was still playing.
Controller / Steam Deck:
The input for restarting your savegame can now be reached with a controller.
Text inputs release focus as soon as you navigate on with the controller.
Disabled buttons are now handled correctly with controller input in many menus.
Technical
Convoys load faster on the map.
Improved server stability and scaling when many players are online at the same time.
