Thank you so much to everyone who has played the game! There's been a ton of useful feedback. I've been working on fixing some of the high-priority bugs that popped up; here's what has changed in the latest update:
Bugfixes:
- Fixed a crash on startup that was affecting laptops with integrated graphics cards.
- Added rolling autosaves and save naming option. This should hopefully make it easier to store incremental progress and avoid data loss.
Previously, all saves (including autosaves) would overwrite your colony save file, meaning there was no way to have multiple saves for the same colony. As a result, if something went wrong with this single file, there was no way to recover the colony.
Now, there are 3 rolling autosave slots. When a new day autosave happens, it should overwrite the oldest autosave slot. If your game crashes and reloading the latest autosave doesn't work, try the other autosaves.
In addition, it is now possible to name your saves whatever you want (when saving from the pause menu).
- Fixed an issue with faction relationships where dwarves would not react to hostile mobs like goblins/slimes. Soldiers should now attack hostile mobs when they're within a few tiles. Note: This issue should be fixed for new games, but existing saves might still have wonky faction data. Unfortunately, there was no straightforward way to patch this issue in existing save games. Therefore, it is recommended that you start a new game if the issue is still occurring in your old saves. Sorry for the inconvenience!
- Added "close panel" button to the Milestones panel.
Improvements:
- Tweaked UI layout to work slightly better in 1280x720 resolution. There's still work to be done here; I'll continue tinkering with UI options for different resolutions.
- Added stockpile construction sprite so that there's a visual difference between a built vs an under-construction stockpile.
- Fossilized wood should now drop logs when mined.
I'll continue hunting down bugs and will keep you posted. Hoping to have another patch in about a week or so. Thanks again for playing, you rock!
