[h3]General Notes[/h3]
We've just pushed a patch live this weekend that's mostly focused on hotfixing new bugs (mostly animations) and verifying that the new AI has fixed some older bugs. Thank you to those who've playtested and mentioned some of these new bugs (and older ones that've stuck around).
For example your first Colonist (default Scipio at moment) can once again collect resources however the collection animation is missing. We will have this fixed asap. Sequenced waypoints are also broken, we'll have this fixed quickly.
The New AI Pathfinding/Behaviors are a definite improvement. The other big half of our "structural" pipeline is our map system change (to address elevation/building/fog of war issues). This will be much quicker then the AI Changes, but I don't have an exact timeline on when we will merge to our playtesting build.
We will be working to have our most stable and playable build to date by 11/29 for our Playtesting Event!
