    Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! It's true! Revision 41D has now hit the experimental build, with a variety of exciting bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements (including a few fairly major bugs that we want to make sure get fixed, so let us know if you see them even after this):

    CHANGELOG:

    - improved tooltips for workshops
    - balance: Naturalist's office no longer requires iron plates, Laboratory uses copper plates instead of iron
    - balance: overseer acquisition rate has been rebalanced based on player data
    - FIXED: people getting stuck returning to civilization
    - FIXED: kitchen gets stuck on an assignment
    - FIXED: very small, fairly unlikely crash building buildings and then loading them afterwards
    - FIXED: scripterror caused by vermin
    - FIXED: dormant obeliskian hostility toggling
    - FIXED: dead things very specifically can't become hostile now even if they try
    - FIXED: favour redcoats won't be demoted to militia anymore
    - FIXED: gabion deconstruction (and gabion deconstruction progress bar)
    - FIXED: logs/bricks recovered from airshipmast & gabions now properly set to owned by player
    - FIXED: planks were being calculated at 1/4 their intended economy value, slowing overseer acquisition

  3. Good stuff. If you keep the updating at this rate this month you're going to run out of letters!

    That's why I love this dev team! :D
     
  5. Ah, when they run out of letters - they make good use of the numbers. They are quite good with numbers.

    • Bandits can shoot and use bayonets in melee while carrying stolen items.
    • [Suggestion] Colonists elevated to upper class: give them a chance of gaining the "Common Mingler" trait (or some other class-related trait). Also, mention the promotion in their bio flavour text.

    got so far in to this game and then it crashed when I accidentally clicked delete stockpile twice for the same stockpile.
    Really liking the new Barracks system now that I can assign my military squad to it.

    After my first bandit arriving message - got a script error.
    • Naturalists now digging fine but wander around of their own accord and don't honour requests to investigate specific nodes
    • New NCO militias still can't be assigned a rally point
    • Repairs : not sure how these occur but had 2 broken ovens for 2 days, never fixed.

    Drumhead: did you get a crash dump?

    This is the save, console, and replay from my r41d. Session lasted about an hour (9 game days). I experienced no problems, and several long-standing bugs were fixed. Some random observations:

    • started with Metalworker's Trove, in the Temperate Biome
    • in the Work Crew interface, it's nice that assigned crews are a different colour than unassigned
    • I noticed the Overseer I assigned to the Metalworks had an 'Industrial Artisan' title, where each of my other Overseers were only 'Artisan', is that significant?
    • assigning a colonist as a Militia member, under an NCO, did not anger them as it usually would
    • burials seem to be working as intended, finally (and I noticed the names of the deceased when zooming in)
    • the barracks is pretty neat - after filthly foreigners wiped out my military, I built the barracks and turned a regular work crew into a militia, who then trained up into redcoats
    • the Overseer of that crew did not get a white name like other NCO's however, and it's unclear if she is actually an NCO, as her title remains 'footsoldier'
    • as far as I was able to tell, their active job remained 'get swole' long after they'd become soldiers
    • also, 'get swole' is temporary placeholder text, right? Although funny, it's pretty anachronistic

    Recruited military to fight some bandits - each time, the NCO runs away with "Hunt (order)" as current task leaving the regular troops to fight. Happened 3 times now.

    While foraging bandit camp, following script error :

    I've noticed an issue with the fancy new Work Crew UI (which is otherwise nice-looking and doesn't seem to cause the game to lag):
    • the entry for Work Crews assigned to a workshop are shaded slightly darker, good
    • Work Crews so assigned have a 'zoom to workshop button', good
    • this is not preserved when loading a save - they remain assigned, but are no longer shaded, and the zoom button disappears, bad
    • *edit* one more thing, Work Crew job filter settings are also not preserved when loading a saved game, bad
    I've attached another hour of play plus console and replay files (it immediately follows the previous uploaded save).

    • Night time fighting also seems to be absent for animals / beetles etc. As soon as daylight hits, appears to work. Did get one colonist use a knife on a foe but no shooting from local soldiers
    • Another script error, nothing instigated by me plus a save with loadout missing appearing fairly regularly
    • Lingonberry bushes do not seem to be regrowing
    • Farming : had about 8 workers on 2 fields while 3 other fields gradually decayed

    Doesn't cause lag? You must be kidding. Day 16, 38 colonists. When I leave the work crew menu open, people start teleporting around the map at times, and I am experiencing severe slowdown at times as well.

    There is still something going on with the work crew menu, but so far I can't reproduce it and I've only had reports of it happening for *some* people. Can you throw me a save game that exhibits severe slowdown? Also, what's your computer again?

    Brutal slowdown with work crew menu. Particularly when changing a workshop/office assignment.
