The big patch notes Thread

[Deathwyrm]

Hello Dwarves, the new years is over and we are back to work (we also did some work between that Christmas and new years period). We are still hard at the forge, doing a lot of internal rework for GAS (for multiplayer and expansions to the food, drunk and combat systems), as well as a very technically difficulty rework of belts so you can have 10's of thousands of moving items without your CPU struggling.

But for now, we've taken note of various other things that do need fixing and we are putting out this hotfix. Available on TheNextUpdate branch.

0.0.0.56a

New features
Herbs have been added as a growable to farm plots
Herb seeds can be gotten with a random chance from herb bushes.
Key input rebinding has been changed to be less of a hassle. This was an issue for some. If a key is already bound, you'll be asked to confirm setting that key and it will remove the already bound key from its binding.
Added a progress bar in the Machine UI to display crafting progress

Changes
Due to new dwarves STILL struggling to find the relay in the citadel, it has been moved to be closer to your bedroom.
Improvements to AI inside of the tutorial map to stop them getting stuck on each other.
Boar spawning has been increased by 20%
Fixed snap points of new tiles on stone foundation and square stone pieces.
Changed crafting recipe for navigator from ruby ingots to ruby ore
The player now has a few cooked boar meat when they start
Different alcohols now give different inebrations.
Altered vsync checkbox size in settings.
Instructions in toolbar now update keybinds displayed
One of the tutorial quests no longer consumes an item on completion
Typo fix up on tool stations
Typo fix up on quests (English only)

Bug fixes
You should now not be able to complete a quest unless you have the necessary inventory space.
Blacksmith returns contents when destroyed.
Fixed a small bug that wasn't allowing items to be shift clicked into the Minecart Station
Fixed a bug where you could stack items of 1 stack max (Tools)
Fixed cost consumption and refund for long belts

Have fun digging!

As an after note. Please, if you've enjoyed the game, you're happy with our progress in providing updates and continuing production, please contribute a positive steam review.

The Next Update branch
Updates 63C – 63 H
New pieces
- Stone stair inner corner
- Stone stair outer corner

New features
- We've transferred over a lot of the machine animations from Unreal Engines Skeletons to using vertex shader animation, cutting out a massive amount of back end bone data and physics updating, which means better performance as your graphics cards start taking the load.
- Optimization of the backend processing of items, so your larger factories should feel better now.
- Pipe angles have been tweaked, then tweaked, and tweaked some more so they should be much better to work with while giving those lovely right angles.
- You can now press T when looking at certain buildings to just take their output.

New Snaps
- Two way splitter and merger now has snaps and bottom snaps
- Steam splitter and water splitter now have top and bottom snaps
- Ammo splitter now has bottom and top snaps.
- Square type pieces (small, medium, large) now have an up stair snap to place stairs on top without having to have something underneath.
- Elevator top and bottom snaps fixed.
- Many broken snaps are now fixed.

Changes
- AI in tunnels has been disabled, we found that these were what were spawning constantly in your base at game load and this system will be revisted to be much, much better in the future. You'll still find them in their camps.
- When building and in allow overlap mode, all snap points, even those that would be blocked, will now be valid and useable. Enjoy making the crazy dwarven fortress of your dreams!
- Minecarts are now a lot more optimized. During tests we had 100 running no issue so we're looking forwards to what you do with them

Bug fixes
- Rare issue with vertical lift rotation fixed.
- Cogs on vertical lift now turning
- Some jungle trees have had their collision radius increased and roots given collision to stop walking into them.
- AI now properly forget you on death instead of finding and charging at you on spawning.
- Fixed a major bug with ores spawning mid air. This doesn't apply to ores that you dug the dirt around while mining.
- Fixed a minor UI issue where the Maincart Station Tooltip for spawning carts wouldn't immediately update the inventory cost numbers.
- Fixes to ammo splitter inputs and output
- Fixed a memory leak with the new snap system
- Fixed gem infuser creating gems from no where

[Deathwyrm]

63L
- Fixed bug with inner stairs corners and outer stair corners not being unlocked

Fixes to buildings offsetting incorrectly when placing in free place mode
Fixed to spinning cog on top vertical belt not being correct
Fixes to pipes being placed in stands.
Fixes for sounds not attenuating properly with distance
Fixes for curved pipes blocking socket snap points they were not connected to
The snap size for the pipe sockets sides for other sockets has been reduced so snapping when placing next to sockets feels better.
An output arrow for pipes has been added which will appear properly for sockets to show which sockets a pipe can be taken from.

AN important note. We are aware ore veins are not spawning. We are looking into this.

Fixed tools not playing their animation properly when switching
Deposits should no longer spawn in camps in new games. In currently loaded games, deposits locations are fixed.
