===== Early Access version: 0.53.2 - Cycles Reforged =====

Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by the community.

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Added a new system to the World Map - Ancient Seals.
** Ancient Seals can be found on the World Map. These intricate structures were built by a long-forgotten civilization, and it is believed that they hold a primeval, malevolent force at bay - the so-called Sealed Ones. Unfortunately, the power of the Seals has gradually waned over the millennia, causing the Sealed Ones to slowly regain their hold on this world. Your goal as the Queen’s Viceroy isn’t just to establish settlements and collect resources, but also to reforge these Ancient Seals and help the Crown protect the kingdom.
** To reforge a Seal, you will have to journey towards it with your caravan, collect enough Seal Fragments on the way there (a new Cycle-specific meta resource gained by winning games and completing modifiers), and successfully settle right next to it at the very end of the Cycle. If you make it there much sooner, you can wait until the end of the Cycle by pressing the button in the lower right corner of the screen.
** There are 8 types of Seals with distinct names and symbols. Each one requires more Seal Fragments and is located further away from the Smoldering City. At any given time, you can only see a maximum of four Seals on the World Map (two of the same type as the recently completed one, and two new ones). Successfully reforging a Seal will grant you additional Citadel Resources at the end of the Cycle and prolong the time between future Blightstorms by a few years.
** At the end of a Cycle leftover Seal Fragments must be returned to the Crown (for an additional reward).
** To attempt reforging a Seal, you have to:
*** Have enough Seal Fragments.
*** Be in range of the Seal.
*** Be at the end of the Cycle (you can skip to it now by pressing the button on the calendar).
*** Play at the minimum required difficulty level of the Seal (or higher).
** Around the Seal, there is a special new biome - the Sealed Forest. It has unique effects and special resource distribution. This is meant as a “final battle” in a given Cycle.
*** For now, this biome has placeholder visuals and effects. It looks like the Cursed Royal Woodlands and has penalties to trade routes, farming, and fewer charges in nodes. All this will change in the coming weeks, with a dedicated Sealed Forest Update.
** After winning a game in the Sealed Forest near a named Seal for the first time, the World Map will progress, spawning a new type of Seal (in addition to the previous one), and extending the Cycle duration by several years. Older Seals (below the tier of the two most recent ones) will not be spawned anymore.
** If you are an experienced player who has already reached Prestige difficulties, you will get a dialogue box when launching the game for the first time after this update. There, you will be able to decide whether you want to start your Cycle progression from the beginning or skip to a Seal that matches your skills.
* Added a new system to the World Map - the Viceroy’s Caravan.
** From now on, your caravan has a physical representation on the World Map (shown by a marker) and you can only venture from your last successful town.
** As you move through the map, you will be able to collect new resources, villagers, and effects for your caravan by completing negative Modifiers and World Events.
** The minimum difficulty of a settlement is now tied to the distance from the Smoldering City on the World Map. This means that after reaching a certain point, you will no longer be able to play Settler runs, as only Pioneer and higher will be allowed. But don’t worry - the difficulty ranges are pretty big, so if you prefer to stay on Settler, you will have plenty of space to explore and modifiers and events to see.
** There is also a new type of Embarkation Point - Reserve Embarkation Points. These can be used across multiple games in a Cycle (instead of being specific to one game like normal Embarkation Points). You can earn Reserve Embarkation Points through Negative Modifiers and World Events. The normal Embarkation Points are now called Base Embarkation Points.
** Base Embarkation Points are no longer influenced by difficulty (previously, the pool would shrink the higher the chosen difficulty). From now on, they are affected only by the distance from the Smoldering City.
* Added a new system to the World Map - World Events.
** World Events are random encounters that can be found on the World Map.
** All World Events offer some kind of decision or challenge. These can range from giving up a portion of the resources in your starting caravan in exchange for additional villagers, paying Seal Fragments for a temporary bonus, or winning a game by completing a special task for additional Embarkation Points.
** Successfully completing a World Event will reward players with additional caravan goods, cycle-long effects, or shorter (one or two games) blessings.
** World Events can also have negative consequences based on the player’s decision - lost caravan goods, cycle-long debuffs, or shorter (one or two games) curses.
** With this update, we bring you 10 types of World Events (with more to come in the future). We won’t spoil them all in this changelog, but some notable encounters are: a Stormbird Egg, the Obsidian Loremaster, a Cloaked Wanderer, or a Hanged Viceroy.
** In this update, World Events will have some repeated art assets attached to them. Our goal is to create unique illustrations for every scenario, but due to time constraints and possible changes/improvements to the system, custom encounter art for every event will arrive in the coming weeks.
* Added a new type of Citadel Upgrade to the Smoldering City - Faction Trade Routes.
** With the introduction of the new Seal system, factions were removed from the World Map and from the upgrade tree in the Smoldering City.
** As a replacement, and as a way to help trading in the early stages of a Cycle, we added Faction Trade Routes to the game.
** Factions will now act as independent settlements you can trade with, always located in the Smoldering City. Think of them as a district belonging to a faction.
** This means that after buying all 3 faction upgrades, you will have 4 towns to trade with at the start of each Cycle.
** Every faction has a unique variation of desired goods. These are mostly based on what a given faction would have a hard time producing (for example, the Brass Order are great metalworkers, but terrible farmers).
** There are 3 faction upgrades in the Smoldering City now. They were mostly shuffled into the existing nodes of the upgrade tree (there was room due to the removal of the previous faction upgrade and one Town Vision upgrade). There is only one completely new upgrade level for the Monastery of the Vigilant Flame (on level 17), increasing the total number of upgrades in the game to 80.
** The exact list of upgrade changes can be found in the balance section of this changelog.

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Changed the way Modifiers are spawned on the World Map.
** Positive Modifiers will now have a higher chance of appearing near the Smoldering City, and a lower chance of spawning far away.
** Negative Modifiers have a higher chance of spawning further away from the Citadel, and a lower chance of appearing close to it.
** This new system is not completely rigid, however. It only affects the spawn rates, but doesn’t prevent any Modifier from spawning at any distance (for example, negative Modifiers can still appear right next to the Citadel, the chances are just lower).
** The main goal with this change is to further boost the clear difficulty progression of the World Map by making the first games in a Cycle a bit easier and faster, and the later ones a tad harder.
* Adjusted starting caravans to make them more balanced and in line with the new system changes.
** Changed the numerical spread of villagers in starting caravans. Now, the base number of villagers ranges from 6 to 8.
** Changed the Embarkation Point price range for Planks - it’s now from 2 to 3 instead of a static 2.
* Reshuffled the rewards in multiple Citadel Upgrades.
** Obsidian Archive Level 7 - removed the faction unlock, added the Citadel Resource bonus.
** Obsidian Archive Level 11 - removed the Citadel Resource bonus, added the Field Kitchen essential blueprint.
** Dim Square Level 7 - removed the Field Kitchen essential blueprint, added the Amber Embarkation Bonus.
** Brass Forge Level 6 - removed the Parts Embarkation Bonus, added the Brass Order faction unlock.
** Brass Forge Level 8 - removed the Global Carrying Capacity bonus, added the Parts Embarkation Bonus.
** Brass Forge Level 9 - removed the Amber Embarkation Bonus, added the Global Carrying Capacity bonus.
** Pioneers’ Gate Level 3 - removed the Embarkation Range bonus, added the bonus to starting caravan goods.
** Monastery of the Vigilant Flame Level 11 - new upgrade level, with the following rewards: Scrolls and Incense Embarkation Bonuses.
** First Dawn Headquarters Level 4 - removed the Herbalists’ Camp Embarkation Bonus, added the First Dawn faction unlock.
** First Dawn Headquarters Level 5 - removed the bonus to starting caravan goods, added the Herbalists’ Camp Embarkation Bonus.
** Vanguard Spire Level 9 - removed the Scrolls and Incense Embarkation Bonuses, added the Vanguard of the Stolen Keys faction unlock.
* Games won, lost, or abandoned before year 3 now always progress the Cycle by 3 years (to make it harder to avoid negative cycle effects by winning quick Settler games or abandoning settlements).
** Erratum: During the livestream, we mentioned that winning the game in 1-2 years will only progress the Cycle by the said number of years, but that was a mistake. Every game will progress the Cycle at least 3 years forward. This was implemented to prevent cheesing and playing below your skill level to venture farther on the World Map.

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ Cleaned up the perk HUD and implemented a new sorting method. Overall, the perk HUD should now be much easier to read at a glance.
** The perk HUD will now sort effects and perks based on if they’re positive or negative first. Then, effects will be ordered by rarity (from Legendary to Common).
** This change also brings with it a lot of tweaks to incorrectly labeled effects all over the game (working effects, perks, Cornerstones, Forest Mysteries, Consequences, etc.).
* Changed the wording in the Shelter description in Polish to make it easier to understand.
* ⚡ Slightly nerfed the Stormforged version of the Hidden Reward Cornerstone. It now gives one Ancient Tablet instead of two.
* Changed the World Map tutorial slightly to mention Ancient Seals. There are also contextual messages displayed when reaching the Seal for the first time to help players better understand the new system.
* Added a new Encyclopedia entry about Ancient Seals. It will now also appear in the “read more” panel after the World Map tutorial.
* Updated the Encyclopedia entry about Modifiers to now also include World Events.

'''Bug fixes'''
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with Fertile Soil being spawned on top of ore nodes.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Black Treasure Stag giving the player the Woodcutter’s Prayer Cornerstone as a reward.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the game taking away all Experience Points from completed Deeds then the level cap is increased on a profile already at max. Level.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with some converted decorations (from glade events) not having removal confirmation popups when trying to destroy them.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with the Hearth overlay flashing on and off when pressing a building shortcut for a house multiple times.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug that caused the logistic lines in production buildings to still be visible after closing the building panel using ESC.
* ⚡ Fixed a missing translation for decoration tags in Polish.
* ⚡ Fixed a typo in the Japanese description of the Rainpunk Engines upgrade in the Smoldering City.
* ⚡ Fixed a few typos and inconsistencies in French (tooltip for declining Cornerstones, trader dialogue).
* Fixed a stuttering animation in the Stamping Mill.
* Fixed an issue with some Orders not taking rebuilt Haunted Ruins into account (for “own building” and “produce goods” objectives).
* Fixed some incorrectly placed UI elements above decoration construction sites.

'''Other'''
* ⚡ The World Map grid now covers the entire World Map (including the clouds).
* Daily Expeditions and Training Expeditions no longer progress the Cycle.

===== Early Access version: 0.52.2 - Shortcuts, Tooltips =====

'''Changelog:'''
* Fixed a bug with building shortcuts not being remembered between sessions.
* Fixed an issue with building shortcuts not being possible to set to "none".
* Fixed a bug that caused some resource tooltips to be incorrectly formatted.
* Fixed a bug with some building shortcuts playing a placeholder sound when used.
* Fixed a bug with the Stormforged version of the Secure Trail Cornerstone being named incorrectly.
* Fixed an issue with guaranteed Embarkation Goods not being applied to a game in some cases right after purchasing the corresponding Upgrade.
* Fixed an issue with trees having incorrect tooltip descriptions in multiple biomes.
* Fixed a bug with plus signs being rotated incorrectly in the worker overlay.

===== Early Access version: 0.51.2 - Black Treasure Stag, Worker Overlay =====

'''Changelog'''
* Increased the burning duration of Wood from 10 seconds to 12.
* Increased the burning duration of Oil from 20 seconds to 25.
* Fixed a bug with the Worker Overlay (ALT) showing up above incorrect buildings and events.
* Fixed a bug with the "catch" option of the Black Treasure Stag sometimes not removing Cornerstones.
* Fixed an issue with the game unpausing by itself after quitting the Trading Post and selecting buildings.
* Fixed a bug with fertile soil still being spawned under trees in some cases (except when spawned together with ruined farms - we will fix that later, as this requires a change to the ruin spawn system).
* Fixed an incorrect text in the Traditional Chinese description of the Airbender effect.
* Fixed a bug that caused Hostility to go into negative values after completing the Fishman Soothsayer event.
* Fixed a bug with tooltips for Forest Mysteries not appearing in the Training Expedition UI.
*

===== Early Access version: 0.51.1 - Fishman Soothsayer =====

Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by the community.

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Added a new forbidden glade event.
** Fishman Soothsayer - An old wandering soothsayer, seething with magic. He does not speak, though you can hear his voice. His eyes are blank, yet you can feel his gaze. He is not afraid of death, he stands by its side.

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Changed the ore balance and how it’s spawned in glades.
** Ore no longer appears under trees.
** It’s now always contained in a 3x3 square.
** Adjusted spawn rates in biomes with more than one type of ore (Marshlands). It should be a bit harder now to find both Coal and Copper in the same spot.
* ⚡ Changed how fertile soil is spawned in glades. It should no longer appear hidden under trees.
* ⚡ The Black Treasure Stag no longer gives Cornerstones with significant drawbacks.
* ⚡ Added Porridge to traders who sell/buy food items.
* ⚡ Rebalanced the Pack of Goods economy (Pack of Building Materials, Pack of Crops, Pack of Provisions, Pack of Trade Goods, and Pack of Luxury Goods).
** All packs are now worth a lot more.
** Increased the trade value return rate for all pack recipes. This means that even when making packs with a tier 0 recipe, the value of the created item will be higher than the sum of its ingredients.
** Increased the number of packs bought by other settlements in trade routes. Every biome town now has 3 types of packs it’s willing to buy.
** The Smoldering City now buys almost all types of packs (except Packs of Provisions, which are used to fuel trade routes).
** Our goal with this change was to make packs a bit more interesting and profitable to play with, as right now they are mostly just crafted when an Order requires it. We wanted to move them a bit more into a space where they can be a viable option in trading-focused builds.
* Decreased the amount of food sold by all traders. They will still have the same types, but in smaller quantities (for example: 50 instead of 70).
* Slightly increased the value of raw food items (both when selling and buying).
* Slightly increased the difference between the sell and buy value of food in general (by around 10%).
** Our goal with this (and the other food economy adjustments listed above) was to make it a bit harder to flat out buy food for an entire year or two when you’re not specialized in trading or exploring (as well as encourage a bit more exploration in search of nodes). At the same time, due to the changes to packs, this theoretical nerf should be offset by dipping even slightly into a more trading-focused type of gameplay.
* Slightly rebalanced the prices of multiple resources. The goal here was to normalize the trade value return rates (how much it costs to make an item vs. how much it can be sold for). In general, most items are crafted at a small loss on tier 0, and with no value gain on tier 1 (everything above is increasing the value).
* Rebalanced the burning rates of resources in the Hearth (as well as the Hearth’s fuel limit and the Firekeeper’s carrying capacity).
** Wood now burns for 10 seconds instead of 15 seconds.
** Oil now burns for 20 seconds instead of 30 seconds.
** Coal and Sea Marrow now burn for 40 seconds instead of 60 seconds.
** Firekeepers can now carry 10 items at once (instead of 5).
* This change was done to slightly increase the upkeep cost of Hearths, as currently, it’s a bit too easy to have multiple in one settlement. Additionally, Firekeepers transporting more goods should decrease the likelihood of negative fuel rate effects triggering “no fuel” warnings (even if a Firekeeper decides to take a break in the meantime).
* Increased the production time for all rainwater types in rain collectors (from 15 to 20 seconds) and geyser pumps (from 10 to 15 seconds).
* Slightly decreased the maximum possible number of newcomers for each year.
** For example, previously in year 3, you would get between 3 and 6 villagers. Now it’s 3 and 5.
* Removed Citadel Resources earnable during settlement runs (from perks or events).
* While finding Citadel Resources in chests in the middle of the forest can be pretty exciting, we decided to remove this type of reward because it was having a negative effect on the game’s flow as a whole (by encouraging artificially prolonged runs and causing confusion about resource acquisition after a victory).
* Reduced the number of workers in the Beanery from 4 to 3.
* Lowered the Hostility reduction in the Converted Altar of Decay effect from 25 to 20 per dead villager.

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ Goods in the Embark Panel are now divided into base goods (same for every caravan) and caravan-specific resources.
* ⚡ Added specialization icons to the worker overlay (ALT).
* ⚡ Resource tooltips now take rebuilt ruins into account when highlighting owned buildings.
* ⚡ Orders that require completing a high-value trade route now show the exact value on the HUD.
* ⚡ Added a highlight to need icons in the Species HUD when all members of a given species have the need fulfilled.
* ⚡ Added the option to move between buildings with the arrow keys when hovering over them (without the need to open the building UI).
* ⚡ Added a shortcut for opening the Consumption Control Panel (“I” by default).
* ⚡ Cleaned up the terminology in effect labels to clearly show what an effect is and where it came from (Cornerstones, regular perks, biome effects, working effects, event consequences, decoration effects, service building effects, etc.).
* ⚡ Changed the wording on Forest Mysteries that scale based on Hostility (to make it clearer what the exact value of the penalty will be).
* ⚡ Added tank capacity to the descriptions of rain collectors and geyser pumps.
* ⚡ Clearance sunbeams can now be disabled in the options menu (using the “lightning flashes” checkbox).
* ⚡ Added a new Encyclopedia entry about services. This entry will also be displayed as an alert during the tutorial (when building a Tavern for the first time).
* ⚡ The Drizzle auto pause will no longer stop Cornerstone choices from appearing (previously you had to unpause to get them).
* ⚡ Changed the wording of the Forsaken Gods Temple modifier to more clearly describe its effect.
* ⚡ Changed the description of the “discover Dangerous Glades in time” Order objective to also mention Forbidden Glades.
* ⚡ Changed the “Other Negative” icon’s color in the species panel (from blue to red).
* Added a “request a feature” button to the ESC menu. Clicking it will take you directly to our Feature Request Tool, where you can post and vote on other people’s suggestions.
* Changed the wording in multiple descriptions tied to fuel consumption effects (to make them more easily understandable).

'''Bug fixes'''
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with Foxes not being drawn for Daily Expeditions.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Like a Machine Deed not resetting progress between games.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Woodpecker Technique Cornerstone incorrectly giving Insects for cutdown trees in Drizzle and Clearance.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Destroyed Cage of the War Beast glade event showing an incorrect Impatience prompt.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with an empty worker overlay being visible above traders found in glades when holding Alt.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with some glade events having incorrect animations tied to the “burn down” decision.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with Grain and Herbs being considered “food” by some effects (like food removal penalties, etc.).
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with the game sometimes freezing when quitting it.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Basic Housing need status not updating right away when removing houses.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the recipe overlay (CTRL) sometimes not working correctly.
* ⚡ Fixed an out-of-place floating shoulder piece in multiple Fox animations.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug that caused incorrect value changes when using Shift and left-click on the arrow buttons.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with the total game time statistic counting time too fast.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with Dangerous and Forbidden Glade warnings covering up species’ passive effect markers.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with pathfinding breaking sometimes when trying to build a road on terrain where an event exploded previously.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with some villagers being so busy with their tasks to realize they want to leave the settlement due to low Resolve (they left many seconds after the red bar filled up around their species’ portrait).
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the resource radial menu staying on the screen after a game has been won.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with one of the Petrified Tree’s working effects lacking some information in the description.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug that made it impossible to locate the Archaeologist’s Office when using arrow keys while hovering over the building card.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with the Robbed Dead working effect having an incorrect frame color.
* ⚡ Fixed multiple typos and inconsistencies in the Simplified Chinese localization of the game (encyclopedia, trader dialogue, Forest Mysteries, order names, objectives, perks, ghost dialogue, and event decisions).
* ⚡ Fixed multiple typos in the Russian localization of the game (Filling Dish, Beanery and Brewery, Corruption).
* ⚡ Fixed some incorrect tags in decoration descriptions in the Korean localization of the game.
* ⚡ Fixed some missing tags in decoration descriptions in the Czech localization of the game.
* ⚡ Fixed a typo with the Guild Catalogue perk in the Polish localization of the game.
* Fixed a bug with the Impatience penalty prompt from the Harmony Spirit Altar displaying an incorrect value.
* Fixed some inconsistencies with alert icon height above decorations of the same size.
* Fixed an issue with World Map markers being too bright.

