Fellow Hogardians! Although we support Iris and The Order, we have a treat -no tricks- for horror fans: [b]a new update![/b] Before we hand out some candy-ish features, we’re also celebrating [url=https://discord.com/invite/BFWrAfxd2H]a Halloween-themed building contest on Discord[/url]. Almost anything goes, whether it’s your take on Dracula’s castle, stone-made jack-o'-lanterns, or even wooden monsters. That said, here’s what [b]version 0.21[/b] includes: [h2]Resource gathering system rework[/h2] [list] [*] Workers can now be increased or decreased for each resource-gathering building. [*] Warehouses now only increase resource storage and no longer serve as a destination for pawns. [*] Added a new piece to optimize resource-gathering. [*] Highlighting pawns shows carried resources and highlights the building of origin. [*] A button was added to instantly recalculate the path from the gathering building to the core. [*] Resource-gathering values have been rebalanced. [*] Removed resource-gathering improvements from Sandbox Mode. Now, resource-gathering will correspond to a normal vanilla level.
