Hey everyone! The next much awaited patch is here! After feedback from the community we have implemented a new mechanic to automatically water your plants, so you don't have to work up a sweat when a heatwave hits your island! Also enjoy the quality-of-life improvements such as easily copy-pasting stockpile settings, and did I already mention... new achievements? Make sure to join the conversation on our [url=https://discord.gg/dxtX8m7jgz]Discord[/url] server if you haven't joined yet, your feedback and screenshots are much appreciated! Thank you all for playing, and enjoy the new patch! - Tom [h3]Gameplay changes:[/h3] [list] [*] To prevent your crops from withering we have introduced the ‘Irrigation zone’, that allows you to pump water through pipes and sprinklers to automatically water your crops. Unlocking this requires a Tier III research. [*] Governors no longer have a negative effect, only the positive effect remains. Note: not all translations have been updated yet to reflect this change. [*] The “Minor Sawmill” zone has been added as a Tier I zone. It’s an alternative to the regular sawmill that can be built without spending any building materials. This allows players that have spent all their wood to always produce new wood. The new zone is very inefficient in processing logs so it’s not an attractive alternative to the regular sawmill. [*] Added Deep Mining 1 and 2 research that boost the output of Large mines. [/list] [h3]Quality of life:[/h3] [list] [*] Stockpile settings (allowed inventory type, plus the detailed checkboxes) can now be copy-pasted onto other stockpiles. Use CTRL+Right click to copy and CTRL+Left click to paste. [*] Clearing the type for a stockpile can now be done by right clicking the inventory slot. [*] When hovering goods on the floor reservations are shown right away. [*] Manually transferring goods from a harbor onto a ship now trumps any reservations on those goods, allowing the player to always complete the manual transfer. [*] Clarified message when loading trade route goods into a certain slot, but unloading them from another slot, which doesn’t do anything. [*] Hovering an animal now directly shows how many days are remaining before the animal can be sheared or slaughtered. [/list] [h3]Bug fixes:[/h3] [list] [*] Workers will now also try to extinguish fires started by the Queen (when failing to pay your taxes) if you're playing on a difficulty with disasters disabled." [*] Solved a rare issue causing the game to crash. Inventory reservations that were being lifted could result in an infinite loop, due to an imprecise floating number comparison. [/list] [h3]Look & feel:[/h3] [list] [*] The currently selected game speed now has slightly more emphasis, making it easier to spot the current game speed. [*] Screenshot mode can now be enabled from the main menu and hides the entire user interface. By pressing Escape the menu will appear again. [*] Achievements: [list] [*] Achievements added per governor for starting a game. [*] Achievement added for completing the new Deep Mining 2 research. [*] Achievement added for completing the new Irrigation research. [/list] [/list]
