Greetings, medievalists!

The newest patch (0.27.18) is now live on all platforms on the main branch and experimental branch. Save your progress and restart your game client to update. You should be able to load normally and continue playing. If you have any problems, please let us know.

• Fixed several crash occurrences.

• Fixed the issue that caused Settlers to abort production randomly halfway through and go do something else.

• Fixed the issue that made fainted Settlers stand up (but still remain fainted as far as the game’s logic is concerned) if you drop their equipment.

• If your settlers are experiencing weird animations with some actions, be sure to turn off V-sync and cap the game's FPS in the game's options. Cap it to 60fps. If the issue persists, cap it at 30.

• Assigned Pets don't sleep with owners.

• Some text keys are still not translated.

• Player-triggered events don't have sound effects

• Settlers will not refuel torches if there is no floor/ground beneath them.

• Settlers will not choose the closest production building (if there are more of the same type), but the one that has a production set first in the global list of productions.

DISCLAIMER: The experimental and the main branch have the same version of the game. However, on the experimental branch, we decided to keep the Dev version of the game, and that means that a Dev log with red text will appear from time to time. This will help us get more info from your side when crashes and bug reports occur. If you are annoyed by this, please switch to the main branch to experience the game without the red text.

Greetings, medievalists!

No, this is not a sequel to that Jerry Seinfeld animated movie. We are continuing our Quality of Life improvements that we mentioned last week. First, let's talk about the bees.

Yes, we are aware of your skeps exploit. But also, we wanted to do this for a while now - skep efficiency in relation to flora.

The idea is to increase skep production speed based on plants surrounding it. Every plant will add a certain amount of % until it gets the maximum amount of 120%.

Keep in mind that some plants will not affect this (such as dead trees, grass and mushrooms), weather elements can slow it down and presence of another skep nearby will also be a deciding factor.

Honey itself will be turned into a secondary ingredient, meaning that you will be able to use it as a resource to create lavish meals. Lavish meals will not be a one thing, but a food type group. Combine honey with other things to get various delicious courses - mix honey and meat to get glazed meat, combining honey and barley will give you honey crisps and honey with vegetables will get you glazed vegetables. You get it. Also, nothing prevents your settlers from eating raw honey, tho.

We’ll talk about secondary ingredients in the official log when the time comes, but for now here is a list of simple and lavish meals that you will be able to create with this change.

All in all, this should be a more exciting (and somewhat realistic) way to play the game.

Another thing that annoys you are corpses. A raid appears, you defeat them and end up with a bunch of corpses and forbidden equipment and clothes on the map.

We'll streamline this, too. Once the enemy dies it will look like this:

Clothes, armors, shields and weapons will stay on the bodies!

Relocating these corpses will relocate their belongings, too. If you want to use a corpse for production (like butchering or pyre), they'll drop their things before being submitted to the production building.

So how do you take their stuff if you want to do so? By selecting them and choosing the Strip button. Then, settlers with the hauling job will approach the body and strip them.
One thing to note here is that with the upcoming update, clothes from the dead will have a tainted mark. Those types of clothes will not be as valuable and will provide a negative mood to most settlers. Worry not - you can choose via the manage tab/stockpile, wardrobe and armor rack for settlers to avoid these types of clothes.

We'll talk more in the official log about how this stuff affects other segments like caravan travel, using graves, etc. but for now this is enough.

How does it sound to you? Let us know in the comments and see ya in a week with a big MMT. Until then...

Stay medieval!