'''Other'''
* Updated the Mine’s visual representation. Added a few new props and a drilling animation.
* Changed the animation played by scouts when working on a Blood Flower glade event.
* Changed the icon of the Converted Harmony Spirit Altar effect to avoid duplicates.
* Changed the icon of the Heavy Fog working effect to avoid duplicates.

===== Early Access version: 0.50.3 - Translations, Attacking a Trader =====

* Added the missing translations to the new content introduced in yesterday's update - German, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
* Fixed a bug that caused the game to break when attacking a trader in the Trading Post.
* Fixed a bug with the Rainpunk Drill not having the ore spawn effect attached to the "fix" decision in maps without fertile soil.
* Fixed a bug with the Withered Tree working effect scaling off of Trading Routes instead of discovered Glades.
* Fixed an issue with the Metallurgic Proficiency perk not affecting Tea production.

===== Early Access version: 0.50.1 - Forest Treasures =====

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Added 3 new types of glade events dedicated to small glades.
** These events are not dangerous and are designed to increase the overall attractiveness and viability of small glades. For now, there are 3 categories of such events, and more are to be added in the future.
** Treasure Stags (3 types) - mythical beasts found in the forest. Once discovered, they flee to a nearby dangerous glade, where they stay for a short period of time. If you open the dangerous glade within the required time limit, you will find them and be rewarded.
** Wandering Merchants (3 types) - hermit traders not tied to the Merchant’s Guild. Once they are found in the forest, a trader icon will appear on the HUD, and you will be able to trade with them for a short while. After the timer runs out, they will leave. Wandering Traders have fewer resources and perks on sale (compared to normal traders), but their assortment is unique.
** Rainpunk Drill - an abandoned piece of machinery found in the forest. They can be disassembled or repaired. Repairing a Rainpunk Drill spawns a few Copper Ore or Coal nodes in close vicinity.
* Added 4 new perks. They are only available in Dullahan’s Mystery Boxes and can be bought from the new Wandering Merchants.
** Badge of Courage - A famous Viceroy emblem passed down from generation to generation. Discovering a glade during the Storm lowers Impatience by 0,5.
** Lucky Charm - A strange talisman made from an extremely rare gemstone - blue Amber. Grants 1 additional cornerstone reroll charge.
** Firekeeper Letters - The exchange of knowledge between firekeepers can be very beneficial. The maximum number of sacrifice stacks in the Ancient Hearth is increased by 1 for every 2 ongoing trade routes.
** Makeshift Water Tank - Increases the tank capacity for every type of rainwater by 50.
* Added a new timed order.
* Supply Thy Neighbor - with the objective to complete valuable trade routes. This order was added in place of the old Outerwear order (which was disabled after the addition of species abilities in the Sentinels of the Forest update).

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Changed the recipe tiers in the Brickyard.
** Bricks - from 2 stars to 3 stars.
** Crystalized Dew - from 2 stars to 1 star.
* ⚡ Increased the overall spawn rate of beneficial events on small glades (caches, camps, and the new types - traders, rainpunk drills, and stags).
* ⚡ Slightly lowered the arrival time of traders that were immediately called to the settlement.
* ⚡ Rebalanced all effects tied to fuel consumption rates, and changed the minimum fuel levels in the Ancient Hearth. The maximum possible value for fuel consumption effects was decreased by around 20 percentage points.
** Previously, if players had a particularly unlucky set of modifiers and effects, the game would show notifications about insufficient fuel reserves even if there was enough wood/coal/oil, and a Firekeeper was working without taking breaks. This was because FIrekeepers would refill fuel after reaching a certain threshold, and that threshold was too low.
** Humid Climate - changed the fuel consumption rate increase from 25% to 20%.
* ⚡ Moved the Vanguard Spire Level 5 Citadel Upgrade to level 10 (from level 8). This was done so the essential Fox House wouldn’t be unlocked before having access to Foxes.
* ⚡ Changed the requirements in the Advanced Outpost Order to avoid repetitions (it now requires a level 3 Hearth instead of level 2 on higher difficulties).
* ⚡ Changed how the game chooses workers when assigning them to a workplace. From now on, the algorithm will look at two factors to find the optimal worker: the distance from the workplace and the time left before taking a break.
* Changed the rewards for the Brotherhood order. Removed the Working Hard and Smart perk and added the Vessel of Incense perk instead.

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ Added the biome summary tooltip to the order pick menu, trading panel, and the wildcard panel. You can now hover over the round resource icon next to the NPC portrait in these windows to see what resources are potentially available on your map.
* ⚡ Changed the name of the “Sheltered” need to “Basic Housing”.
* ⚡ Added a list of buildings that can produce a given resource to the “sell goods” order objective tooltip.
* ⚡ Changed the name of the Human Resolve order to avoid confusion.
* Improved the wording in the Guild Catalogue perk description (to state clearly that traders can have more perks or blueprints, not Cornerstones).
* Changed the description and name of the Resolve effect applied by the Converted Harmony Spirit Altar to avoid confusion.
* Changed the name of the Experienced Scout perk to Scout's Toolbox.
* Changed Xiadani’s title from Wandering Merchant to The Guild's Outcast.
* 

'''Bug fixes'''
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Makeshift Extractor (a decoration created by converting the Fuming Machinery glade event) not adding rainwater tank capacity.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the “move” button in the Trading Post now working in maps with the Levitating Monument modifier.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the “move” button in the Trading Post not working when another building was selected before clicking on the Trading Post.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with perk timers resetting after reaching more than 59 minutes.
* ⚡ Fixed an incorrect label for the Degradation working effect in the Petrified Tree glade event.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with scenes loading twice and breaking the game in some rare cases.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the game crashing when Twitch auto-login was enabled and the initial chat connection failed.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the construction mode breaking when double-clicking on a Geyser Pump.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the construction mode breaking when placing multiple buildings one after another and selecting villagers at the same time.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Trader indicator not changing positions after moving the Trading Post.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with species portraits being slightly off-center in the Consumption Control panel.
* ⚡ Patched up some holes in the Clan Hall building model.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with the Embark Screen having inconsistencies between UI elements.
* ⚡ Fixed a typo in the Family Gratitude perk description in the Japanese version of the game.
* ⚡ Fixed a typo in the “use any rainwater” objective description in the Korean version of the game.
* Improved overall stability and fixed numerous smaller bugs behind the scenes (these errors had no real visible representation in the game, but once they occurred in the background, they would influence mechanics and systems in weird ways).

===== Early Access version: 0.49.4 - Tooltips, Timers =====

* Fixed a bug with tooltips scaling incorrectly in Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
* Fixed a bug with the "discover glades in quick sucession" orders resetting timers after loading a save.
* Fixed an issue with modifier tooltips not disappearing correctly after closing the Training Expedition panel using ESC.
* Fixed an issue with the news panel in the main menu not scaling correctly in some languages.
* Fixed a bug that caused players to not get boosted to level 2 after skipping the tutorial from the option screen in the main menu.
* Fixed a bug with ghosts in the Cursed Royal Woodlands not removing Porridge when destroying stored food.
* Fixed a bug with NPC names in the Forsaken Altar scaling incorrectly.
* Slightly tweaked the number of newcomers that can arrive each year.

===== Early Access version: 0.49.3 - Merchant Shipwreck =====

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Added a new dangerous glade event.
** Merchant Shipwreck - How powerful must the storm surge have been to carry this shattered wreck all the way here? Perhaps in the distant past, there was a sea in this place? It looks as if it had been lying here for centuries. Strange voices can be heard from below the deck...
* ⚡ Added 8 new deeds. All of them are tied to the new modifiers that were introduced into the game a few updates ago.
** Frosts - Win a game near the Frosts modifier.
** Abandoned Settlement - Win a game near the Abandoned Settlement modifier.
** Untamed Wilds - Win a game near the Untamed Wilds modifier.
** Land of Greed - Win a game near the Land of Greed modifier.
** Petrified Necropolis - Win a game near the Petrified Necropolis modifier.
** Gathering Storm - Win a game near the Gathering Storm modifier.
** Overgrown Library - Win a game near the Overgrown Library modifier.
** Ominous Presence - Win a game near the Ominous Presence modifier.
* Added 6 new ghost encounters in the Cursed Royal Woodlands.
** Ghost of a Lizard Elder
** Ghost of a Lost Scout
** Ghost of an Old Merchant
** Ghost of a Murdered Trader
** Ghost of a Fox Elder
** Ghost of a Teadoctor
* Added 7 new Orders. All of them make use of new objective types introduced into the game - completing trade routes with a given minimum value, and discovering glades in a short time span.
** Profit Margin
** Profitable Trade
** Fair Exchange
** Export Hub
** Into the Unknown
** Hasty Explorer
** All at Once

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Rebalanced the spawn rates of ghost encounters in the Cursed Royal Woodlands. The chances of coming across two identical ghosts on the same map should now be minimal.
* ⚡ Changed how cyst spawning during the Storm works. Previously, every Cyst that spawned during the Storm was immediately open. Now, after the last open Cyst was burned, subsequent cysts will appear closed.
** This means that if you are in the middle of burning Cysts during the Storm, and a new one appears, it will be open. But if you burn all Cysts, and a new one appears only after the last one has been destroyed, it will lay dormant until the next Storm (or until awakened by an event, like the Infected Mole).
* ⚡ Changed the Land of Greed modifier effect. It no longer removes event rewards.
** Land of Greed - The strange totem causes you to only focus on your wealth... And the Crown is worried. Impatience grows 50% quicker, but every ongoing trade route reduces Impatience generation speed by 20%.
* ⚡ Added new decisions to 5 already existing glade events.
** Corrupted Caravan - with the option to either cleanse it or send contaminated goods to the Citadel (tagged as corruption).
** Fuming Machinery - with the option to either tear it down or fix it (and be rewarded with a decoration with a special effect).
** Withered Tree - with the option to either cleanse it or cut it down.
** Petrified Tree - with the option to either cut it down or heal it (tagged as empathy).
** Noxious Machinery - with the option to either cleanse it or tear it down.
* ⚡ If a player isn’t level 2 after the second tutorial map (because they skipped the tutorial, lost a game, or an update reset their settlement), they will be automatically promoted to level 2 after entering the World Map for the first time.
* The size of the Newcomers caravan now scales with in-game years instead of scaling with the number of villagers in the settlement.
* Changed the reward for the “fix” option in the Leaking Cauldron glade event. Instead of giving Reputation, it spawns fertile soil around.
* Changed the way newcomer scaling works. Previously, the number of new villagers was based on the population of a settlement. Now the numbers are based statically on the number of years past. This change was introduced to allow players to recover more quickly after a negative chain of events wipes out a significant portion of their villagers.
* Changed the way Standing levels progress when using Trade Routes. Previously, neighboring towns would level up after a fixed number of routes were completed. Now it’s the value of your transactions that counts. This change should introduce more variance into the system, and make it possible to gain Standing more reliably (with big transactions).
* Increased the Complex Food requirement in the Vitality effect. It now requires 200 units (instead of 150) of complex food consumed to add the Resolve bonus.

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ The Trading Post is now movable. The “move” button can be found in the Trading Panel after selecting the building (you can also move the Trading Post by hovering your cursor over it and pressing M on your keyboard).

* ⚡ Resource tooltips now show which buildings a player owns (they are highlighted in the list of all buildings that can produce said resource).

* ⚡ Need tooltips now show which service buildings a player owns (they are highlighted in the list of all buildings that can fulfill said need).
* ⚡ Holding Shift when changing production limits will now change the number by 10. Holding Ctrl will change the number by 5.
* ⚡ The clickable area for Woodcutters’ Camp settings has been enlarged.
* ⚡ Resources in the “related goods” section of the Recipe Popup are now separated based on which slot they are assigned to in the original recipe.

* ⚡ Fixed an incorrect objective text displayed on the HUD for Orders based on delivering goods.

* Fixed a few incorrect profession names assigned to new buildings (Distillery, Beanery, Tea House).
* Fixed an issue with female Fox villagers carrying incorrectly rotated objects.

'''Other'''
* ⚡ Added 2 new music tracks to the Cursed Royal Woodlands (during Storm).
* Added a new officially supported language - Thai.
* Changed the visual representation, name, and description of the Living Matter. The event (and its clone) is now called Blood Flower. This change was introduced mainly to get rid of the old Living Matter model (which was simply a particle effect) and to ground it a bit more in the game’s lore.

* Temporarily removed the state preview form the Voice of the Forest effect.

===== Early Access version: 0.47.1 - Explorers' Choice Update =====
'''New content and features'''
* Revamped most glade events by introducing a new system - Event Choices.
* Until now, most events only had the same two options: keep the loot, or send it to the Citadel (or sometimes - convert a dangerous event into a positive decoration). The Event Choices system expands on that, creating more unique and flavorful decisions for almost all events.
* From now on, you no longer select just the reward from an event, but you have to select the approach you’re taking to solve it first. Each approach has different requirements (goods or working effects), and the rewards are bound to it.
* Let’s take the Altar of Decay as an example - you can either act morally, tear it down, and be rewarded with some loot and the Queen’s gratitude, or you can perform an old, forbidden ritual, sacrificing one of your villagers, and convert the altar into a decoration that will benefit you. Each option requires different goods and has different working effects.
* Another example would be Caches found in some glades. They can now be smashed and looted using some simple resources (like Stone and Resin), or sent back to the Citadel for Amber and Reputation (but at a much higher cost - for Tools).
* Some decisions in events are marked by special symbols (for Empathy, Corruption, Loyalty). Solving an event with a tag like this will count as 1 point in Empathy/Corruption/Loyalty (for example sacrificing villagers at an altar will increase the Corruption count of your settlement). Right now these statistics only influence some perks in the game, and might be required by certain orders.
* A vast majority of events have been rebalanced due to this new system being added. The individual changes are too numerous to list them here, but in general, almost all resource requirements are now different, and working effects are mostly tied to just one of the two available decisions (the other is often just resources). The number of alternatives in resource slots in a single option is also slightly lower, but that’s because there are now two options to choose from (so the overall number of alternatives should still be higher than previously).
* ⚡ Added 3 new decorations.
** Chest
** Cages
** Thorny Reed
* Added a new Stormforged Cornerstone.
** Seal Fragment - It was not you who removed this fragment, weakening the ancient seal, but you would still be executed on the spot if someone was to find it in your possession. Every Glade Event solved by making a decision marked as Corruption increases the chance of workers producing double yields by +5%. (the bonus is added retroactively)

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Rebalanced the Shrine glade event in the first tutorial. It now requires fewer resources and has a slightly longer time limit.
* ⚡ Temporarily deactivated the Magical Rainwater Order. It will be reactivated after being revamped in a future update.
* ⚡ The Temple is now automatically unlocked after finishing the tutorial (instead of being unlocked at level 3).
* ⚡ Changed how far the Resolve threshold for generating reputation moves for Harpies after they generated a Reputation Point. Previously, every Reputation Point gained through Resolve moved the threshold by 2 points, and now it is moved up by 3 points.
* Rebalanced a vast majority of events because of the addition of the new Event Choices system. The individual changes are too numerous to list here, but in general, almost all resource requirements are now different, and working effects have been reshuffled.
** Working Effects are mostly tied to just one of the two available decisions (the other is often just resources).
** The number of alternatives in resource slots in a single option is slightly lower, but that’s because there are now two options to choose from (so the overall number of alternatives should still be higher than previously).
** More varied types of goods are now required by events. Simple Tools are now less prevalent in event requirements.
* Changed the difficulty scaling for goods required by all events. Overall, the resource scaling is now steeper than before.
* Decreased the number of rewards given for opening Caches in glades.
* Most orders and ghost requests asking for a specific solution to a glade event (like sending stuff to the Citadel or salvaging ruins) have been replaced by objectives tied to the new decision tags (Empathy, Corruption, Loyalty).
* Removed Infused Tools from the game.
* Increased the production speed of Tools from 112/98/84 seconds to 90/75/60 seconds (T1/T2/T3).
* Increased the time limit for all glade events by around 30%.
* Changed the Calming the Forest perk. Now every Glade Event solved by making a decision marked as Empathy lowers Hostility by 40.
* Removed the Forest Mitigation perk and added Frequent Patrols instead. Every Glade Event solved by making a decision marked as Loyalty lowers Hostility by 10.
* Removed the Infused Tools recipe from the Finesmith. Added the Simple Tools recipe instead (tier 3).
* Removed the Infused Tools recipe from the Rainpunk Foundry. Added a Wildfire recipe instead.
* Changed the rewards in 3 Deeds.
** The Scarlet Orchard - removed the experience reward, added the Thorny Reed decoration.
** Bandit Camp - removed the experience reward, added the Cages decoration.
** Trade Baron - removed the experience reward, added the Chest decoration.
* Moved the Tool Hoarder Deed (win a game with Infused Tools in the storage) to the Legacy category (the Deed is no longer active).
* Moved the Meat Specialization perk unlock from level 2 to level 3.

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ Added small objective icons to some Orders.
** Until now, objectives such as sacrificing, delivering, selling, or producing goods all had the same icon - namely the icon of the resource they were referencing.
** To help players recognize objectives at a glance, we added small, flat icons to the upper right corner of the objective icon.
** There are 7 objective icons right now: changing ingredients, delivering goods, fulfilling needs, fulfilling needs at the same time, producing goods, sacrificing resources, and selling goods.
* ⚡ Added a suffix to Hostility modifiers on the World Map and in the Training/Daily Expeditions UI, explaining that Hostility scales based on the difficulty level.
* ⚡ Added a progress tracker to the Petrified Necropolis modifier.
* ⚡ Changed the name of the Resolve effect applied by the Greater Threat Forest Mystery. It’s now also called “Greater Threat” to avoid confusion.
* ⚡ Changed the description of the positive effect from the Converted Altar of Decay to also include leaving villagers (and not just dead ones).
* ⚡ Updated the biome descriptions for the Royal Woodlands and Marshlands.
* ⚡ Added information about how to unlock Rain Engines in the Rainpunk entry in the in-game Encyclopedia.
* Updated the Glade Event entry in the in-game Encyclopedia.

* Changed the name of Simple Tools to just Tools.

===== Early Access version: 0.46.1 - Twitch Integration Update =====

'''New content and features'''
* Added a Twitch Integration feature - Forest Guardians vs. Council of Elders chat minigame.
** The “Forest Guardians vs. Council of Elders” chat minigame is a way for viewers to directly influence a streamer’s game. Viewers can join two distinct factions: the Forest Guardians (by typing !join forest) or the Council of Elders (by typing !join town). Guardians will try to hinder the streamer, while the Council will try to help.
** During a game, each faction has three slots for characters, randomly chosen from their members (who opted in to participate). Each character can enable one of the three abilities by typing commands in the chat. Only viewers currently controlling Guardians or Council Members can use abilities.
** Forest Guardians can passively remove food, increase hostility, and slow down glade event progress. Council Members can increase resolve, slow down villager leaving rates, and increase the chance for double yields (the full list of abilities is visible after typing !help in chat).
** Forest Guardians have their names displayed above nearby Dangerous Events, while Council Members are assigned to villagers. They can be defeated, in which case they lose control over their character and their active ability is disabled. The next faction member will be selected after a cooldown.
** The audience can vote for your in-game choices via native Twitch polls. You can customize the voting mode, channel points usage, and polls' duration in the game's Options (Twitch tab).
** The chat minigame can be customized in the options menu (under the “Twitch” tab). You can choose what factions are enabled, how many seconds of cooldown there are (for abilities and viewer slot filling), as well as if the chat commands should use your game’s language.
** If you ever forget the rules of the chat minigame, there is now a new Encyclopedia entry explaining everything (and we also prepared a streamer guide, and you can type !help into the chat to learn more).
** Please remember that chat commands are localized into the game’s language (unless a checkbox to always use English is enabled in the Options menu).
* Added a Twitch Integration feature - chat polls.
** The audience can vote for in-game choices via native Twitch polls.
** Currently, chat polls support Cornerstones, Blueprints, Orders, Caravans, and Newcomers.
** Polls can be customized - you can select the voting mode (automatic, opt-in), if channel points count towards votes, and how long the poll will last (these settings are present under the “Twitch” tab in the Options menu).
** Twitch polls require Affiliate or Partner status.
* Added 3 new Forest Mysteries.
** Drizzle Anomaly - The rain seems to fall... slower. Gain 15 Drizzle Water per minute during the Drizzle.
** Scavenging Season - The Drizzle in this region is very mild, making it the perfect season for looting. Increases the chance of bringing back twice as many goods from Glade Events solved during the Drizzle.
** Unyielding Corruption - The spreading Corruption strikes fear into the hearts of you villagers. No amount of assurances or flattery can change that. Favoring is unavailable while the Hearth is being corrupted.
* Added 2 new Orders.
** Restoration - convert glade events into positive decorations.
** Gifts for the Queen - choose the “send to Citadel” option when solving glade events.

