Check out the new features below:
Combined Railway Station!
- The building previously known as Elevator Station is now known as Rail Station.
- The building previously known as Railway Station has been yeeted. (But will continue to work in your old saves) (And may come back in some form.)
- It can connect both to horizontal and vertical railways.
- Some say it can even connect to Inclined Railways. Extremely obscure reference warning: Or dress up as a stationmaster.
Cart hauling!
- Carts will now pick up and deliver items just like the dwarves will.
- Don't worry, they will still transport dwarves!
- Platforms are now gone from the game. Use carts instead.
- Platforms are now gone from the game. That's right, the rail and elevator network is now one and the same!
Inclined Railway!
- Or is it just Incline Railway? Sloped Railway? The debate rages in the dev chat channels.
- This is for those of you who like to build your base diagonally!
Tool Automatic Upgrading!
- Dwarves will now automatically go to equip new items that are better than the ones they have in the toolbelt.
- This can be turned on and off. There's also an option to customize how you want it to work.
- By default, the autoupgrade logic will attempt to figure out ONE profession per tool that it thinks it should look for when upgrading.
- Unallowed professions are ignored, and Favorited professions are preferred.
- The logic refreshes when the player favorites or allows a profession, and when the dwarf gains a level.
Equip-from-dwarf!
- It is now possible to equip items directly from a dwarf's inventory.
Talents Automatic Acquire!
- It is now possible to set a dwarf to automatically acquire Talents when they level up.
- Double click on any Talent to set it, and all of its requirements, to be auto-acquired.
- Improved Talent tooltip.
Clean Inventory Action!
- Dwarves will go and drop off items they are carrying that aren't reserved for something else.
- This has a higher priority than general work.
Crafting Animations!
- Added new animations for Sewing and Writing.
- Different recipes will now use different animations.
Outliner Customization!
- Added a mission notification on location entries in the outliner.
- Change the height and/or width of the Outliner.
- Change the size for Alert and Dwarf entries.
- Different parts can be moved to the left and right side of the screen.
- Different settings for when you're viewing the Cave and the Overworld.
- List or icon variations for Alert entries.
- Lots of outliner tooltips.
- New icon variant for dwarf entries in outliner.
- Outliner scrollbars are now hidden if the list is too small.
- Rumor has it that parts can even be completely hidden!
Overworld Improvements!
- A Production Capacity modifier has been added, allowing for location production on the Overworld to differ based on various effects.
- It's now possible to affect Faction Influence on the Overworld by paying a location with Trade Lore.
- New Overworld Missions: Mote & Beam, Axes for the Mill, Dwarven Embassy, Water for the Thirsty.
- Overworld prices are now updated on relevant events.
- Prices on the Overworld are now affected by your standing with the location's faction.
- Various price tweaks.
Health & Desire Indicators!
- Added a notification when a dwarf becomes unconscious. This is also stored in the logbook.
- Added a tooltip on an unconscious dwarf if there are no healing items available for revival.
- Added new Alerts, warning when there are no Morale/Energy/Health items in the colony.
- Added notification for when a dwarf is attacked.
Vaults!
- With great automation comes great coin. Now you have somewhere to store it!
- The Small Vault has been added. It can store 10 gold.
- The Large Vault has been added. It can store 50000 gold. Yes, you read that right.
- Vaults are now the primary storage for your Mountainhoard.
- The Mountainhome can store a small amount as well.
- A Vaults Needed Alert is shown when your Mountainhoard is larger than how much can fit inside your vaults. Avoid this, or coin will be continuously wasted.
- Added an indicator by the Mountainhoard UI that's visible when you are over capacity.
- Dwarves will, for now, still go to the Mountainhome Chest to take gold, but it will be magically teleported from an existing vault.
- All coins are in fact magically teleported to and from vaults. In the far future, we may figure out how to make the dwarves carry gold to them.
- Vaults visually display roughly how full they are.
Win Condition: Righteous Affluence!
- A brand new Cave Mission has been added. Upon completing it, you trigger a Win Condition.
- To complete the mission, you need to construct a Large Vault, and then fill it to the brim!
- You can continue to play even after winning.
- If you manage to do this, let us know! It is not an easy task.
Plus various tweaks and bug fixes! (full list here)
