New Version 18.04.28
Hello, we’ve just posted a new version to Steam and itch.io. This version again focuses on bugs and performance improvements. Saves with this version are compatible with saves from the previous version.
Changes:
- Fix bug that prevented dwarves from gathering corpses before graveyard was built.
- Better balance for dwarf death (a friend dying now only produces 25 points of unhappiness instead of 50. Burying the friend increases happiness by 10.)
- Performance: much faster drawing of mining/farming/guarding designation markers. Now only the top faces are drawn as well.
- Art: new icon for “wrangle”. “Wrangle” renamed to “Catch”.
- Art: new texture for ice.
- Fix bug that prevented placing bookshelves and beds under some scenarios.
- Fix bug that was allowing mining large underground blocks without pressing ALT. Now the default behavior is what it used to be: only selecting the surface blocks.
- Fix move tool use on stoves causing them to get stuck underground.
- Fix bug that caused parts of stockpile/balloon port etc. to disappear when built next to a zone of a different type.
- Fix dwarves sometimes floating into the air when asleep.
- Performance: optimize octree usage for entities that move slowly.
- Performance: optimize resource bobbing so that it doesn’t trigger octree re-writes.
- Art: chickens and necrosnakes now have attack animations.
- Art: certain birds now emit feather particles when hurt.
- Fix turret pointing in wrong direction while targeting enemies and limit the speed of the turret’s turning.
- Fix bug that was preventing the game from shutting down when the window was closed.
- Fix bug that caused dwarves to disappear after the game was minimized or the resolution changed.
- Show mana bar in UI when casting spells.
- Allow dwarves to share research on spells.
- Fix UI display of how much % of a spell was researched.
- Fix rare crash in asset manager when loading null texture.
- Prevent dwarves from sleeping underwater and make them prefer to sleep in rooms if no beds are available.
- Balance: reduce mana recharge rate by 10x
- Fix common crash on linux caused by incorrect thread synchronization in planner.
- Enable automatic crash reporting on Linux + Mac