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Rebalanced multiple Forest Mysteries.
** "Charged" Rain - increased the Hostility level from 4 to 5.
** Strange Lights - changed the internal spawn conditions of this Mystery, so it’s accompanied by more beneficial positive Mysteries or by less threatening negative ones.
** Downpour - increased the Hostility level from 4 to 5.
** Nauseous Spores - lowered the Hostility level from 5 to 4. Changed the internal spawn conditions of this Mystery, so it’s accompanied by more beneficial positive Mysteries or by less threatening negative ones.
** Eerie Song - Changed the internal spawn conditions of this Mystery, so it’s accompanied by more beneficial positive Mysteries or by less threatening negative ones.
** Greater Threat - increased the Hostility level from 2 to 4. Changed the internal spawn conditions of this Mystery, so it’s accompanied by more beneficial positive Mysteries or by less threatening negative ones.
** Rotten Rain - increased the Hostility level from 2 to 3. Changed the internal spawn conditions of this Mystery, so it’s accompanied by more beneficial positive Mysteries or by less threatening negative ones.
** Cloudburst - increased the Hostility level from 3 to 4. Changed the internal spawn conditions of this Mystery, so it’s accompanied by more beneficial positive Mysteries or by less threatening negative ones.
** Acid Rain - changed the internal spawn conditions of this Mystery, so it’s accompanied by less beneficial positive Mysteries or by more threatening negative ones.
** Faint Flame - decreased the Hostility level from 3 to 2.
** Absorption - decreased the Hostility level from 3 to 2.
** Grim Fate - changed the effects label from “Very Harsh” to “Devastating”.
** Saturated Air - lowered the requirement for used Rainwater to trigger the positive Resolve bonus (from 50 to 30).
** Soft Stems - this Mystery was removed entirely.
** Reshuffled Forest Mystery groups in different biomes. Previously, there were a few effects that would only spawn in one or two environments - they can now spawn in most biomes.
** The changes to the “internal spawn conditions” mentioned in this list are influencing the RNG of different effects, and should lead to a more fair and even distribution (so if you get a very harsh negative Forest Mystery, there is a higher chance it’s accompanied by a very beneficial positive effect).
* ⚡ Rebalanced multiple orders.

* ⚡ Improved the game’s performance in the Scarlet Orchard. This biome was a bit more demanding than the rest due to more detailed assets and thick foliage. It should now run a lot smoother.

===== Early Access version: 0.45.1- Modifiers Update =====

Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by the community.

'''New content and features'''
** ⚡ Added 8 new World Map Modifiers (inspired by a recent Community Brainstorm).
** Frosts - A bizarre cold rises from below and engulfs the Sacred Flame. All Hearths have a smaller radius.
** Abandoned Settlement - Some other Viceroy tried to settle this area, but unfortunately failed... You start with a small destroyed settlement in your initial glade.
** Untamed Wilds - Nobody settled in this region for multiple Cycles. Every Dangerous and Forbidden Glade contains two threats instead of one (except glades with Archaeological Discoveries in the Scarlet Orchard).
** Land of Greed - The strange totem doesn't allow you to share your wealth with anyone... Choosing the "send to Citadel" option in Glade Events no longer awards Reputation Points.
** Petrified Necropolis - Rocks in this region have a very peculiar shape… Dead villagers turn to stone. Gain Meat for every Stone and Clay produced.
** Gathering Storm - A mysterious force is drawing in heavy clouds. Every year, the storm lasts longer.
** Overgrown Library - A remnant of a bygone era, when Royal Archivists themselves ventured out into the wilderness in search of knowledge. One of your starting blueprint choices is replaced by a Wildcard (you can choose one blueprint from all unlocked blueprints).
** Ominous Presence - Something strange is trapped beneath the ground. Gain double the amount of Hostility for each year, but every time a villager dies, Hostility is decreased.
** All new modifiers were added to the Daily Expedition pool and can also be selected in Training Expeditions.

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Increased the total number of modifiers spawned on the World Map. You should see a higher density of points of interest on the map, and this change should also make it a bit easier to find certain Modifiers required by Deeds.
* ⚡ Rebalanced Modifier spawn rates - they are now more equally distributed.
* Rebalanced multiple orders in the game.

** Moved the buy button for new offer slots from the main offer list to the side list of towns.
** Removed the biome name from the town slot to make more space for the town name. The biome name can still be seen in the town tooltip.

** The Trade Route button on the HUD will now show two numbers: trade routes ready to be collected (on the left), and trade routes that can be started right away (on the right). This should make it easier to make decisions at a glance without needing to open the trade route UI.
** Slightly rearranged the Trade Route panel (mostly the checkboxes and the headers).
* ⚡ Added an effect preview in the description of retroactive perks. Now before buying or picking a retroactive perk, you will be able to see the expected bonus from it.
* ⚡ Changed the way removing buildings works. Now all buildings (aside from roads and decorations) will always ask for confirmation. You can skip the confirmation pop-up by holding Shift when destroying buildings.
* ⚡ Added an explanation to timed Resolve penalties that were started by Forest Mysteries during the Storm (such as Cloudburst and Creeping Shadows). The tooltip now reads “Timed Resolve effects expire only after the timer reaches 0, even if they were started by a Forest Mystery during the Storm.” to avoid confusion.
* ⚡ Changed the wording on progress previews in effects that are only active during one season (like Cricket Mating Grounds, Woodpecker Technique, and Improvised Tools).
* ⚡ Added a new setting in the options menu - UI scroll sensitivity. It affects all scroll bars in the game’s UI.
* ⚡ Updated the description of the Earthquake effect (Drainage Mole) to also include information about nearby glade events being destroyed by it.
* ⚡ Improved the wording in the Awakening effect’s description (Infected Drainage Mole) to make it clear that Cysts remain active even after solving the corresponding glade event.
* ⚡ Changed the wording in the Silent Looting perk description to make it more consistent with other text in the game.
* Added information about the radius to some explosion effects (like in the Noxious Machinery glade event).
* Added a new graphic setting in the options menu - shadow fade distance. You can now control the distance at which shadows are disabled (to lower the strain on your GPU or increase the graphical fidelity of the game).
* Changed the name of the “Modifiers” tab in the Embark View to “Conditions”, to better describe the information that is available after clicking it.
* Changed the name and description of the Ruined Settlement modifier to avoid confusion with the new Abandoned Settlement modifier. It’s now called Ruins, and the description states that there is a higher chance of finding ruined buildings in the forest.

'''Other'''

Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by the community.

'''New content and features'''

* Workers in production buildings can now take resources directly from internal storages of other nearby buildings.
* Workers will take resources only from buildings in a small radius around the workshop.
* When placing or selecting a building, animated lines will appear on the screen, showing connections to buildings that are in range. Only buildings capable of producing goods used in active recipes are marked. The nearest warehouse is also marked.

* ⚡ Changed the way Favoring (Lighter Treatment) works.
* When you stop favoring a species, a 60-second cooldown will prevent you from favoring another species right away.
* When hovering over the favoring button, the Resolve values near the species portraits will change, giving you a preview of the effect before clicking.
* Added 1 new Glade Event.
* Altar of Decay - A sinister stone structure created to worship the Blightrot. Cultists have engraved the inscription: "Nothing escapes death".
* The Noxious Machinery Glade Event has been reworked.
* It now no longer pumps rainwater into the settlement's tanks and kills villagers when the limit is reached. Instead, it now “steals” rainwater and generates a small number of Cysts every 120 seconds.
* Added 5 new Cornerstones.
* Alarm Bells - The Brass Order's newest invention - an intricate system of sensors that can detect Corruption before it spreads too much. Workers have a 15% higher chance of producing double yields when Hearth's Expected Corruption Rate is 200% or higher.
* Royal Guard Training - The Crown sends two Royal Guards to your village. Instead of simply brawling, villagers will now train under them. Fulfilling the need for Brawling grants an additional +5 to Resolve, but attacking a trader will result in you getting 2 extra Impatience Points.
* Industrialized Agriculture - +50% to the number of goods produced in the Forester's Hut.
* Advanced Herbalism - +50% to the number of goods produced in the Herb Garden.
* Large Baskets - +50% to the number of goods produced in the Plantation.

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Rebalanced the Sacred Flame Rituals Forest Mystery and changed its description to avoid confusion. Previously, it was worded as if every villager that wasn’t paid for, would die (but in fact, only one would be killed per year). Now it clearly states that the consequence for not paying only applies once per year, and the number of victims was increased from 1 to 2.
* ⚡ Moved the Field Kitchen unlock from the Dim Square Level 8 upgrade to Level 7. The Packs of Provisions Embark Bonus from Level 7 was moved up to Level 8.
* ⚡ Rebalanced the Living Matter Glade Event. The working effect (Decaying Food) should now consume less food (around 17% less on lower difficulties, and 33% less on Viceroy).
* Rebalanced the Petrified Tree Glade Event. It now has an additional working effect (fewer spots in every house), but the woodcutting speed penalty was nerfed.
* Slightly increased the spawn rate of the Petrified Tree Glade Event.
* Cysts can now spawn on warehouses. The Main Warehouse can have 6 cysts, and the small Warehouse can have 3.

* Rebalanced multiple Cornerstones.
** Safe Haven - changed the rarity of this perk from Epic to Legendary.

** Reinforced Axes - lowered the woodcutting speed bonus from 40% to 35%.
** Worker's Rations - lowered the chance of double food consumption from 25% to 20%.
** Counterfeit Amber - now requires 75 water used instead of 100.
** Urban Planning - removed the downside (construction time increase).
** Improvised Tools - now gives 10 Simple Tools (instead of 5) per glade and no longer decreases woodcutter Resolve. But glades must be discovered during the Storm.
** Force of Nature - now gives a +1 bonus to Storm Water production every 2 woodcutters (instead of every 3).
** Overexploitation - lowered the amount of Hostility given by this perk by 33%.

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ Added all three levels (Encampment, Neighborhood, District) to the Hearth UI, to make it easier to know where the player currently is.
* ⚡ Changed the wording of multiple UI elements referring to hubs. Most of them now simply refer to “Hearth levels” and “upgrading the Hearth” to make it easier to understand and not feel lost when orders are asking for “advancing hubs”.
* ⚡ Added a “(Level X)” text to every Hearth stage, to make it easier to identify the different upgrade levels at a glance.
* ⚡ Updated the “Shortcuts” entry in the in-game Encyclopedia with new keybinds.
* ⚡ Added a tooltip trigger (“i” icon) to the UI panel of all unconstructed buildings, explaining how construction priority works.
* ⚡ Added information about Reputation Points lowering Impatience to all Reputation tooltips (rewards, the Reputation bar).
* ⚡ Added an error message with instructions on how to proceed when an autosave fails.
* Changed the description of the Prestige 10 modifier (Sinister Blight) to also include information about increased Blightrot Cysts spawns from sources like glade events, etc.
* Updated Prestige names in the difficulty tooltip to use Roman and Arabic numerals based on the language selected in the options menu.
* Rainwater tanks are now visible on the HUD before unlocking Rainpunk Technology in the Smoldering City.

'''Bug fixes'''

* ⚡ Fixed an issue with the internal storage UI in some buildings not having enough room for all produced/gathered resources (like the Woodcutters’ Camp in the Coral Forest).
* ⚡ Changed the layout of Blightrot Cysts on Shelters to make it easier to see them at a glance (especially when placing Shelters right next to each other).
* ⚡ Fixed numerous translation errors, and improved the overall quality and clarity of the Simplified Chinese localization of the game.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with some Japanese characters having an incorrect typeface.
* Fixed a bug with Resolve tooltips still displaying “time to leave” when hovering over a Species that is already gone from the settlement.

===== Early Access version: 0.43.1 - Rainpunk Part 2 =====

Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by the community.

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Revamped the Rain Collector.
** The Rain Collector can collect Infused Rainwater and has an internal tank. It doesn’t require a geyser to do that.
** Rainwater is collected based on the season you’re in. Drizzle Water in Drizzle, Clearance Water in Clearance, and Storm Water during the Storm.
* Added 5 new Glade Events tied to Blightrot.
** Infected Drainage Mole - One of the mythical guardians of the forest - still alive, but plagued by a mysterious disease. The Blightrot has taken over his mind, causing an unstoppable rage. The disease has progressed too far for him to be saved.
** Noxious Machinery - A damaged and abandoned rainpunk contraption. The area was probably deserted because of a significant explosion risk. The machine's valves emit a distinct Blightrot odor.
** Blightrot Cauldron - A Rainpunk Cauldron filled with Blightrot-contaminated liquid. A moving, living fluid spreads around.
** Corrupted Caravan - A large caravan abandoned in the woods, overgrown with Blightrot Cysts. They must have fed on the transported goods... or people.
** Withered Tree - The once mighty tree has been deformed by the Blightrot living in its root system. The Blightrot poisons the tree's tissues, leading to its long-lasting degradation.
* Added 6 new Forest Mysteries.
** Blight from the Sky (Storm) - Blightrot seems to grow uncontrollably quickly in this region. Every Storm 2 Blightrot Cysts appear in the settlement (multiplied by the number of years that have passed).
** Vanishing Water (Storm) - Infused rainwater slowly evaporates. You lose 1 unit of a random type of water for every 2 units of water used in Rain Engines.
** Blightrot Infection (Storm) - Villagers report feeling sick, especially during the Storm. When a villager leaves or dies, 2 Blightrot Cysts will appear in the settlement.
** Golden Dust (Drizzle) - Some raindrops seem to have a golden hue. Gain 5 Clearance Water for every 10 Drizzle Water gathered.
** Saturated Air (Drizzle) - A pleasant, earthy scent is in the air. Gain +1 to Global Resolve for every 50 units of water used in Rain Engines.
** Heavy Drops (Drizzle) - +3 to Drizzle Water production.
* Added 4 new Cornerstones.
** Cooking Steam - If you leave rainwater for a while, it will begin to release a pleasant and warm vapor. Food production speed is increased by +10% for every 50 units of Drizzle Water stored.
** Counterfeit Amber - Apparently, there is a technique for extracting crystals similar to Amber from rainwater. Gain 10 Amber every time you use 100 units of water in Rain Engines. Blightrot Cysts grow 20% quicker when using Rain Engines. (unlocked after reaching level 17)
** Calming Water - Rainwater seems to soothe the forest. Hostility is reduced by -10 points every time you use 150 units of water in Rain Engines. (unlocked after reaching level 17)
** Force of Nature - The forest and the everlasting rain are connected somehow. Gain +1 to Storm 
Water production for every 3 Woodcutters in your settlement.
* Added a new building - the Advanced Rain Collector.
** It works in the same way as a regular Rain Collector, but has a larger rainwater tank, higher production speed, and collects more water.
** The Advanced Rain Collector is unlocked as a normal blueprint after reaching level 15.
* Added upgrades to Geyser Pumps.
** Automaton - A rainpunk automaton will permanently occupy one workplace. It doesn't eat, and it doesn't need rest. Its sole purpose is to work. Automatons have no chance of producing double yields.
** Tank Capacity Increase - Increases tank capacity for the corresponding rainwater type by 50.
** Second Automaton.
* Added a new Prestige modifier to the Prestige 2 difficulty.
** Blight Swarms - Large swarms of Blightrot migrate across the realm. Every third Clearance, 5 Blightrot Cysts will appear in the settlement.
** This modifier was added in place of the old Prestige 2 modifier that increased Blightrot spawn rates and Hearth Corruption speed.

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ The Blightrot footprint mechanic was removed from the game. Instead, Blightrot Cysts will now be generated for every X water used in Rain Engines.
** We decided to do this because the previous system was too convoluted - you needed to keep in mind a recipe’s base footprint, then multiply it by the Blightrot Footprint Rate, and then try to figure out when a cyst might appear.
** Now, the Rainpunk UI simply shows a progress bar that slowly fills up for every unit of water used. Once it’s full, a cyst will appear, and the bar will reset. Hovering over it will display a tooltip with more detailed calculations.
* ⚡ The Greenhouse and Clay Pit no longer allow you to install Rain Engines. Instead, they use rainwater directly to produce goods. The Greenhouse uses Drizzle Water, and the Clay Pit requires Clearance Water.
* ⚡ Rebalanced all Pipe recipes and changed the trading value for Pipes. It’s now a lot cheaper to make them and buy them.
* The base speed at which Blightrot Cysts and Corruption are generated was increased (to a level similar to the previous Prestige 2 modifier).
* Removed Sparkdew from the game.
** Spardew always had a weird place in the game, and even more so after the introduction of the rainpunk system. Now that the Rain Collector produces rainwater, Sparkdew was no longer needed.
** Crystalized Dew can now be made from Drizzle, Clearance, and Storm Water instead of Sparkdew.
** Infused Tools can now be made with Drizzle, Clearance, and Storm Water instead of Sparkdew.
** Amber can now be made with Drizzle, Clearance, and Storm Water instead of Sparkdew.
** Orders that required Sparkdew and/or a Rain Collector were rebalanced and now require rainwater.
** Glade Events that required Sparkdew now require a specific type of rainwater instead (rainpunk events, ghosts, haunted ruins, and archaeological sites).
** Ruins that previously had Sparkdew in them now give Resin or Pipes.
** The Giant Proto Fungus in the Marshlands now has Insects as a secondary resource instead of Sparkdew.
** The Overheating Forest Mystery now requires Drizzle Water instead of Sparkdew.
** Traders no longer buy or sell Sparkdew. Mystery Boxes sold by the Hooded Trickster will also no longer have Sparkdew in them.
* Slightly lowered the Geyser spawn rate due to rainwater being accessible in Rain Collectors.
* Increased the number of Pipes required for upgrades in the Archaeologist’s Office and the Mine.
* Increased the number of Pipes required for solving rainpunk Glade Events.
* Removed two Forest Mysteries - Fermented Rain and Crimson Rainfall - because they didn’t fit the revamped Rain Collector mechanic.
* Increased the bonus from the Efficiency perk in Rain Engines from +40% production speed to +50% production speed.
* Increased the bonus from the Reliability perk in Rain Engines from +20% chance for double yields to +25% chance for double yields.
* The trader Xiadani Stormfeather is now unlocked after reaching level 16 instead of 15.
* Added more resource options to Archaeological Discoveries in the Scarlet Orchard.
** Added the option to use Pipes in the final stage of the event.
** Added the option to use Drizzle Water in the first stage of the event.
* Increased the cost of building Small Hearths from 1 to 2 Wildfire Essences. At the same time, the trade value of this resource was lowered by almost half, and the number of Wildfire Essences given to the player at the start of a game was doubled.
* Increased the number of Wildfire Essences gained from Glade Events and Orders.
* Increased the chance for Copper Ore from Clay Deposits.
* Decreased the amount of rainwater required in delivery Orders.
** Water Delivery - now requires 40/70/100 Drizzle Water.
** Infused Rainwater - now required 50/75/100 Drizzle and Clearance Water.
* Decreased the Hostility penalty from the Darkest Shadow effect from 80 to 50.
* Changed the request from Ghost of a Royal Architect. It now requires having two hubs at the District level (instead of two hubs at different levels).
* Changed the penalty for failing the Fishmen Lighthouse Glade Event. It now increases working time in Glade Events by 20% but is permanent.

