Balance
  • ⚡ Increased the range of trade routes by 50%. Now you can trade with settlements as far as 15 tiles from your current location.
  • ⚡ Added Leather as a possible bonus resource from trees in the Sealed Forest.
  • ⚡ Increased the threshold at which the Resolve bonus triggers in the Guild’s Welfare effect (in the Guild House) from 60 to 75 Amber.
  • ⚡ Increased the number of spawned fertile soil tiles around haunted farm ruins (Haunted Small Farm and Haunted Herb Garden).
  • ⚡ Slightly increased the Obelisk’s spawn rate in small glades.
  • ⚡ Ore deposits can no longer spawn under resource nodes.
UX/UI improvements
  • ⚡ Added a global counter for population, available workers, and homeless villagers. It’s located above the species panels in the top left corner of the HUD.
  • ⚡ You can now attempt to reforge a Seal at any point during the Cycle, without needing to press the skip button on the calendar.
    • All other requirements are still binding – you need enough Seal Fragments, and the Seal needs to be within your Embarkation Range.
    • Starting a game in the Sealed Forest early will automatically skip the rest of the Cycle. After finishing the game (doesn’t; matter if it was won or lost), the Cycle will be over.
    • Due to this change, the tip displayed on the HUD about skipping the Cycle near the Seal has been removed.
    • Added a warning next to the Embark button when trying to play in the Sealed Forest before the Cycle’s end.
  • ⚡ World Event challenges (like winning a game with 150 Amber) are now displayed on the main HUD during gameplay (above Orders).
  • ⚡ Added generic tooltips to World Events when hovering over them in the World Map. These tooltips give only the name of the event, and some tips to make it clearer how events work (how to interact with them, and that they will disappear after the next game).
  • ⚡ Added World Event effect icons to the Embarkation Panel when starting a game from an event.
  • ⚡ Added the objective text for World Event challenges to the Embarkation Panel when starting a game from an event.
  • ⚡ Added a highlight to the Sealed Forest biome on the World Map to clearly show when it is in range and available (all the conditions are met).
  • ⚡ Added a tooltip to “?” markers on the World Map.
  • ⚡ Added custom flavor text to reward pop-ups for all existing World Events (these pop-ups appear after winning a challenge run offered by an event).
  • ⚡ Updated the “Logistics” entry in the in-game Encyclopedia.
  • ⚡ Added information about Seal Fragments and the Royal Resupply to World Map tooltips (when hovering over playable tiles on the map).
  • ⚡ Reworded the descriptions of multiple World Event rewards to clearly state that they are only given for the duration of the current Cycle.
  • ⚡ Changed the description of the Storm Ant Column challenge – it now states that all food is removed when starting a game, including Embarkation Bonuses.
  • ⚡ Changed the wording in the description of effects triggered by sacrificing goods (Desecrator, Sacrament of the Flame) to make it clearer that burning multiple resources at the same time progresses the perk’s counter quicker.
  • ⚡ Changed Cycle perk labels in the city builder layer to “Cycle Blessing” and “Cycle Curse” to make it clearer where they came from during gameplay (one-time world event effects are still labeled “World Event”).
  • ⚡ Changed the wording in the short objective version of the “use rainwater in engines” Order to make it clearer that it only counts using rainpunk engines (and not production).
  • Replaced 61 old icons with new custom assets.
    • Archaeologist’s Office upgrades
    • Firekeeper bonuses
    • Multiple meta rewards attached to Citadel Upgrades.
    • Service Building bonuses.
    • Over the last couple of months, you might have noticed that we’ve been slowly replacing a lot of the icons in the game, as this is the only place where we still use store-bought assets. Using asset packs is very helpful when trying to quickly iterate and balance the game (we have hundreds of perks, resources, upgrades that all need icons), but we want to gradually move to something more unique and tailor-made for us.
  • Renamed old Wealth Resolve effects that would sometimes appear in villager panels. They now have the same name and icon as their source perk (like Prosperous Settlement) to make it easier to understand where a bonus came from.
  • Changed the descriptions and names of Cycle effects with additional villagers (so that they are coherent).
