⚠ Known issues

The changes made to River Kelpie may cause some minor issues in ongoing games where the Kelpie was present before the patch. The possible issues include:

• If your villagers were delivering goods to Kelpie, they might stop working. Exiting to the main menu and resuming the game resolves this issue.
  
• If your villagers were already working on the event, the event timer might stop progressing, as the new required goods are not delivered to the event. Canceling the event will resolve the issue, but you still need to deliver the new goods to complete the event.

(Steam only) For your convenience, we have also created a separate Steam branch with the previous version of the game (version 1.3.3). You can switch to that branch to avoid any potential issues with the Kelpie event.

To switch branches, right-click on Against the Storm in your Steam library, select Properties, go to the Betas tab, and choose “Against the Storm version 1.3.3” from the drop-down list:

Once you have finished your settlement on the Beta branch, select the “None” branch to return to the main branch.

If you did not have an active Kelpie event in your settlement, these issues will not affect you.