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ Added Geysers to the Resource Overlay (B).
* ⚡ Water icons pointing to nearby Geysers are now automatically shown on the screen when selecting a Geyser in the construction menu (similarly to how nodes are displayed when building camps).
* ⚡ Rainwater Geysers can now be destroyed.
* ⚡ Geyser Pumps now show water production times and stars.
* ⚡ Added water type icons to the Rainpunk Overlay (Tab). If there is no Rain Engine installed, the overlay will only show the water type and a button to install an engine.
* ⚡ Removed some unnecessary text from geyser tooltips (to make it easier to read and get rid of weird worldbuilding).
* ⚡ Changed the style of inactive and pressed buttons in the Trade Route panel to make it easier to see if you can afford a deal.
* Added a new tooltip to one of the resources in the tutorial version of the Ancient Shrine. It now states that it needs to be changed to a different good.

'''Bug fixes'''
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with some penalties from unsolved Ghost events not being applied correctly.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with 3x2 buildings incorrectly rotating (making it possible to place them partially inside other buildings).
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with some saves being corrupted when Blightfigters were interacting with houses at the time of saving.

===== Early Access version: 0.42.1 - Rainpunk Part 1 =====

Number of changes: 84
Inspired by community: 51

Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by the community.

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Introduced a brand new system into the game - Rainpunk Technology.
** The Rainpunk Technology system allows you to install Rain Engines in production buildings and boost productivity using Infused Rainwater.
** To install a Rain Engine, go to the Rainpunk tab in the building UI. You will need a new resource type to pay for it - Pipes. Pipes can be made from metal.
** Once installed, you will see that a Rain Engine has two modules - the primary and secondary engine. The first one can increase productivity, the second one influences working conditions.
** You can freely control the Rain Engines power levels using the knobs on the two modules. The primary engine has 3 levels (increasing production speed and double yield chances), and the secondary one has only 2 (both increasing worker Resolve).
** To power Rain Engines, you will need a steady supply of Infused Rainwater. It can be extracted from Geysers found in glades.
** To extract Infused Rainwater from geysers, you need to build a Geyser Pump on top of it.
** Geysers have an unlimited supply of water, but each Geyser Pump can only hold a limited amount of water in its tank. Workers in the Geyser Pump will gradually fill it up and try to keep it at the maximum level at all times if possible.
** Infused Rainwater is automatically transported to buildings with a Rain Engine installed (there’s no need for a worker to carry it). The speed at which it’s used up depends on the level of power the Rain Engine is operating at.
** There are three types of water - Drizzle Water (green), Clearance Water (yellow), and Storm Water (blue). Each type is used to power different types of production buildings. One geyser has only one type of water in it.
** Drizzle Water is used to boost food production buildings, Clearance Water is used to boost crafting-oriented buildings, and Storm Water is used to boost industrial buildings.
** On higher difficulty levels (above Pioneer) using Rain Engines will cause Blightrot to spawn. The more water is used, the higher the footprint of all recipes.
* Revamped the Blightrot system.
** Blightrot will no longer generate passively with every production cycle. Its main source is now the Rainpunk Technology system. The more Rain Engines are used, the quicker Blightrot accumulates in the settlement.
** Blightrot can also be present in a settlement without the use of Rainpunk. These systems are not inseparable, and Blightrot can come from other sources as well - perks, Forest Mysteries, glade events, etc. There aren’t a lot of these in the game right now, but we will add more in the future.
** Passive Blightrot effects are gone - cysts no longer add any bonuses.
** Workshops fully infected with Blightrot (3 cysts) will now slowly spread it to nearby buildings. Houses and service buildings can now also be infected.
** Buildings infected with Blightrot can now be removed. If you remove a building with Blightrot Cysts, the cysts will simply move to another nearby host.
** Added a new panel to the HUD with a global summary of Corruption levels. Clicking this UI element will open the Blight Post panel.
** Blightrot can now also be generated during the Storm.
** The Blightrot tab in the building panels was removed. After the changes introduced to the system, it didn’t really serve a purpose.
** Other rules of the Blightrot system are unchanged - Blightrot still activates during the Storm, it corrupts the Ancient Hearth, and cysts need to be burned by Blightfighters. The way the Blight Post and Hydrants work is mostly the same.
* ⚡ Two gate decorations (Gate and Ancient Arch) can now be placed on roads. Their size has been changed to 3x1, and the middle part has no collider.
* Increased the maximum player level to 17. Reaching level 17 requires 1200 experience points and unlocks 3 Cornerstones. The rewards will be expanded upon in the future when more content is added.
* Added 7 new upgrades to the Smoldering City. Some were added to the end of the upgrade tree, and others were mixed between existing upgrade levels (so some old upgrades were pushed further up the tree, even as far as level 16 and 17).
** Dim Square Level 7 - Pack of Provisions Embark Bonus and Trader Arrival Time reduction.
** Brass Forge Level 2 - Guaranteed Planks on embark and global productions speed bonus.
** Obsidian Archive Level 6 - Rainpunk system unlock and Impatience reduction.
** Monastery of the Vigilant Flame Level 5 - Guaranteed Fabric when embarking and increased burning duration in the Ancient Hearth.
** First Dawn Company Headquarters Level 1 - additional villagers as an embark bonus and more chances for bonus yields.
** First Dawn Company Headquarters Level 3 - Guaranteed Bricks when embarking and more chances for bonus yields.
** Vanguard Spire Level 9 - Wine Delivery and Cosmetics Delivery as embark bonuses, and an additional node charge increase.
* Added 9 new Orders tied to the new Rainpunk Technology system.
** Beginner Engineer - build Geyser Pumps.
** Water Delivery - delivery Drizzle Water.
** Rainpunk Engineer - use any type of water.
** Engines of Progress - install Rain Engines.
** Power of the Clearance - use Clearance Water.
** Power of the Storm - use Storm Water.
** Power of the Drizzle - use Drizzle Water.
** Rainpunk Enthusiast - use all three types of water.
** Infused Rainwater - deliver two types of water.
* Added 2 new Forest Mysteries.
** Hot Springs - Rainwater Geysers produce pleasant heat in their vicinity. Geyser Pump Operators get +10 to Resolve.
** Natural Filtration - Using Rain Engines causes a lot less Blightrot contamination due to the natural filtration processes of surrounding vegetation. The Blightrot Footprint Rate in all Rain Engines is reduced by 50%.
* Added 1 new Cornerstone.
** Driving Water - Water is not only used to power engines. Woodcutting speed is increased by +10% for every 150 units of water used in Rain Engines.

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Removed the Small Distillery Cornerstone from biomes without Resin in trees.
* ⚡ Removed Sinister Blight and Dire Blight modifiers from Training Expeditions. Blightrot can already be adjusted in the Training Expedition UI, so these effects are redundant.
* Reshuffled some recipes in production buildings
** Added the Pipes recipe (tier 0) to the Crude Workstation.
** Added the Pipes recipe to the Toolshop (tier 2), removed the Waterskins recipe.
** Added the Pipes recipe to the Smelter (tier 2), removed the Crystalized Dew recipe.
* Rebalanced Blightrot footprints for all recipes in the game (so they can be scaled based on the Rain Engine level).
* All rainpunk-themed glade events that require goods to be solved can now also be completed using Pipes.
* Removed Crystalized Dew as a possible ingredient from rainpunk-themed glade events.
* Increased production times across the board to compensate for the big bonus from Rain Engines and to create more space for production boosting perks.
* Changed how the Forge Trip Hammer perk works. It now applies to the Smithy instead of the Crude Workstation, and has no negative Resolve effect.
* Removed the Blight Extractor Cornerstone from the game.

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ Improved the way the game detects long clicks on 3D objects in the game world. It should be easier to select buildings, nodes, events, etc.
* ⚡ Added a Trade Route tooltip to towns in the Training Expedition panel.
* ⚡ Updated the Training Expedition description to clearly state that Deeds can’t be completed in them.
* ⚡ Added a tooltip to the modifiers section in the Training Expedition UI, explaining that some contradicting effects might be discarded when starting a game.
* ⚡ Added an example of service building to the HUB requirements tooltip.
* ⚡ Changed the name of the Resolve effect coming from the Forsaken Crypt to be the same as the working effect on the event’s UI.
* Added two new UI elements to the HUD - a water level indicator (next to resource categories) and a Corruption overview.
* Added a Rainpunk Overlay to the game. You can hold TAB to see where Rain Engines are installed and control their power levels.
* Updated the Encyclopedia entry for Blightrot and Corruption.
* Added a new Encyclopedia entry about Rainpunk.
* Updated the tooltip description for the Scavenging Party daily modifier.
* Replaced Cornerstones in the daily modifier pool (Hidden from the Queen and Rich Glades) with proper modifiers (with the same effect, but different labels and names to avoid confusion).
* Unified the overlay names in the options menu.

'''Bug fixes'''
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with daily modifiers not being applied in Training Expeditions when species were not randomly generated.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Regrowth Forest Mystery not being applied in Training Expeditions and never appearing in regular games.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with the stats screen in the Smoldering City incorrectly counting game time.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Violent Dusk glade event penalty (from the Giant Stormbird) lasting longer than the storm itself.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Pickled Goods recipe in the Flawless Brewery not having Eggs as a possible ingredient.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Fishmen Lighthouse penalty increasing event working speed instead of decreasing it.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Forsaken Altar not working in Training Expeditions, when the game length was below Prestige.
* ⚡ Fixed an inconsistent border color in the Wine Shortage effect between the Training Expedition UI and the in-game tooltip.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with three-digit population numbers being incorrectly displayed on the species HUD.

* ⚡ Fixed an issue with the negative Bad Reputation effect from killing traders not stacking correctly.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with effect names being duplicated in the Trader Panel (when trade is blocked by stacked effects).
* ⚡ Updated the name of the “+1 to Copper Ore” perk to avoid duplicates.
* ⚡ Fixed multiple typos and errors in Polish.
** Cloudburst Forest Mystery description.
** Work Safety Guide perk description.
** Burnt to a Crisp perk description.
* ⚡ Fixed multiple typos and improved wording in Russian.

* ⚡ Added new ambient sounds to the Smoldering City and the World Map.
* ⚡ Added new variants of the upgrade sound in the Citadel.

* Added a sound effect to the “investigate” button in all glade events.
* Changed a few sounds in the Smoldering City.

* Fixed a typo in the Polish description of the Soft Stems Seasonal Effect.
* Fixed a typo in the Faction entry in the Encyclopedia.

===== Early Access version: 0.40.2 - Training Expeditions =====

Number of changes: 95
Inspired by community: 49%

Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by the community.

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Added a new customizable game mode - Training Expeditions.
* To put it plainly, a Training Expedition is a custom game. When starting one, you can select a biome, species, Forest Mysteries, resources, modifiers, embark bonuses, and game length (among other things).
* All modifiers from the World Map, the Daily Expedition, and Prestige difficulties can be selected when starting a custom game.
* Some modifiers might be contradictory (like Dangerous Lands and Forbidden Lands) and you won’t be stopped from picking them - but beware, they will not work together, so the game will probably only activate one of them (and remove the other one when starting a run).
* You can change how much Reputation is needed to win. There are 4 settings for this:
** 10 points (quick game)
** 14 points (default game)
** 18 points (prestige game)
** 30 points (marathon)
* You can also customize the maximum number of Impatience points. There are 5 settings for this:
** 2 points
** 4 Points
** 14 Points
** 30 Points
* You can also change the speed at which Impatience is automatically generated:
** 0% per minute
** 26% per minute (default)
* You can decide to enable or disable Blightrot, and choose between 5 levels of footprints/corruption (50%, 100%, 200%, 250%, 400%).
* You can choose towns for Trade Routes, but they need to be on the World Map first.
* You can freely choose the Forest Mysteries that will be active in a given game (or leave them to be randomly drawn).
* If you like how a map looks, you can copy/paste its seed into the custom game UI. Seeds only influence glade layout, resource nodes, fertile soil, ore deposits, and events. Changing a custom game’s settings will also influence the map (so a seed will only give you the same result if all the other settings are the same).
* Custom game settings can be saved into so-called templates. Every profile has 6 template slots.
* To unlock Training Expeditions, you will need to buy the Obsidian Archive Level 10 upgrade in the Smoldering City.
* Training Expeditions give no rewards and don’t influence the Blightstorm Cycle.

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Rebalanced the Pottery and Wine order. Instead of building an Artisan and providing barrels, it now requires (drumroll, please) pottery and wine.
* ⚡ Moved the Destroyed Cage of the Warbeast glade event from Dangerous Glades to Forbidden Glades.
* Overheating and Vassal Tax Forest Mysteries were temporarily removed from the game. We found them to be troublesome because of several reasons - lack of proper UI, balancing issues, and potential bugs. We want to take some time and redesign them.
* Removed the Faster Building stat from the Vanguard Spire Level 5 upgrade. Added the Additional Caravan Choice reward instead (moved from the Obsidian Archive Level 10 upgrade).
** We decided to replace this upgrade because the +10% construction speed change was a minimal and boring stat increase. With it out of the way, we feel that every node on the upgrade tree finally has at least one interesting reward, and we can focus on adding more levels in the future (instead of replacing existing ones).
* Removed the Additional Caravan Choice reward from the Obsidian Archive Level 10 upgrade, and added the Training Expedition unlock instead.

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ Improved the wording in the description of shelters and species-specific houses. Instead of saying “number of places: X”, the description now reads “can house X residents”.
* ⚡ Increased the speed at which the camera moves to selected buildings and glade events.
* ⚡ Camp icons in resource node panels are now ordered from advanced to small.
* ⚡ Changed the number color for some Hostility sources in the Hostility of the Forest tooltip (from green to red when the value is 0, so it's clearly visible which sources increase Hostility).
* Updated some Encyclopedia entries with more up-to-date screenshots and videos.
* Changed the icon for the Wet Soil Prestige modifier to avoid duplicates.

===== Early Access version: 0.40.1 - Camps Part 2 =====

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Added multiple layouts to the starting glade.
** The Main Warehouse and the Ancient Hearth will now be positioned differently between games (layouts might somewhat repeat).
** This semi-randomness was added to change up the gameplay a bit in the starting phases of the game, and lead to more interesting town layouts further down the line.
* Added 4 new Cornerstones to the game.
** Zhorg's Secret Ingredient - A mysterious ingredient discovered by the famous chef and businessman Zhorg. Gain 10 Skewers for every 10 Pickled Goods produced.
** Secure Trail - Royal Stormwalkers secured the trail to your settlement. Newcomers will arrive 25% quicker.
** Stormwalker Tax - A joint venture with the Stormwalker Guild can be very profitable in the future. You gain 15 Amber every time a new group of villagers arrives, but you will lose all stored Amber upon choosing this cornerstone.
** Economic Migration - Rumor has it that your settlement is one of the wealthiest in the realm. Newcomers will arrive 15% quicker for every 2 levels of standing you have with other settlements in trade routes.

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Changed the way newcomers arrive at the settlement.
** From now on, newcomers will arrive every 10 minutes (though some effects might influence that).
** The newcomer button will stay on the HUD for good (after the first arrival). You can hover over it to find out when the next group will arrive.
** Newcomer arrivals no longer stack. A new group won't be sent until you accept the previous one.
** Previously, it was possible to simply wait and then accept multiple groups at once with no consequence. We felt that this was not an interesting gameplay decision and it allowed players to postpone problems at no cost.
* ⚡ The Vassal Tax and Overheating Forest Mysteries will no longer last for the entirety of the game. Their negative effects will be removed at the start of the next Storm. You still need to prepare the payment for the next Storm in order not to get a penalty for the next year.
** Because the Vassal Tax penalty now no longer stacks, its effect was increased from 20% to 33%.

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ Added an option to manually set the internal storage in a production building.
** In the storage tab, there is now a slider on the capacity bar.
** Using the slider, you can modify the storage limit - in other words at which the number of stored goods your workers will transport to the Main Warehouse.
** There’s also a new setting in the Options menu - “Save Internal Storage Limits”. Enabling this option will save the internal building storage limits you set and then apply them to any newly constructed building of the same type.
* ⚡ Orders with the objective to build a specific hub level now display the name of the hub level on the HUD overview.
* ⚡ Updated tooltips for all effects that kill villagers (Forest Mysteries, glade events).
** Previously, when hovering over a death notification, it would only give a vague description of what happened (“villager X died of a curse”).
** From now on, when hovering over a death notification, the tooltip will state where the effect came from (for example: “villager X died of a curse (glade event - Ancient Shrine”).
* ⚡ Added a setting to the options menu to set the default fuel types that are supposed to be burned in the Ancient Hearth.

'''Bug fixes'''
⚡ Fixed a bug with the Cursed Royal Woodlands not spawning Copper Ore deposits.

⚡ Changed the name of the negative effect that is applied when the fire in the Ancient Hearth goes down. It was previously named Looming Darkness (same as a generic effect during the storm), and now it’s called No Hope.
⚡ Added information about Forbidden Glade Events to the Ancient Practices perk.
⚡ Fixed an issue with the Workshop and Tinkerer being translated to the same name in Russian.
⚡ Fixed a typo in the Polish localization of the Clear Sky effect.

===== Early Access version: 0.39.2 - Camps Part 1 =====

'''New content and features'''
** ⚡ Revamped the camp system - introduced essential small food camps.
** There are now 3 new camps in the game: the Small Trappers’ Camp, Small Foragers’ Camp, and Small Herbalists’ Camp.
** The new camps are essential buildings - meaning they are always available and don't need to be chosen as blueprints.
** Small camps can only gather small resource nodes. They’re also slower than normal camps.
** To gather large and gigantic nodes, players need normal camps. These can be chosen as blueprint rewards for Reputation, bought from traders, or found in glades. Normal camps are also faster.
** Choosing or buying a normal camp’s blueprint will upgrade its already built small counterpart automatically (and replace the small camp in the construction menu).
** Changed the resource layout in camps to avoid overlapping.
*** Trappers’ Camp - meat, eggs, insects
*** Foragers’ Camp - vegetables, grain, roots
*** Herbalists’ Camp - herbs, berries, mushrooms
** Players still have access to the normal essential camps specialized in building materials: the Stonecutters’ Camp, Woodcutters’ Camp, and Harvesters' Camp.
** The Scavengers’ Camp was removed from the game.
** This change was implemented mainly for two reasons: to allow players to go wider with their production chains and to make small glades a bit more rewarding. At the same time, a very substantial balance overhaul was introduced to glades and resource nodes (more on that in the Balance section below).

===== Early Access version: 0.38.33 - Paths =====

* Fixed an issue with missing villager models in camps found in glades (Encampments, Convicts).
* Fixed an issue with housing need order objectives showing storage indicators in their tooltips.

===== Early Access version: 0.38.31 - Lighthouse =====

Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by the community.

'''New content and features'''
* Added 3 new Glade Events.
* * Fishmen Lighthouse - Once upon a time, there must have been a coast and a harbor here. Now this place is haunted by Fishmen and the waters have withdrawn. An ominous light is coming from the top of the lighthouse.
* * Escaped Convicts - Dangerous convicts from the Smoldering City are hiding in the forest. They somehow managed to free themselves during transport. You can decide their fate - welcome them and employ them in your settlement, or send them back to the Citadel where they will be punished.
* * Destroyed Cage of the Warbeast - A destroyed royal guard camp. It looks as if one of their warbeasts got out and razed the entire encampment to the ground. The beast, usually obedient to its masters, must have been provoked by something.
* Added 2 new decorations.
* * Garden - a 2x2 Aesthetics decoration.
* * Park - a 2x2 Comfort decoration
* Added 4 new Deeds.
* * Apprentice Archaeologist 1 - Win a game with a reconstructed Sealed Spider skeleton in the Scarlet Orchard.
* * Apprentice Archaeologist 2 - Win a game with a reconstructed Sea Serpent skeleton in the Scarlet Orchard.
* * Apprentice Archaeologist 3 - Win a game with a reconstructed Smoldering Scorpion skeleton in the Scarlet Orchard.
* * Master Archaeologist - Win a game with all three skeletons reconstructed in the Scarlet Orchard.
* ⚡ Improved the decoration system.
* * Previously, all decorations would count as 1 when upgrading a hub (so if a Hearth required 4 Harmony decorations, even a big 3x3 altar would only count as 1).
* * From now on, every decoration adds a score to the hub's progress. The score is based on the decoration’s size, so a 1x1 decoration will add 1, a 2x2 will add 4, and so on.
* * At the same time, all converted Glade Events (like the Rain Spirit Totem, Harmony Spirit Altar, etc.) are now moveable.
* * The decoration changes were made because of two main reasons. To give the players who are not into decorating an easier way to progress their hubs, and to boost the overall value of converted Glade Events.
* ⚡ Added 4 new upgrades to the Archaeologist’s Office in the Scarlet Orchard.
* * Ancient Strength - Stone tablets reveal the secret of the ancients' strength. All workers can carry +10 additional items for every 2 Ancient Tablets in the settlement's Warehouses.
* * Forbidden Tools - All metal is permeated with malevolent magic from the forest. Every 2 Hostility levels grant +1 to Simple Tools production. Gain additional Simple Tools every yield (from gathering, farming, or production).
* * Carved in Stone - Secret methods of dealing with threats are engraved in Ancient Tablets. Glade Event working time speed is increased by 10% for every 2 Ancient Tablets in the settlement's Warehouses.
* * Ancient Practices - Archaeologists have learned a lot about a long-lost culture by examining ruins found in glades. All workers get a +10% higher chance of doubling their production for every 2 completed Dangerous Glade Events.

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Rebalanced multiple aspects of the Scarlet Orchard biome (based on the feedback we’ve got after the last update).
* Every upgrade row in the Archaeologist's Office now has 3 options to choose from (instead of the previous 2).

* Added additional rewards for the first and second stage of archaeological discoveries.
* Rebalanced upgrade costs and event requirements.
* ⚡ Lowered the penalty from the Cloudburst Forest Mystery.

* The Resolve penalty now stacks every 60/60/45 seconds instead of 50/40/30 seconds (Pioneer/Veteran/Viceroy).

* * The Forester’s Hut (formerly named “Grove”) can now have 4 workers instead of 2.
* * The Hallowed Small Farm can now produce Plant Fiber instead of Crystalized Dew.
* * Rebalanced a few orders.
* * Trade Connections - removed the Value Added Tax perk from rewards, added new villagers.

* Increased the maximum fuel capacity of Hearths - they now have a burning time cap of 3 minutes and will request fuel after reaching the 1-minute threshold.
* Baptism of Fire now reduces Hostility every 3 burned Blightrot Cysts (instead of every 2).

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ Changed how settings in the Woodcutters’ Camp work to avoid confusion. From now on, every Woodcutters’ Camp can have 4 different modes.
* Default - woodcutters cut trees normally.
* Only Marked Trees - woodcutters only cut marked trees.
* Avoid Glades - woodcutters cut trees normally, but don’t open glades (even if the player marks trees leading to a glade).
* Avoid Glades (except marked) - woodcutters cut trees normally, but open glades only if the trees leading up to them are marked.

* The default mode can be set in the options menu.
* ⚡ The camera can now be moved using the RMB by default.

* ⚡ Added a “stored” number to all tooltips tied to resources (for example in order objectives, event rewards, and so on).
* ⚡ Recipes in building tooltips are now displayed as lists, and not plain text.
* ⚡ Changed how achievements are unlocked. They now trigger right away (after a finished run), and not when claiming rewards for them in the Smoldering City.
* ⚡ Added a new name and description to the effect applied to all games on Settler difficulty.
* The effect is called Settler’s Luck and its description now correctly states that it gives a 35% chance of villagers not consuming food during a break.
* ⚡ Changed the wording in the Ancient Ways perk description. It now correctly states that the 50% bonus influences production yields.

* ⚡ Added an option to the settings menu to have “automatically claim finished trade routes” on by default.

* This change is intended as a way of teaching new players that resources in events can be changed (like in recipes).
* ⚡ Added information about the currently used GPU to the options menu.
* Some players have reported that their PC is reaching high temperatures when playing the game, and we’ve found out that some occurrences of this issue might be caused by the OS running the game on the wrong GPU.
* The game itself can’t change the active GPU, but this entry in the options menu should at least give players some information and allow them to adjust their system settings based on it.
* ⚡ Changed the welcome screen for players who bought the game after playing the demo. The message now appears in the main menu and should be a lot clearer (as opposed to the previously pop-up that appeared in the World Map screen).
* ⚡ Updated notification sounds in the game. Sound effects for different alerts should now be different based on the severity of the event that triggered them.
* ⚡ Improved the wording in the Forsaken Gods Temple’s description.
* ⚡ Improved the wording in the Cloudburst Forest Mystery to more clearly state when the effect starts.

'''New content and features'''
* Revamped the entire Scarlet Orchard biome.
* The biome is themed around archaeology and exploration. Every Scarlet Orchard map has archaeological discoveries hidden in its glades.

* Resource nodes can now be selected. Selecting a node opens up a UI panel on the side.  
* * In the node UI panel, you can assign priorities and quickly select a camp to build (the UI automatically shows blueprints compatible with the selected node). 
* * Nodes with higher priority are gathered first. After they are depleted, workers move on to lower priority nodes. Nodes with the same priority are gathered alternatingly 
* * Recipe priority in camps takes precedence over node priority.
* ⚡ Cleaned up some UI elements in regards to priorities.
* * Recipes can be assigned priorities from 0 to 3.

* ⚡ Added a special marker to ingredient slots where more than one resource is selected.
* ⚡ Added a tooltip for ingredient slots with multiple resources selected. The tooltip shows which goods are used in the slot. This tooltip can be turned on in the options menu (it’s off by default).

===== Early Access version: 0.32.1R - Cursed Battlefield =====

Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by community.

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Reworked the Cursed Royal Woodlands biome. 
* All glades in the Cursed Royal Woodlands are now the same size. Dangerous and Forbidden Glades are not marked.
* Added a new mechanic to the Cursed Royal Woodlands – Restless Spirits.
* Restless Spirits are similar to Glade Events but can appear alongside them and are not limited to only Dangerous and Forbidden Glades. They will ask the player for small favors (so-called Requests) or specific goods. 
* There are calm and angry spirits. The calm ones will simply disappear if their wish isn’t granted. The angry ones will take vengeance.
* After fulfilling a spirit’s request, it will leave a reward chest behind.
* Restless Spirits’ requests can range from harmless busy work (like rebuilding a ruin) to morally ambiguous tasks (like starving villagers or growing Blightrot).
* There are 30 unique Restless Spirits in the game, each with unique animations and a little bit of lore. Here are a few examples:
* * Ghost of a Blight Fighter Captain
* * Ghost of a Suppressed Rebel
* * Ghost of a Hooded Knight
* * Ghost of a Lizard General
* The Cursed Royal Woodlands biome will now appear more frequently on the World Map and may even spawn more than just one tile in a given place (although it’s still rarer than other biomes).
* ⚡ Added a new Glade Event.
* * Harmony Spirit Altar – An old altar found in the wilds. The ancient language carved in the stone proclaims: “Light a fire at the altar to gain the blessing of the Spirit of Harmony”.
* Added 5 new Cornerstones:
* * Exploration Training – Rigorous training makes scouts exceptionally efficient. Every 5 villagers with the need for Bloodthirst fulfilled increase the chance of bringing back double the number of goods from Events by +20%.
* * Families Gratitude – Relatives of your villagers send gifts for treating their family members well. Get 40 Waterskins for every full Reputation Point obtained through high resolve.
* * Old Fedora Hat – An old inscription on the bottom of the hat says: “Fortune and glory”. Increases the chance of bringing back double the number of goods from Glade Events by 50%.
* * Firelink Ritual – There is nothing the Forest hates more than fire. Every 5 villagers with the need for Religion fulfilled decreases Hostility by -25.
* * Woodcutter’s Prayer – If you want to take, you must first give. +1 to Wood production. Lose all stored fuel upon picking this Cornerstone.

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Rebalanced numerous Cornerstones. There were quite a few perks that were too overpowered and game-defining, and there were also some that were very underwhelming. We tried to even them out a bit and allow for more valid choices when picking Cornerstones. And this time we didn’t limit ourselves to just number adjustments (some perks have undergone bigger changes, like the removal of a drawback or a mechanical change).
* ⚡ Lowered the goods required to make Flour for all recipe grades:
* * Flour (⭐) – 8 Grain/Roots/Mushrooms instead of 10.
* * Flour (⭐⭐) – 7 Grain/Roots/Mushrooms instead of 8.
* * Flour (⭐⭐⭐) – 5 Grain/Roots/Mushrooms instead of 6.
* ⚡ Lowered the number of goods required to make Pickled Goods for all recipe grades:
* * Pickled Goods (⭕) – 7 Vegetables/Roots/Mushrooms/Berries instead of 8.
* * Pickled Goods (⭐) – 6 Vegetables/Roots/Mushrooms/Berries instead of 7.
* * Pickled Goods (⭐⭐) – 5 Vegetables/Roots/Mushrooms/Berries instead of 6.
* * Pickled Goods (⭐⭐⭐) – 4 Vegetables/Roots/Mushrooms/Berries instead of 5.
* Increased the Resolve bonus from Pickled Goods from +6 Resolve to +8.
* Lowered the Resolve bonus from Skewers from +6 to +5.
* Slightly decreased the trade value of Flour.
* Lowered the Resolve penalty for prohibiting the consumption of Skewers.
* If the good is available in the Storage: -2 > -1
* If the good is available in the Storage and another species is eating it: -4 > -3
* The Resisting Flora Forest Mystery (Meat from Trees during the Storm) has been removed. It was too powerful and wasn’t really a negative effect. We might bring it back in the future as a positive modifier though (once we get into properly balancing all the Mysteries).
* Removed 5 Cornerstones from the game:
* * Equality – Cost of rerolling blueprints is lower by 10, but Favoring is disabled.
* * Blessed Flames – Blight Fighters use the Hearth’s Holy Flame to ignite their flamethrowers. Burning a Blightrot Cyst takes 5 seconds less, but the Hearth’s Corruption grows 30% faster.
* * Meat Delivery Line – 5 Meat per minute.
* * Influential Friends – Gain 1 Cornerstone Reroll Charge for every 1 level of Standing with other settlements in Trade Routes. (the bonus is added retroactively)
* * Shorter Torment – The Storm’s duration is reduced by 33% in exchange for 33% more fuel consumption in the Hearth. (also removed as a level up reward, replaced by Firelink Ritual)
* * The Ancient Ways effect in the Clan Hall service building (boosting camp production) no longer affects Woodcutters’ Camps. The tooltip now also mentions that exception.
* Living Matter clone no longer counts as a Glade Event

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ Added a storaged goods counter to sacrifice tooltips in the Hearth.
* ⚡ Added an option to forbid the consumption of food outside of a species’ preferences. You can now prevent starving villagers from eating other species’ favorite dishes.

* ⚡ Fixed a bug with Blight Fighters getting stuck on the map’s edge.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Ruined Settlement Modifier spawning near the Marshlands.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Brightstorm animation in the World Map playing on a zoomed-out screen.
* ⚡ Fixed a typo in the Firekeeper’s Prayer Cornerstone. The description said fuel would burn faster, but in reality, it burned slower. 
* ⚡ Fixed the progress indicator in the Stormforged version of the Urban Planning Cornerstone.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with some Orders giving perks to Homestead production.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Open Vault’s Working Effect not affecting the Harvesters’ Camp.
* Fixed a rare bug with some clicks registering even when dragging the mouse.
* Fixed bug with Stormforged Cornerstones being offered as Event rewards in some cases.
* Fixed a bug with the Queen’s Advisor name not being translated to languages other than English.

===== Early Access version: 0.31.3R - Stormbird =====
Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by community.

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Added the World Map Tutorial to the game. 
* The World Map tutorial will start automatically after beating the second tutorial game.
* The tutorial is a sequence of dialogue boxes guiding the player through the most important elements of the meta progress layer of the game – the World Map, Citadel Resources, Upgrades, Cycles, Embark mechanics, etc.
* With the tutorial, we also introduced a lot of UX and UI changes to make the entire meta layer of the game less confusing for new players. The exact details are listed in the UX/UI improvements section of this changelog. 
* ⚡ Added 1 new Glade Event.
* Giant Stormbird – A never-before encountered Stormbird subspecies. She is fiercely guarding her nest. The clouds around the settlement begin to darken.
* ⚡ Added 4 new pages to the Atlas. The first two appear as “learn more” notifications once the feature tied to them has been unlocked in the Smoldering City. The rest appears right after the tutorial.
* * Factions and Influence
* * Consumption Control
* * Modifiers and Treasure
* * Useful Shortcuts
* Added 5 starter Deeds, dedicated to new players.
* * First Real Expedition – win a Normal game on the Royal Woodlands.
* * Taking Action – solve 5 Glade Events in one game.
* * Discovery 1 – discover 10 Glades.
* * Orders from the Queen 1 – complete 10 Orders.
* * Rolling in Wealth 1 – sell goods worth 50 Amber.

* * Factions are now unlocked after buying the Pioneers’ Gate Level 4 upgrade. 
* * With the Faction unlock, you also get access to the Influence Ranking and rewards at the end of each Cycle.
* * After unlocking Factions, a “read more” alert appears on the World Map. Clicking on it will open the Atlas on the entry explaining the mechanic.

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Reworked the Sacrifice mechanic in the Ancient Hearth. 
* Sacrificing was originally intended to be a way of combating the threats you encounter when building a settlement. And although in the beginning it worked well (it’s one of the oldest mechanics in the game), we weren’t really happy with it – mainly because it was a one-and-done solution to a variety of problems, and was easily exploited to speedrun the game. We understand that some players really like this feature in its current form, but we feel that it’s necessary to change it for the long-term health of the game (and we will keep improving it with your feedback).
* Sacrificing goods in the Ancient Hearth no longer increases Resolve. Instead, each fuel type now provides a different bonus to the settlement.
* All sacrifices now stack up to 3 times. For example, you can sacrifice wood at a rate of 120 units per minute for a total of -150 Hostility.
* Because of this change, all Orders and Glade Events tied to Resolve have been rebalanced (the exact details are listed below, in separate subsections of this changelog).
* ⚡ The Blightrot mechanic has been removed from Normal and Hard. Blightrot will now be present only in higher difficulties, from Very Hard upwards. 
* ⚡ The Bandit Camp Modifier now also removed the Trading Post from the building roster (in addition to blocking trade). 
* ⚡ Removed the Unfavorable Weather Prestige Modifier (no positive Forest Mysteries) from Prestige 16, and replaced it with Famine Outbreaks (stronger hunger penalty). 
* ⚡ All recipes in the Field Kitchen have been buffed.  
* * Production times for all recipes have been decreased from 120 seconds to 90 seconds.  
* * Jerky now requires 8 Meat (or equivalent) instead of 10.   
* * Pickled Goods now require 8 Vegetables (or equivalent) instead of 10. 
* ⚡ Moving unconstructed movable buildings is now free.
* ⚡ Changed the way the Urban Planning Cornerstone works. Previously, it would add housing spots based on hub levels. Now, it adds 1 housing spot for every 10 completed Trade Routes. 
* ⚡ Temporarily disabled the Ancient Stabilizer Cornerstone (and its Stormforge version). It will be back once we redesign it.
* Adjusted some orders in the first and second tutorial maps (Woodcutters’ Camps, Brewing Ale, Smokehouse, First Yield). They now require the player to make goods instead of delivering them.
* Extended the time limit for all Resolve-based Timed Orders. It’s now 7 minutes instead of 4.
* Rebalanced some Resolve-based effects in Glade Events to better reflect the recent changes to the sacrifice mechanic.
* * Fallen Brethren (Fallen Villagers Glade Events) – decreased the Resolve penalty from 8/10/12/14 to 6/8/10/12.
* * Gate Presence (Dark Gate) – decreased the Resolve penalty from 8/10/12/14 to 4/6/8/10.
* * Stonetooth Swarm (Stonetooth Termite Burrow) – decreased the Resolve penalty from 7/8/9/10 to 5/6/7/8.
* * Fear of the Wilds (Small Destroyed Caravan) – decreased the Resolve penalty from 5/6/7/8 to 3/4/5/6.
* * Fear of the Wilds (Large Destroyed Caravan) – decreased the Resolve penalty from 7/8/9/10 to 5/6/7/8.
* Rebalanced multiple Orders tied to Resolve. We decided to lower their requirements across the board (with a few exceptions) and adjust the values to the sacrifice mechanic changes. 
* * The Guild – lowered the Resolve requirement from 15/19/23 to 16/18/20.
* * The Flock – lowered the Resolve requirement from 10/14/18 to 10/13/15.
* * The Clan – lowered the Resolve requirement from 10/14/18 to 10/13/15.
* * People’s Resolve – lowered the Resolve requirement from 20/24/28 to 20/22/25.
* * Joyful Beavers – changed the Resolve requirement from 15/19/23 to 18/20/22.

* * Joyful Humans – changed the Resolve requirement from 20/24/28 to 23/25/27.
* * Joyful Lizards – changed the Resolve requirement from 10/14/18 to 13/15/17.
* * Happy Beavers – lowered the Resolve requirement from 20/24/28 to 20/22/24.
* * Happy Harpies – lowered the Resolve requirement from 14/18/22 to 14/16/18.
* * Happy Humans – lowered the Resolve requirement from 24/28/32 to 24/26/28.
* * Happy Lizards – lowered the Resolve requirement from 14/18/22 to 14/16/18.
* * Beaver Resolve – lowered the Resolve requirement from 24/28/32 to 22/26/30.

* * Lizard Resolve – lowered the Resolve requirement from 18/22/26 to 16/20/24.
* The Prestige Modifier Hearth Defect sacrifice rate penalty has been decreased from 50% to 35%.
* Crystalized Dew recipe now requires an additional type of good: Oil or Pigment. Oil has been replaced by Vegetables in the main ingredient slot.
* Reshuffled some upgrades in the Smoldering City.
* * Pioneers’ Gate Level 1 – removed the Clay and Stone Embark Bonuses, added +1 Embark Points instead. 
* * Pioneers’ Gate Level 4 – removed +1 Embark Point, added Factions Unlock instead. 
* * Brass Forge Level 1 – removed Carrying Capacity +1, added Clay and Stone Embark Bonuses instead.
* Rebalanced all effects and perks influencing working time in Glade Events.
* * All effects of this type now work differently. Previously, they simply increased or decreased an Event’s working time, but now they change the speed at which Scouts are working.
* * This change might be confusing and probably seems like just a wording issue, so here’s the math (on a hypothetical effect with a 20% reduction to a 240 seconds-long working time):
* * Previously: 240 * 0,8 = 192 seconds
* * Now: 240 * (1/1,2) = 200 seconds
* As you can see, the difference isn’t that big, but the crucial part is how we apply the percentage to the working time. Thanks to the new approach, we can allow for 200% or even 300% changes to working time, without having to worry about ever hitting 0 seconds. Of course, the higher the value, the more diminishing returns you’ll get, but it’s still better than clamping at 10% after getting just three or four perks. 
* * Experienced Scout – Scouts now work 40% faster instead of 30% faster.
* * Procrastination – Scouts now work 33% slower instead of 50% slower.
* * Profitable Caution – Scouts now work 33% slower instead of 50% slower.
* * Firekeeper’s Prayer – Scouts now work 30% faster instead of 25% faster.
* Increased the requirements for some early Deeds. 
* Orders from the Queen 2 – now requires finishing 30 Orders instead of 20.  
* Discovery 2 – now requires discovering 30 Glades instead of 20.

* All descriptions for buffs and debuffs triggered by conditional Forest Mysteries (like Fading, Energized, Distracted, etc.) have been updated to better reflect their effects.

* Any mention of Trade Routes in World Map has been hidden for players who haven’t yet unlocked the feature in the Smoldering City.

Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by community.

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Added a new type of Cornerstone – the Wildcard. Upon pickup, this perk will allow the player to choose any blueprint they want (from all unlocked blueprints).
* For now, there are three instances of this perk: Smuggler’s Visit (yearly Cornerstone), Contraband (rare perk sold by some traders), and Summoned Smuggler (Stormforged perk sold by the Forsaken Priestess in the Altar).
* Upon pickup, the player is given a Wildcard charge. This looks just like a normal blueprint pick on the HUD and is activated by clicking the crown icon next to the Reputation Bar.
* Wildcard blueprints are brought to the settlement by a special new NPC – the Smuggler. Can you guess who this character is based on?
* Added 2 new Cornerstones.
* * Precious Antiques – You signed a special agreement with the Guild. Traders will have 1 more Cornerstone for sale, but Travel Cost in Trade Routes is increased by 1.

* All games (regardless of difficulty) now have an Impatience limit of 14 points.
* The speed at which high Resolve generates Reputation is ~35% slower.
* Adjusted building choices based on the new Reputation thresholds. The blueprint from the 6th point was moved to the 7th, and the subsequent choices were spaced out by more evenly.
* Due to this change, every game will now award ~16% more experience points. 
* ⚡ Rebalanced all effects and perks influencing resource sacrifice in the Hearth.
* All effects of this type now work differently. Previously, they lowered the sacrifice cost, and now they prolong the burning time of sacrificed goods. 
* This change was done to prevent exploits and balance issues (as it was easy to get very close to almost 0 sacrifice cost).
* Sacrament of the Flame – There could be nothing more sacred than a flame in a world soaked in rain. Goods sacrificed in the Ancient Hearth burn 25% longer. 
* * Hearth Defect – The Ancient Hearth seems to have a defect. No matter how hard the Firekeeper tries, sacrificed resources burn 50% shorter. 
* * Fiery Wrath – Resources you sacrifice in the Ancient Hearth burn 3% longer for every Impatience Point you have.
* * Firekeeper’s Secret Techniques (Stormforged) – An old manuscript detailing forgotten burning rites. Fuel burns 33% longer in Hearths. Resources you sacrifice in the Ancient Hearth burn 25% longer. 
* * Firekeeper’s Prayer – Time spent working on Glade Events is decreased by 25%, but resources you sacrifice in the Ancient Hearth burn 25% shorter.
* ⚡ Rebalanced Upgrade prices in the Citadel. Some of you correctly noted that there was a certain imbalance in how many Artifacts are available, and how much they are needed to progress through the game. We decided to correct that. The overall sum of resources needed has not changed (+/- 3%), but the types of resources needed are now spread more evenly and fairly.
* ⚡ Rebalanced some World Map Modifiers – how often they spawn, how many resources they give, and how far from the Citadel they can appear.  
* Ruined Settlement – increased rewards from 2 to 3 Machinery.  
* Haunted Forest – increased the spawn chance.  
* Statue of the Forefathers – increased rewards from 3 Machinery and 3 Artifacts to 4 Machinery and 4 Artifacts.

* ⚡ Added additional information to the Atlas about how burned Cysts remove Corruption.
* ⚡ Improved the way resources are displayed for each biome (in the Embark Window and under the ESC menu). 
* The resource summary is now divided into “natural resources” and “trees”.
* The arrow icons on the resources were removed, as they were causing more confusion than helping.
* ⚡ Rebuilt ruins are now taken into account by the recipe comparison tooltip when selecting new blueprints.
* ⚡ Added an alert that appears when a Timed Order is ready to be completed. 
* ⚡ Added an alert to flooding events – for example when a Rain Spirit Totem triggers and removes all roads in the settlement. 
* ⚡ Added the option to prioritize construction for roads and farm fields (they can now be selected like all other construction sites).
* ⚡ Added the option to set a construction priority to all buildings of a given type (e.g. all paths) by holding Shift when pressing the +/- arrow buttons in the building’s UI.

===== Early Access version: 0.29.2R - Blight Fighter =====
Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by community.

'''New content and features'''
* Added a new Blight mechanic to all production buildings. 
* Production buildings in Against the Storm use Rainpunk technology to help them produce goods. Rainpunk makes use of the everlasting rain’s extraordinary properties, but it also comes with a caveat – it spawns Blightrot.
* Every recipe in production buildings has something called a Blightrot Footprint. This parameter indicates how much pollution is emitted when creating a product. The Blightrot Footprint grade is visible in the recipes panel, next to the star rating. 
* Each completed production cycle increases the Blightrot level of a building (based on the Blightrot Footprint).
* When the Blightrot level reaches certain thresholds, Blightrot Cysts will spawn on the building.
* At first, Blightrot Cysts are harmless. They even give some beneficial effects to the workers assigned to a building (more production, additional goods). But once the Storm starts, they open up and corrupt the Ancient Hearth.
* The Ancient Hearth now has something called resistance (basically HP). Once the Corruption process begins, a progress bar will appear on the Hearth and grow based on how many Cysts are open (each Cyst gives +X to Corruption per minute).
* If the Corruption amount exceeds the Hearth’s resistance (1000 by default), a negative effect will trigger, killing 3 villagers. The process then repeats until the Storm ends.
* To combat the threat of the Blightrot, you have to build Blight Posts. There, you can produce Purging Fire – a special resource dedicated to burning Blightrot Cysts.
* Blightrot is only vulnerable during the Storm, so this is when Blight Fighters working in the Blight Post take the Purging Fire they made earlier and walk around the settlement, burning down Cysts.
* Each burned Cyst stops corrupting the Ancient Hearth and subtracts 50 points of Corruption once it’s removed. 
* Blightrot Cysts that were not burned during the Storm become dormant at the beginning of Drizzle. They will open up again during the next Storm.
* Blight Fighters will go back to the Blight Post to restock on Purging Fire, but you can also build Hydrants to shorten the travel distance. Hydrants share storage with Blight Posts.
* The Hearth’s resistance can be increased by leveling up hubs in the settlement.
* The Hearth and all production buildings now have an additional tab dedicated to Blightrot. There you can see a summary of the effects, the rate of corruption, and additional explanations.  
* The Blight doesn’t influence gathering camps, houses, service buildings, the trading post, decorations, farms, greenhouses, and clay pits.
* Added two new types of resources 
* * Sea Marrow – serves as a fuel type in both the Hearth and production recipes. Its deposits can be found in the Royal Woodlands and Scarlet Orchard. 
* * Purging Fire – a specialized good used for burning Blightrot Cysts. 
* Added 6 new perks related to the Blight system:
* * Blessed Flames – Blight Fighters use the Hearth’s Holy Flame to ignite their flamethrowers. Burning a Blightrot Cyst takes 5 seconds less, but the Hearth’s Corruption grows 30% faster.
* * Burnt to a Crisp – Gain 20 Coal for every 3 burned Blightrot Cysts.
* * Baptism of Fire – Every 2 burnt Blightrot Cysts lower Hostility by -10. Sacrificing resources in the Hearth is blocked while it’s being corrupted.
* * Golden Marrow – Some fossils contain valuable surprises. Gain 2 Amber for every 20 Sea Marrow produced.
* * Blight Extractor – A curious invention used for extracting Amber from Blightrot Cysts. Every completely infected building (100% Blightrot) generates 3 Amber per minute, but also adds +5 Hostility.
* * Firekeeper’s Armor – Allows Firekeepers to combat Corruption more efficiently. The Ancient Hearth’s Corruption progresses 10% slower.
* Added a new type of gathering camp – the Harvesters’ Camp. It collects Plant Fiber and Reeds (previously collected by the Scavengers’ Camp). 
* Added two new essential buildings tied to the Blight system
* * Blight Post – a building producing Purging Fire (the resource used to fight Blightrot) and stationing Blight Fighters who burn Cysts during the Storm. 
* * Hydrant – a small (1×1) fuel stockpile connected to the Blight Post. Blight Fighters will use this to restock their supply of Purging Fire. 
* Added 2 new Prestige levels. There is now a grand total of 20 levels to progress through. The new Prestige difficulty effects are:
* * Sinister Blight (Prestige 2) – The Blightrot’s impact is stronger. Cyst generation rate is increased by +100% and Hearth Corruption rate is +50% higher than normal.
* * Direful Blight (Prestige 10) – The Blightrot’s impact is significantly stronger. Cyst generation rate is increased by +150% and Hearth Corruption rate is +100% higher than normal.
* Added 2 new Deeds tied to the new Prestige levels.

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Increased the amount of Parts at the start of each settlement.
* ⚡ Training Gear recipes will now be influenced by all metal production effects (like Corrosive Rainfall). 
* ⚡ Pack of Trade Goods recipes will no longer be influenced by metal production effects.
* ⚡ The Dangerous Lands and Forbidden Lands modifiers will no longer spawn near the Marshlands due to them conflicting with the unique mechanic of this biome. 
* Changed the unique biome effect for the Royal Woodlands. Instead of speeding up farming, Gift of the Woodlands now causes trees to yield more Wood with each production cycle.
* Scavengers’ Camp now collects Eggs and Roots (instead of Plant Fiber and Reeds).
* Removed Roots from the Stonecutters’ Camp. It now collects Sea Marrow instead.
* Renamed the Blightrot Cyst Glade Event to Living Matter. The effects are unchanged (aside from names and some descriptions).
* Added the new resource, Sea Marrow, to multiple events, orders, and to all recipes using some type of fuel. Also added Purging Fire to some order and event rewards. 
* Added the option to sacrifice Sea Marrow in the Ancient Hearth.
* Replaced Planks with Sea Marrow in the Hearth’s Allowed Fuel.
* Increased the construction time of the Forsaken Altar.
* Added a chance to bring Parts to the settlement by two traders: Old Farluf and Xiadani Stormfeather.
* Reshuffled some Prestige modifiers due to the addition of the two new Blightrot effects. All effects were basically moved up by 1 or 2 slots to account for Sinister Blight and Direful Blight on Prestige 2 and Prestige 10.
* The Leviathan in the Marshlands (the almost infinite Meat deposit found in Forbidden Glades) now has a chance of dropping Sea Marrow instead of Coal.

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ Changed the “Constrain Cursor” option in the settings menu to “Constrain cursor to window”.
* ⚡ Added a warning to blueprint choices when a building is given as a reward from an Order the player picked. 
* Added a new entry to the Atlas describing how Blightrot works.
* Added a new overlay showing a global summary of Corruption levels in the settlement. You can activate it by pressing the [Z] key by default. 
* Added a Blight Footprint marker to recipes in the Atlas.
* Added an alert that warns the player about a very high Blightrot level. It appears when there is enough Corruption to trigger the Hearth’s negative effect at least once during the next Storm (there’s also a dedicated checkbox for this in the settings window, as with every alert in the game).
* Added a “allow burning cysts” checkbox to building panels. It’s on by default, but if you want a certain building to stay infected, you can toggle it off.
* Added the option to re-open the “updates” popup in the main menu by clicking on the magnifying glass icon on the news panel.

'''Bug fixes'''
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with some newly created profiles not being saved correctly.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with Impatience not being added when calling a trader after winning a game.

'''Other'''
* We updated the game’s rendering pipeline. There shouldn’t be a very stark difference when it comes to the visual fidelity, but we finally added more real-time lighting to the scene and readjusted post processes in all seasons in all biomes (and we even added some bloom in one or two places). Overall, lights and shadows should now look more natural. This change will allow us to make more visually pleasing environments in the future (glowing lamp decorations finally someday, maybe?).

Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by community.

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Added a new hub system to the game.
* Every Hearth now has a radius around it and a new section in its UI, called “HUB”.
* Hearth radiuses can’t overlap. You won’t be able to build Makeshift Hearths too close to other Hearths.
* Houses now need to be built within a Hearth’s radius. If a house is placed too far away from a Hearth, no villagers will move in. If the fire in a Hearth goes out, homes in its radius will be deserted.
* Hubs can be upgraded by meeting requirements described in the “HUB” section of a Hearth. These requirements are all based on constructing specific types of buildings within a Heart’s radius (homes, decorations, service buildings). 
* There are 3 different hub levels, and each one gives unique bonuses.
* Each hub level changes the visual representation of the Main Hearth and Makeshift Hearths. At level 0, they start off with almost no additional elements, and with each gained level, new assets are added to the building (fences, crates, barrels, pipes, etc.).
* Decorations are now divided into three categories: Comfort, Aesthetic, and Harmony. Different amounts of each tier of decorations are needed to progress hubs.
* Decoration tiers are indicated by a colored frame in the construction menu and a keyword (Comfort, Aesthetics, Harmony) in a decoration’s tooltip.
* Some events found in Glades (like lore tablets and converted totems) count as decorations and will also influence a hub’s level.
* Villagers once again fulfill their needs at the closest Hearth (even if their home is in another hub).

'''Balance'''

* Sacrificial Rituals – An ancient ritual. Ruthless but effective. The Storm is 33% shorter, but 1 villager is killed after each Clearance.

* * Level 5 – Generous Gifts
* * Level 6 – Frequent Caravans

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ Increased the number of item slots in the Trader Panel. There should no longer be issues with goods overflowing the UI.
* ⚡ Added a “What’s new” popup when starting the game for the first time after an update. This popup briefly describes what was added and links to our website for more info. You can also use the arrow buttons next to the patch name to learn more about previous updates.
* ⚡ Added an option in the settings panel to turn on an FPS counter.
* ⚡ Added an option to turn VSync on or off in the settings panel.

* Fixed a bug with some alerts overlapping on the HUD. 
* Fixed a bug which caused the production indicator around worker portraits to sometimes freeze in place. 
* Fixed a bug with some decorations sticking out of the ground when unconstructed.

'''Other'''
* Lowered the saturation and brightness of all textures used in Beaver architecture. From now on they should better fit in with the rest of the assets in the game.

===== Early Access version: 0.27.4R =====
* Fixed a bug that made it impossible to start a new game after finishing a Cycle.

===== Early Access version: 0.27.3R =====

===== Early Access version: 0.27.1R - Homecoming =====
Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by community.

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Changed the way villager routines work. Villagers will now fulfill their needs in their homes.
* During a break, villagers will return to their homes to rest, eat, get clothing, and fulfill their needs. 
* Villagers are now assigned to houses based on two main factors: proximity to their workplace and preference. They will prioritize the closest home, but choose a more distant species-specific house over a closer Shelter.
* Housing spots are automatically rearranged if a building is moved or workers are switched around in a workshop. The game automatically tries to find the best housing spots for villagers.
* Housing spots are not rearranged for builders and scouts each time they are assigned to a new event/construction site, as this would introduce a lot of noise to the mechanic (plus, scouts don’t really rest when working on an event).
* All houses are now movable, and moving a house now costs 5 Wood. We decided on this because our initial tests showed that there was some sort of decision paralysis when placing houses and workshops in the early stages of the game. It’s impossible to predict how the late-game layout and blueprint roster will look like, so forcing players to commit to a permanent house placement early on felt wrong.
* The House UI now displays an inhabitant’s workplace beneath their portrait. Hovering over it will show a tooltip with the exact distance. Clicking on it will move the camera to the building the inhabitant works at.
* If a house is placed too far away from a workplace, a warning icon will appear above it (and next to the icon of the inhabitant in the Building Panel). The exact distance for this warning can be tuned in the Settings Window (the alert can also be disabled altogether).
* Homeless villagers will still go to the Hearth and fulfill their needs there. Builders (workers not assigned to any building) will also gather around the Hearth. 
* We are aware that this change might reduce the Makeshift Heart’s role a bit, but rest assured – we will improve this mechanic in the future. For starters, we have plans to somehow tie Hearth to houses mechanically (more details will come soon).
* ⚡ Added two new types of Citadel Upgrades – Town Vision Range and Embark Range. The already existing Embark Range was renamed to Citadel Vision Range, as it only influenced the amount of fields unveiled by the Smoldering City at the start of a Cycle. 
* * More Town Vision Range – Your towns unveil more of the World Map.
* * Embark Range – You can venture one field further on the World Map.
* * Added 19 new Cornerstones:
* * Hidden Reward – Gain 1 Ancient Tablet for every 2 Glade Events Solved.
* * Calming the Forest – Every 2 solved dangerous Events lower Hostility by 50.
* * Forest Mitigation – Each solved Glade Event lowers Hostility by 10.
* * Deserted Caravans – Global production is 30% faster but trading is unavailable.
* * Without Restrictions – Villagers have a 10% chance for bonus yields from production, but Consumption Control is disabled.
* * Orderly Storage – All buildings have their storage capacity increased by 10.
* * Tightened Belt – Travel Cost in Trade Routes is reduced by 1. Doesn’t apply to Routes already in progress. This effect scales with quantity.
* * Experienced Scout – Scouts can open chests 30% faster.
* * Friendly Relations – Gain +1 to Global Resolve for every 3 levels of Standing with other settlements in Trade Routes.
* * Well-rested Workers – Just. The. Right. Amount. Villagers with the Leisure need fulfilled have a +10% chance for double yields.
* * Enhanced Blueprints – Builders construct buildings 50% faster.
* * Surprise Child – Gain 1 Lizard for every 25 Eggs produced.
* * Chicken or Egg? – Gain 1 Harpy for every 25 Eggs produced.
* * Shorter Torment – The Storm’s duration is reduced by 33% in exchange for 33% more fuel consumption in the Hearth.
* * Crowded Houses – All houses have 1 more place, but break time for all villagers is increased by 25%.
* * Peasant Supplies – Receive 10 Packs of Provisions for every 10 villagers in town.
* * Deep Pocket – Receive 10 Amber for every 5 completed Trade Routes.
* * Equality – Cost of rerolling blueprints is lower by 10, but Favoring is disabled.
* * Profitable Caution – Scouts work 50% longer on Dangerous Glade Events but have a 50% chance of bringing back double the amount of goods.
* Added 15 new Deeds, all tied to the new World Map Modifiers added in the last update.
* Added a new World Map modifier – the Ruined Armory. Playing next to it will prevent villagers from dying when attacking a Trader.

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Reshufled some of the Upgrades in the Smoldering City. 
* We want to slowly move away from stat increases and focus more on interesting gameplay tools. That’s why we removed one Farming Speed Increase and added more embark range on the map. 
* At the same time, we removed one of two Citadel Vision Increase Upgrades, as it made the whole map seem too “small”. Instead, we decided to introduce an upgrade that unveils more of the map when building a town.
* ⚡ Changed the way the Embark Range is calculated when starting from the Smoldering City. Previously, we counted the first circle of hexes around the Citadel as traversed distance, but this was wrong (this space is not playable, as it’s occupied by the mountain). From now on we count the Embark Range from the edge of the Smoldering City. 
* ⚡ Rebalanced a few starting Orders (from the first 3 slots in each game):
* * Botanist – added the objective for building a Plantation, adjusted the RNG of the Order to appear only if the building was chosen in a given game. 
* * Farm Life – added the objective for building a Small Farm, adjusted the RNG of the Order to appear only if the building was chosen in a given game.
* * Foragers’ Camp – added the objective for collecting Insects, adjusted the RNG of the Order to appear only if the building was chosen in a given game.
* * Garden Life – added the objective for building a Herb Garden, adjusted the RNG of the Order to appear only if the building was chosen in a given game.
* * Herbalist – added the objective for collecting Mushrooms, adjusted the RNG of the Order to appear only if the building was chosen in a given game.
* * Hunters – added the objective for collecting Eggs, adjusted the RNG of the Order to appear only if the building was chosen in a given game.
* ⚡ Extended the duration of the Need for Timber Timed Order from 2 minutes to 4 minutes.
* Added 3 existing perks to level up rewards:
* * Profitable Caution – level 14
* * Tightened Belt – level 15
* * Deep Pocket – level 16
* Moving farms (Small Farm, Plantation, Herb Garden, Grove) now costs 1 Plank. Moving the Homestead costs 5 Planks.
* Increased the cost of building a Shelter from 5 to 10 Wood.
* Shortened the time requirement for repairing buildings destroyed by lightning. 
* Added 8 World Map modifiers to the Daily Expedition pool.
* * Forbidden lands
* * Dangerous Lands
* * Monastery of the Holy Flame
* * Ruined Armory
* * Forsaken Gods Temple
* * Corrosive Torrent
* * Levitating Monument
* * Flooded Mines
* Changed the effect of the Forsaken Gods Temple modifier. It now greatly increases the number of Timed Orders in a game, instead of preventing villagers from leaving the settlement.
* Increased the size of the World Map by ~38%. We also increased the overall amount of modifiers and rewards to be found on it. This change was motivated mainly by the fact that we added more movement options and reaching the edge of the map became too easy.  

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ Added a “Working Effect” label to all penalties active during the time Scouts work on Dangerous Glade Events. 
* ⚡ Added more information to Working Effect descriptions. They all now clearly state that the penalty is only active when a Scout is working on a corresponding Glade Event. 
* ⚡ Updated the description for the Biscuit Diet Cornerstone to better reflect its actual effect.
* ⚡ Changed the “New upgrades available in the Citadel” text in the level-up screen to be shorter.
* ⚡ Changed the description of the Levitating Monument Modifier. It now reflects the effect more precisely – most, but not all buildings can be moved.
* Added a new Gameplay section in the Settings Window, dedicated solely to gameplay elements (tracking orders, housing warning distance settings, etc).
* Changed the descriptions for houses and Hearths to better outline their role in the settlement. 
* Updated some tooltip texts and Atlas description to better reflect the change to villager routines.

'''Bug fixes'''
* ⚡ Fixed a bug that caused Citadel Resources found in Glade Events to not be added correctly to the player’s Storage. 
* ⚡ Fixed a bug that caused the terrain beneath towns on the World Map to always be green (instead of having the correct biome color).
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Thrill of Exploration Cornerstone reward in the Devilish Curiosity Order not giving Resolve for every discovered Glade.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with builders hammering empty air after moving a building’s construction site.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with resource icons being displayed outside of the Storage Panel’s bounds in the Trade Route Window.  
* ⚡ Fixed a typo in the Stormforged version of the Forge Trip Hammer Cornerstone.
* ⚡ Fixed a typo in the Beaver Colony Order name.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with Factions having the same random town names as the player.
* ⚡ Fixed two missing Deed descriptions in the Polish and Russian translations.
* ⚡ Fixed a rare bug that caused some World Map tiles to display the “this biome is not available in the demo” tooltip text.
* Fixed a bug that caused the Cursed Royal Woodlands to not be included in the claimed territory after playing near them.

'''Other'''
* Improved the game’s overall performance.
* Updated a few 3D models for resources. Previously, most goods were represented by crates (on construction sites and when carried by villagers). After this change, these objects should be more varied (planks, bricks, sacks of food, barrels).

===== Early Access version: 0.26.4R =====

* Fixed a bug that caused Citadel Resources found in Glade Events to not scale correctly at the end of the game.  
* Moved two Deeds to the Legacy category: Weather Anomaly and Stonewood Infestation. 
* Citadel Resources found during a run are now displayed in the Trade Goods category on the HUD. 
* Citadel Resources found during a settlement run can be sold to Traders. 

===== Early Access version: 0.26.3R =====

* Fixed a bug with the Resolve Threshold value in the Resolve tooltip always displaying " - ". 
* Changed the reward in the Adventurous Viceroy Order from Barrel Schematics to the Explorers' Lodge blueprint.  
* Rebalanced the requirements in the Trade Connections and Advanced Trading Orders to make them more distinct.  
* Restricted the drop rates of 5 stacking Cornerstones (e.g.: Vineyard Town, Training Grounds) in the Forsaken Altar. You can still buy the Stormforged versions of these perks there, but if you already have the base version, there won't be an option to upgrade them.  
* Changed the way building descriptions are displayed in the Reputation Reward popup. Recipes are now listed in separate lines. 

===== Early Access version: 0.26.1R - New World =====
Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by community.

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Revamped the World Map:
* The World Map is now fully 3D – terrain, modifiers, treasures, towns, the Smoldering City. We also updated the fog and UI indicators on the map.
* Modifiers and points of interest are no longer visible beneath the fog on the World Map. They are instead marked with a question mark and need to be discovered first.
* Added 14 new Modifiers. We won’t spoil the fun and describe them all, but here’s a list just to tease you:
* * Royal Outpost
* * Watchtower
* * Ancient Battleground
* * Sparkdew Crystals
* * Haunted Forest
* * Fishmen Ritual Site
* * Monastery of the Flame
* * Forbidden Lands
* * Dangerous Lands
* * Statue of the Forefathers

* * Levitating Monument
* * Corrosive Torrent
* * Forsaken Gods Temple
* Added a new type of object that can be found on the World Map – treasure chests. They can be interacted with by simply clicking on them (if you are in range). They contain Citadel Resources. 
* Changed the way settling on the World Map works. From now on, you can only select a field in range of one of your previous towns or the Citadel. You can’t jump around from one side of the map to the other at will. 
* Changed the World Map’s HUD. There’s now a horizontal bar on top of the screen showing owned Citadel Resources and Faction Influence.
* Added a Factions rivalry system. You are now competing against Factions for Influence on the World Map. The winner is decided at the end of a Cycle, and given additional Citadel Resources for their effort. Things that generate Influence: settlement scores, amount of land claimed, games won near modifiers, and expedition distance.
* Successfully establishing a town now claims the land around it. Claimed land can’t be played on. This also goes for Factions (they can’t settle on your land, and you can’t start a settlement on theirs).
* Completed Modifiers now disappear from the map to avoid confusion and visual clutter.
* ⚡ Added a Factions category to the in-game Atlas. There you can find more information about all three factions’ backstories, motivations, goals, and leaders.

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Glade Event rewards have been rebalanced.
* Cornerstone rewards were moved. They are no longer present under the “send to Citadel” choice, and can instead appear under the “keep” section.

* The chance of getting a Cornerstone from Glade Events has been increased across the board.
* The “send to Citadel” reward section will now only have Amber and Reputation.

UX/UI improvements
* ⚡ Added a keybind for the Trade Route Panel ([Y] by default).
* ⚡ Changed the color of all “decline” buttons in the game.
* ⚡ Added the option to scale up the UI above the limit.
* * Warning: this option is meant as a type of “last resort” in case you really need to have a bigger UI, not as a fully supported UI scale increase. There may be glitches and overflowing text. If you have trouble reading certain sections of the UI, please report them to us, and we will try and fix them.
* ⚡ Score is now displayed after winning any run, regardless of the difficulty (it was previously only displayed for Daily runs and Prestige difficulties).
* Changed the description of the Under the Queen’s Eye Daily Modifier. It now states that you are only given one non-timed Order choice (as you still can get Timed Orders). 
* Goods in caravans in the Embark Panel are now sorted based on their types.

'''Bug fixes'''
* ⚡ Fixed a bug that caused Ruined Plantations to spawn in maps without fertile soil.

* ⚡ Fixed an issue with the scroll bar overlapping perk icons in the “effects & upgrades” section of the building panel.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug that made it impossible to turn off sacrificing in the exact moment when the last piece of fuel was being burned.

* The World Map is now fully 3D – terrain, modifiers, treasures, towns, the Smoldering City. We also updated the fog and UI indicators on the map.
* Modifiers and points of interest are no longer visible beneath the fog on the World Map. They are instead marked with a question mark and need to be discovered first.
* * Added 14 new Modifiers. We won’t spoil the fun and describe them all, but here’s a list just to tease you:
* * Royal Outpost
* * Watchtower
* * Ancient Battleground
* * Sparkdew Crystals
* * Haunted Forest
* * Fishmen Ritual Site
* * Monastery of the Flame
* * Forbidden Lands
* * Dangerous Lands
* * Statue of the Forefathers
* * Flooded Mines
* * Levitating Monument
* * Corrosive Torrent
* * Forsaken Gods Temple
* Added a new type of object that can be found on the World Map – treasure chests. They can be interacted with by simply clicking on them (if you are in range). They contain Citadel Resources. 
* Changed the way settling on the World Map works. From now on, you can only select a field in range of one of your previous towns or the Citadel. You can’t jump around from one side of the map to the other at will. 
* Changed the World Map’s HUD. There’s now a horizontal bar on top of the screen showing owned Citadel Resources and Faction Influence.
* Added a Factions rivalry system. You are now competing against Factions for Influence on the World Map. The winner is decided at the end of a Cycle, and given additional Citadel Resources for their effort. Things that generate Influence: settlement scores, amount of land claimed, games won near modifiers, and expedition distance.
* Successfully establishing a town now claims the land around it. Claimed land can’t be played on. This also goes for Factions (they can’t settle on your land, and you can’t start a settlement on theirs).
* Completed Modifiers now disappear from the map to avoid confusion and visual clutter.
* ⚡ Added a Factions category to the in-game Atlas. There you can find more information about all three factions’ backstories, motivations, goals, and leaders.

* Citadel Resources were moved from the “send to Citadel” reward choice to the “keep” section.
* ⚡ Orders will now be generated based on the settlement’s biome.

'''UX/UI improvements'''
* ⚡ Added a keybind for the Trade Route Panel ([Y] by default).
* ⚡ Changed the color of all “decline” buttons in the game.
* ⚡ Added the option to scale up the UI above the limit.
* Warning: this option is meant as a type of “last resort” in case you really need to have a bigger UI, not as a fully supported UI scale increase. There may be glitches and overflowing text. If you have trouble reading certain sections of the UI, please report them to us, and we will try and fix them.
* ⚡ Score is now displayed after winning any run, regardless of the difficulty (it was previously only displayed for Daily runs and Prestige difficulties).
* Changed the description of the Under the Queen’s Eye Daily Modifier. It now states that you are only given one non-timed Order choice (as you still can get Timed Orders).

* ⚡ Fixed an issue with Reputation from Resolve Deeds not sorting correctly in the Deeds Panel.
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with Gatherers and Woodcutters incorrectly calculating the distance to their respective workplaces. 
* ⚡ Fixed a bug that caused the Fearless Order to start with the current amount of discovered Dangerous Glades instead of Forbidden ones. 
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with the scroll bar overlapping perk icons in the “effects & upgrades” section of the building panel.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug that made it impossible to turn off sacrificing in the exact moment when the last piece of fuel was being burned. 
* ⚡ Fixed the incorrect tooltip text for the “Call Immediately” button in the Trader Panel after a game was won.

Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by community.

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Added a new and improved Trade Route system. 
* Trade Routes are no longer passive, constant streams of goods from other settlements. Instead, they now take the form of Offers. 
* Offers are one-time buy orders from nearby settlements. Your neighbors will inform you about their needs, and you can send them goods in exchange for amber. 
* Offers are procedurally generated based on the settlement’s biome and your relation with the said settlement. They can range from not very profitable to extremely lucrative. 
* Each offer has four main parameters: desired goods (what a settlement needs), payment (how much Amber the settlement is willing to pay), travel cost (what will it cost to travel to said settlement), and travel time (how long the Trade Route will take).
* Each Offer has multiple levels of size – you can decide how many of the desired goods you are willing to send by using the arrow buttons in the Offer Slot. 
* After you accept an offer, the goods will be sent to the settlement. Once your caravan returns, you will be able to collect the earned Amber (you can also set a checkbox to auto-collect Amber).
* Offers reset every season.
* You start with 2 Offers in each settlement and can buy more Offer Slots for Amber (up to 5). 
* Each successfully finished Trade Route will progress your Standing with a given settlement. There are 5 standing levels: neutral, known, friendly, honored, and allied.
* Each Standing level increases the base amount of goods a settlement wants and how much it’s willing to pay. The travel time also decreased slightly.
* You can see the full list of goods a settlement might want to buy from you by hovering over it on the World Map. 
* Added a new type of mission from the Queen – Timed Orders. These are very difficult, time-sensitive objectives that can be failed, but completing them gives great rewards. 
* Timed Orders can be unlocked in the Citadel, after buying the Obsidian Archive Level 9 Upgrade.
* Once unlocked, Timed Orders will appear randomly in some Order Packs. 
* Timed Orders are given as a third choice in the Order Pick Popup (or: as a fourth choice if you are playing the Daily Expedition with a modifier).
* Timed Orders are harder and more rewarding than normal Orders. They can fail if the timer runs out.
* You have a limited time to pick the Timed Order in the Order Pick Popup. 
* Once you pick the Order, the timer will start and you will have to finish it before the time runs out. 
* Timed Orders are based on the game’s difficulty. Some are present in games on Normal difficulty, but most of them activate on Impossible or higher.
* Added 60 new Timed Orders. We will let you discover their requirements and rewards on your own, and only share their names here in the changelog:

* * The building was added mainly as a way to give the players more tools in difficult games, such as Prestige or Impossible runs (especially when combined with the Consumption Control system). 
* Added one more player level – 16. 
* * Reaching level 16 will unlock the followig Cornerstones: Hidden from the Queen, Overtime, Ritual of prosperity.
* Added one additional Upgrade for the Obsidian Archive line in the Citadel to buy on level 16. 
* * Please note – there isn’t much content to unlock at level 15 and 16, but we will slowly add new things to fill in the gaps.

Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by community.
New content and features

* ⚡ Added a Consumption Control system, where you can decide what is being consumed and by whom. 
* The Consumption Control feature can be unlocked by buying an upgrade in the Smoldering City – Obsidian Archive Level 5.
* After unlocking Consumption Control, it will appear as an icon in the top right corner of the HUD (similarly to how the Order Panel or the Recipe Panel work).
* In the Consumption Control panel, you can use checkboxes to select which goods are consumed by what species. You can limit the consumption of raw food, complex food, clothing, and luxuries.
* Limiting consumption can have an impact on Resolve. Each denied need has a different Resolve penalty value.
* Resolve penalties are only applied if a restricted good is available in the Storage. If you deny consumption of a resource that you don’t have, no penalty will be activated. 
* The Resolve penalty for denying a need to a given species grows if another species can still consume that good. For instance – if you forbid Pie consumption for Beavers, but Humans can still eat it, the Beavers will get a substantial Resolve penalty.
* Restricting the consumption of raw foods (mushrooms, meat, vegetables, etc.) does not activate any Resolve penalty. 
* All Resolve penalties can be previewed in the Consumption Control panel, under each checkbox. The preview is divided into two categories: current impact (how the Resolve is currently changed by the enabling/disabling of the need), and max. impact (the maximum amount of a Resolve bonus or penalty for a given need).
* You can change the default checkbox state for raw food and complex food in the options menu (from “on by default” to “off by default”).

===== Early Access version: 0.17.1R - Resolve Revamp =====
Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by the community.

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Revamped the entire Resolve System. It’s now based on flat values and should be easier to understand in general. 
* Each species has an initial Resolve value – so called Base Resolve.  
* Resolve modifiers are now simply added to a Base Resolve value instead of being calculated with a complex equation. For example: Humans have a Base Resolve of 30. If you have two effects, one +2 and the other -5, the final Resolve for Humans will be: 30 + 2 – 5 = 27. 
* There are two basic values for a species: Current Resolve and Target Resolve. Current Resolve reflects the Resolve a species has, and Target Resolve is the value after adding all the Resolve modifiers. Current Resolve changes over time until it reaches Target Resolve. 
* Resolve now ranges from 0 to 50. Villagers will leave only if Current Resolve is equal to 0 or lower. 
* Every species now has a different set of characteristics related to Resolve: 
* Base Resolve value (Trustful) 
* Reaction speed to Resolve changes (Resilient) 
* Reputation generation rate (Demanding) 
* Reputation threshold change after gaining a point (Decadent) 
* Stagnation was removed. 
* Some Resolve sources have been rebalanced (more info about it in the “Balance” section of this changelog). 
* ⚡ Added Player Profiles. You can now have up to 5 profiles on one machine, each with its own save files (both meta progression and settlement saves). 
* Player Profiles can be accessed in the Main Menu, in the top right corner of the screen. 
* Profiles are fully compatible with Cloud Saves.  
* You can erase progress or remove a profile by clicking on the corresponding icons in the Profile Panel. 
* You can freely rename profiles by clicking on a profile name in the Profile Panel. 
* Settings (graphics, language, keybinds, etc.) are shared across all profiles. 

'''Balance'''
* ⚡ Farmers will now transport goods to the Main Storage in Clearance.
* ⚡ Lowered the spawn rate of Insect Resource nodes in the Coral Forest.
* ⚡ Memory of the Forest’s Hostility value has been decreased to 50 (from 100).
* The Resolve penalty for the Storm has been decreased from -5 to -4. 
* Species-specific housing now gives +3 Resolve instead of +2.
* Resolve can now be negative. The lower the Resolve, the faster villagers will leave. Thresholds are at -5, -15, and -25 Resolve.
* Sacrificing Wood in the Hearth now costs 40 Wood per minute instead of 60. 
* Sacrificing Coal in the Hearth now costs 15 Coal per minute instead of 20.
* Sacrificing Oil in the Hearth now costs 15 Oil per minute instead of 20.
* Coal recipes were rebalanced: 
* Coal (3 stars) production time reduced to 60 sec instead of 90 sec. 
* Coal (2 stars) production time reduced to 90 sec instead of 120 sec.
* Coal (1 stars) production time reduced to 90 sec instead of 120 sec.
* Villagers with high Resolve now generate Reputation slightly slower.
* Rebalanced the rate at which different species react to Resolve changes.

'''UI/UX improvements'''
* Added a new indicator for when villagers are leaving. Now after reaching 0 Resolve, a red bar next to the species portrait will start going down. If it reaches the bottom, a villager will leave. 
* It’s also possible to see the exact amount of seconds left before someone leaves by hovering over the Resolve bar of a given species.
* The leaving indicator (a crossed red heart next to the Resolve Bar) is shown as soon as the Target Resolve is 0 or less.
* The “Low Resolve” notification will be displayed as soon as the Target Resolve is 0 or less. It will no longer be displayed if the Resolve won’t eventually reach the leaving threshold.
* Sounds and notifications of villagers leaving will be triggered as soon as someone decides to leave and starts moving to the nearest Storage.
* ⚡ Perks revealing information about undiscovered Glades now also show Glade Events.
* ⚡ Updated the “Unlocked Content” section in the Cycle Summary Panel. It now displays upgrades bought during a Cycle. Hovering over an Upgrade will reveal more information about it. 
* ⚡ Added a keybind option for opening the Recipe Panel ([T] by default).
* ⚡ Added a tooltip to the Recipe Panel button on the HUD.
* ⚡ Added a countdown to the next update in the Main Men, just below the “Play” button. There’s also now a tooltip explaining the update cycle of Against the Storm.
* ⚡ Updated the “Incompatible Save” message to give a bit more information on why saves need to be reset after some game updates.
* ⚡ Added new graphical settings to the options menu:
* Motion Blur
* Depth of Field

* And when it comes to the rest of the brainstorm (Modifiers, Seeds), don’t worry, they will find their way into the game pretty soon with the already planned meta progression and world map overhaul.
* Villagers around the Hearth now no longer look in one direction after loading a save.

===== Early Access version: 0.16.4R =====

===== Early Access version: 0.16.3R - Recipe Cookbooks =====
Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by the community.

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ Added the Recipe Summary Panel – a place where you can control all recipes in your settlement.
* The panel can be accessed via a new button in the top right corner of the screen.
* It includes all recipes available in a given settlement – from buildings already placed and blueprints available to be built (it does not show recipes that are not in your roster in a given session).
* It is divided into 7 categories based on the types of goods available in the game: All, Food, Building Materials, Consumable Items, Crafting Resources, Trade Goods, Fuel & Exploration.
* You can browse through goods in two modes: ingredient and product.
* The “ingredient mode” will show a list of resources that can be used to produce other goods. Upon selecting a good, you will be shown all available recipes a given good can be used in.
* The “product” mode will show a list of goods and their sources. Upon selecting a resource, you will be shown all available recipes where it can be created.
* After selecting a good you can see the buildings in which it’s produced, the star ratings of recipes, time requirements, ingredients, as well as a count of all recipes per grade.
* The Recipe Summary allows you to set global production limits per good, change ingredients, enable or disable recipes in specific buildings, set local limits that override the global limit.
* There is a “Related Goods” section that lists all resources tied to a selected recipe. You can click any item in this list, and the Panel will search for other sources or recipes with this good (depending on the selected mode: ingredient or product). 
* If you don’t have a building in your settlement, but it’s available in your roster, you can press the “build” button in the Summary Panel to go straight into construction mode. 
* Added 25 new Forest Mysteries to the already existing 35, making it a total of 60 effects that can be generated when starting a new map. They apply to almost all biomes (with 2-5 exceptions for every biome, as some effects are unique to some environments).
* Humid Climate – The humidity in this region is unbearable. Fuel efficiency is 30% lower. This effect stacks with the Hostility level.
* Overheating – Machinery tends to overheat in this climate. 5 Sparkdew is taken from you every Storm (multiplied by the number of years). If you can’t pay, global production speed will be reduced by 15% (the penalty stays even after the Storm has passed).
* Vassal Tax – Due to this region’s location, the Crown requires you to pay 5 Amber every Storm (multiplied by the number of years). If you don’t, Impatience will grow 20% faster (the penalty stays even after the Storm has passed).
* Seasonal Crops – The soil in this region is so fertile that Mushrooms spring up by themselves. All farms can plant Mushrooms on farm fields during Drizzle. 
* Crimson Rainfall – The rain in this region has a weird red hue and iron taste to it. Ink can be collected in the Rain Collector in Drizzle. 
* Worms after the Rain – Insects are extremely easy to collect after heavy rainfall. During Drizzle, Insects can be gathered in the Scavengers’ Camp.
* Piercing Winds – Extremely strong winds make it difficult to sustain the Holy Flame. Fuel efficiency is 250% lower.
* Lightning – The Storm is more violent than usual. Every 50 seconds a building is destroyed by lightning.
* Thunder – A terrifying sound of a raging sky. Every 50 seconds 3 buildings are destroyed by lightning.
* Aura of Despair – No amount of amenities can distract villagers from the terrifying Storm. Reputation generated from Resolve grows 95% slower.
* Vanishing Goods – Some goods seem to mysteriously disappear. Maybe there’s a thief in the settlement? Villagers have a 10% chance of consuming double the amount of goods when using services. This effect scales with Hostility.
* Bleeding Trees – A red sticky substance is oozing from beneath the tree bark. Gain 4 Resin for every cut down tree.
* No contact – Harsh weather conditions make it impossible to reach the Citadel. Gaining Reputation doesn’t lower Impatience. 
* Acid Rain – The rain dissolves some of the resources transported to the Storage. Recipes producing building materials yield 50% fewer goods. 
* Wild Growth – Small energizing drops cause uncontrollable growth in some species. All resource nodes discovered during Drizzle have 10 more charges.
* Rot from the Sky – The Rain smells like Blightrot… Global food production is 15% slower. This effect scales with Hostility.
* Lightweight Wood – The evaporating rainwater has made wood a lot lighter in this region. Woodcutters can carry 10 more goods in Drizzle.
* Insatiable Hunger – Working in this environment requires a lot of energy. Villagers have a 10% chance to consume double the amount of food each break. This effect scales with Hostility. 
* Death and Decay – This damp and rotting landscape is the perfect breeding ground for sickness. Villagers dying during the Storm instantly turn into Blightrot. 
* Quaking Bog – The ground is moving and swaying from all the absorbed rainwater. Gathering speed is decreased by 50%.
* Sacred Flame Rituals – Only the Sacred Flame can protect the settlement from the darkness surrounding it. Sacrifice 3 Wood for every villager. If you don’t, they will leave.
* Royal Funding – The Queen’s generosity knows no limits. Gain 2 Amber every time you sell goods worth 10 Amber.
* Resisting Flora – The trees seem to come to life during the Storm… Woodcutting is 90% slower, but each fallen tree gives 5 Meat.
* Corrosive Rainfall – The charged rain is slowly eating away at all metal objects. All recipes using metal or ore have a 50% lower yield. 
* Fresh Breeze – A refreshing current of air lifts the spirit. Those with basic needs taken care of are more willing to work. (Energized effect for satisfying Housing and Complex Food).

'''Balance'''
* Downpour now requires Housing and Services instead of Clothing. Its penalty also changed – from Exhausted to Gluttonous (50% chance to consume double food).   
* Removed the Piercing Winds effect. A new effect was added with the same name instead. 
* Removed the Invigorating Winds Seasonal Effect. 
* Cold Snap no longer requires clothing and is now affecting all species (not only Lizards). Its penalty has also been changed from Fading to Gluttonous (50% chance to consume double food). 
* Rich Branches, Barren Lands was renamed and now only affects camps, without the penalty to production on farm fields.

===== Early Access version: 0.14.5R =====
Small hotfix to the Daily Expeditions maps generation, preventing from rolling the same geography on different days. Pretty sure that's the very last update... this year

===== Early Access version: 0.14.3R =====
We just released a small hotfix changing how Daily Expeditions are generated. The geography of the map should now be randomized with each run.

===== Early Access version: 0.14.2R - Expeditions =====
Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by the community.

* ⚡ Daily Expeditions – a special challenge map generated once per day, with predefined embark bonuses, unique modifiers, and selectable difficulty. You can access Daily Expeditions after reaching level 6 of the Obsidian Archives in the Smoldering City. 
* Each day, a map is picked (on a random biome) with a set of Embark Bonuses and three Modifiers (one positive and two negatives).
* Every player has the same Daily Expedition.
* Daily Expeditions reset at 00:00 GMT.
* Added a brand new scoring system (only accessible in Expeditions), where your performance during the game is evaluated and scored after you finish the challenge. 
* Added 21 unique gameplay modifiers dedicated to Daily Expeditions.
* After winning a game, the settlement from the Daily Expedition will appear on the World Map, just like any other settlement. 
* Rewards for the Daily expedition are the same as playing any other settlement near a modifier. Rewards are granted only once a day. 
* Deeds are disabled in Daily Expeditions. 
* Added 8 new perks to the pool of Cornerstones given to the player at the beginning of the year, and 4 new perks available to buy from traders.
* Added 8 new Orders with 3 difficulty levels each.
* Added a new Deed – winning a game in the Coral Forest.
* ⚡ Changed the way the Reputation Reward Pick Upgrade works – now the additional blueprint choice is always a wildcard, and no longer belongs to the same thematic set as the other choices.
* ⚡ Added a third Trade Route to the Citadel, to make the first settlement in a Cycle a bit easier to complete. 
* ⚡ Added a new decoration – the much-awaited Fence Corner!

'''Balance'''

* ⚡ Changed prices for all items in the game – they are now based on resources used when crafting and the star grading of the recipe. This way, there should no longer be instances of converting low value ingredients into disproportionately valued items. There are too many changes to list here, but the highlights are as follows:
* Food in general now costs more,
* Amber is worth slightly less than before,
* Packs of Goods (Trading Goods, Luxury Goods, Building Materials, etc.) are now sold for less,
* Perk prices have been updated to better fit the current balance.
* ⚡ Slightly lowered the amount of goods some traders have.
* Added previously missing luxury goods to some traders (Training Gear, Manuscripts).
* Increased the amount of time traders stay in the settlement by 20 seconds. 
* Changed the Manuscript recipe – it now requires 1 Coal instead of 2.
* Infused and Simple Tool recipes now require less metal and wood.  
* Crystallized Dew no longer requires Resin.
* Packs of Trade Goods can no longer be crafted with Tools. They can now require Crystallized Dew or Copper Bars instead.

* ⚡ Adjusted the rewards and objectives of Orders based on need fulfillment to better fit the new service buildings introduced in update 0.13. 
* ⚡ Lowered the requirements for exploration based Orders (Ancient Tablets, exploring Glades) to better fit the changes introduced in the exploration revamp. 
* ⚡ Removed the Petrification Deed and lowered the requirements for the Blightrot Farmer and Ancient Vaults Deeds to better fit the current exploration balance.
* ⚡ All Dangerous Events with resource requirements now require more building materials to be solved.
* ⚡ Destroyed Buildings found in Glades now take half as much time to rebuild.
* Increased the Working Effect severity for Stonetooth Termite Burrows and Dark Gates. 
* Changed the consequence and time requirements of Fallen Villagers events. The event now turns into 4 Blightrot Cysts after 8 minutes.
* Increased the amount of Blightrot Cysts spawned after the timer of the Ancient Burial Grounds runs out.
* The amounts of resources and rewards on most Glades have been evened out. Previously, there were big gaps between the most abundant and empty Glades. Now all Glades of the same type should have a fairer distribution of nodes.
* ⚡ Cornerstones offered by traders now change price due to perks increasing or lowering the worth of Amber. 
* ⚡ Removed Sloppy Woodcutting, Efficient Brewing and Extraction Tools from the Cornerstone pool. 
* ⚡ A few Cornerstones have been rebalanced:

* Added a bit more resource nodes and fertile soil patches to small Glades.
* Food gathering time has been lowered by 15% for all camps. 
* Increased the penalty for villagers leaving or dying (from 0,2 to 0,3 Impatience)

'''UI/UX improvements'''

* ⚡ Forest Mysteries now take map modifiers into account. This means no more Clear Skies effect on maps with a Trade Block.  
* ⚡ Added a “stored” counter on goods tooltips. You can now see how many of a given item you have stored when hovering over a good. 
* ⚡ Added the option to mute in-game audio when the game is in the background. 
* ⚡ Added an option to disable lightning flashes during the Storm.  
* ⚡ A trader portrait is now displayed in the “trader arrived” icon above the Trading Post. 
* ⚡ There are no longer two separate alerts when a trader arrives. Now a message appears with the trader’s name and disappears automatically after they leave.  
* ⚡ There is now a timer on the trader’s arrival progress bar. 
* ⚡ Alerts about completed Orders, new Orders, Cornerstones and new villagers can now be dismissed. 
* ⚡ The game now automatically detects if the player is using a QWERTY or AZERTY keyboard and adjusts keybinds accordingly.

===== Early Access version: 0.13.1R - Exploration =====
Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by the community.

'''New content and features'''
* ⚡ The new exploration revamp has been introduced. This is a massive update to almost every aspect of this system – how glade events work, how resources are spawned, how glades are sized and distributed in the forest, etc. 
* All glade events in the game have been changed – they now have different effects and requirements, ranging from simple good delivery to surviving hostile effects for a period of time. Rewards have also been adjusted and more events allow for a “send” or “keep” reward choice. 
* A new requirement type has been added to Glade Events – working effects. Working Effects are penalties or challenges that trigger when an event is being worked on. The player’s objective is to adapt and survive them in order to solve the event. 
* Added 3 new Glade Events and replaced 2 older events with completely new ones. 
* Added Lore Tablets – a new extremely rare type of object found in glades. They contain lore snippets and hints about the world of Against The Storm. And more of them are coming in the future. 
* Added new types of structures with positive effects as rewards for solving some Glade Events (for example “flipping” a Totem to become a decoration with a Resolve boost). 
* The way glades are generated has changed – now there are no longer “free” big glades, and there is now a bigger difference between Normal and Hard difficulty.
* There are no longer three different values for Hostility when exploring. All glades, regardless of size and threats, now give the same amount of Hostility points.
* Resource generation has been adjusted to better reflect what is stated in the biome preview displayed before each game.
* All ruins have been rebalanced – they now cost a bit more and give fewer rewards. Ruins spawn rate in glades has also been adjusted.
* There are now more than double the amount of unique glades that are possible to appear on a map.
* Rebalanced glade rewards and resources. There are now fewer things to find in regular Glades, but much more treasure in Dangerous and Forbidden Glades.
* Service buildings have been changed. Now all structures such as the Tavern, Temple, Teadoctor, etc. are mechanically more distinct.
* Added unique effects to all service buildings in the game. These effects are activated based on the number of workers assigned. There can be one or more effects per structure (the only exception to this is the Common Hall). 
* Removed the “free” tier of needs in service buildings. Now all needs require goods to be fulfilled.
* Rebalanced the costs and worker slots of all service buildings in the game.

'''Balance'''

* Hostility of the Forest has been rebalanced to fit with the new exploration revamp.
* All glades now give a flat amount of Hostility points.
* Increased the amount of Hostility coming from all villagers.
* Increased the amount of Hostility coming from woodcutters.
* Each Impatience Point now subtracts more Hostility points.
* Positive Hostility modifiers (such as Hearths and Impatience) will now always subtract the same amount of points and no longer scale with difficulty.
* Adjusted some Resolve bonuses to better fit the service building changes:
* Biscuits and Pie now give 5 instead of 6 Resolve. 
* Brotherhood gives now 8 instead of 5 Resolve. 
* Education and Luxury now give 10 instead of 5 Resolve. 
* ⚡ Housing needs are now instantly fulfilled after a villager is assigned to a home (no more waiting for a villager taking a break to update their status). 
* ⚡ Increased the chance of Sahilda having certain goods for sale (like Eggs or Mushrooms).

'''UI/UX improvements'''

* ⚡ Added status icons on worker slots – it’s now possible to see what a worker is doing in a given moment (if they are fetching resources, resting, idling, etc.). All status icons also have a tooltip when hovering over with a description of the villager’s actions.
* ⚡ Added an “idle workers” icon above buildings in which no one is working.
* ⚡ Allowed tree marking without the need for a Woodcutters’ Camp being built (outside of the tutorial).

'''Bug fixes'''

* ⚡ Improved the overall performance of the fog on the world map.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug where sometimes Cornerstones would not be given to the player after starting a new year.
* ⚡ Fixed a bug where the players would be rolled back into Phase I after a forced world map reset. 
* ⚡ Fixed a bug where some Coral Forest maps would have incorrect forest generation (some trees and glades were placed on water). 
* ⚡ Fixed a bug where some Glade Event effects would not be removed after solving them.

* ⚡ Fixed an issue with the Survivor Bonding Cornerstone giving the Resolve Bonus from the Ancient Artifact.

* Fixed a bug where the “Trader Arrived” icon was still visible even if the Trading Post was destroyed. 
* Improved save stability.

'''Other'''
# Missing translations will now default to English.
# Slickshell Broodmother textures have been updated.

===== Early Access version: 0.12.6R =====
* Added Community Vote (available via button in the right bottom corner of the Main Menu)

===== Early Access version: 0.12.3R =====
* We just pushed a small hotfix which should prevent the seasons from not changing if Violent Dusk (+100 to Hostility) became active during the storm.

===== Early Access version: 0.12.1R - Coral Forest =====

Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by the community.
'''New content and features'''

* ⚡ Added a new biome – the Coral Forest. Besides the standard differences, like resource availability and visuals, this region also brings a set of new content:

* an effect that boosts bonus production based on the Hostility level

* Orders should now generate based on settlement conditions and unlocked meta progress, without impossible tasks like a farm on Barren Lands

* Changed some objectives with the delivery of complex consumable goods to now require satisfying a need
* The amount of available Orders and their difficulty is now based on the map that is played. This means that games played on “Normal” (close to the Citadel) will have 12 easy Orders, whereas games on “Impossible” will now have 9 very hard  Orders.

'''Balance'''

* ⚡ Changed the Resolve balance based on feedback from the previous patch
* ⚡ Added a system for dynamically moving the Reputation threshold (the blue bar) on the species Resolve indicator. It’s now easier to generate Reputation early on during the game, but the more Reputation is gained, the more Resolve is required.
* Stagnation no longer grows with gained Reputation.
* Stagnation is now a flat number and no longer a range. 
* Lizards now generate more Reputation after reaching the blue threshold.

'''UI/UX improvements'''

* ⚡ Perks with unique effects (like Mist Piercers) will no longer appear in the Cornerstone selection window if the player has already picked it. 
* ⚡ Perks will no longer appear in the Cornerstone selection window if they are useless in a given environment (like trading focused Cornerstones on a Trade Block map).

* ⚡ Fixed a bug where destroying a building wouldn’t return goods located in its internal storage.  
* ⚡ Fixed a bug where hovering over the UI would interrupt input while moving a building. 
* ⚡ Fixed a bug where opening up the construction panel would not close the building window of a selected building. 
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with the Important Matters effect lowering the Queen’s Impatience only by around 50% instead of 80%. 
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with the Devastating Storms effect incorrectly stating that it stacks with Hostility. 
* Fixed an issue with missing minus symbols in descriptions of effects shortening season durations. 
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Prosperous Archaeology Cornerstone not giving Resolve for opened Caches. 
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Prosperous Settlement Cornerstone not correctly counting its Resolve bonus based on traded goods. 
* Changed the Prosperous Settlement description to more accurately reflect its effect (it now only counts goods sold to the trader). 
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with ingredients overlapping in the goods selection UI. 
* ⚡ Fixed a bug where the Feedback Window couldn’t be opened when in the Citadel, Deeds or Upgrade view.  
* ⚡ Fixed an issue with incorrect tooltips and descriptions for alerts regarding idle scouts and freshly discovered Glade Events. 
* ⚡ Fixed a bug with resource tooltips still being visible when opening the ESC menu in-game.

* ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Trade Route window not opening again after closing it. 
* Fixed an issue with the Rebellious Spirit Cornerstone not working correctly. 
* Improved meta save backup stability. 

'''Other'''

* Brought back the temporarily disabled seasonal effect Gift from the Woods.
* Removed the town preview in the biome summary view (we’ll bring that back in the future, once we iterate upon the entire world map system).
* Renamed the “Pan Camera Outside Main Screen” option to “Constrain Cursor”.

===== Early Access version: 0.11.4R =====
* Fixed a bug that caused the *Rebelious Spirit* cornerstone to to display an incorrect status in the tooltip 
* Fixed a bug that caused the *Lost Supplies* cornerstone to display and incorrect status in the tooltip
* Fixed a bug that caused the *Exploration Contract* cornerstone to display and incorrect status in the tooltip
* Fixed a major issue that caused incorrect Hostility stacking after saving and loading a game. This bug was making the game harder than intended for some players (thanks to <@!183663406589411328> for reporting this)

===== Early Access version: 0.11.3R =====
'''Balance:'''
* Crystalized Dew recipe now has Insects instead of Resin in the third ingredient slot. This is however a temporary measure and the recipe will be updated in an upcoming patch.  
* Lizards now give more passive Reputation from Resolve after surpassing the blue threshold 
* Adjusted species sensitivity to Resolve changes. Beavers will now react a bit quicker to Resolve changes, whereas Lizards are now slightly more resilient and won't drop Resolve as drastically as before (but all species are still different in that matter) 

'''Bug fixes:'''

* Fixed a bug where turning off Complex Effects would cause Blightrot to be invisible

=== Devlog #1 – It’s alive! ===
Apr 28, 2021

Greetings, Citizens!
We’re starting a series of development blogs to let you stay on track with the development progress and provide you with an opportunity to learn more about the game.

One of the ideas behind Against the Storm is community-driven development. We believe that a well-informed community can provide more valuable feedback and thus have a stronger impact on the development process. So without further ado, let’s take a deep dive into the last couple weeks of our work.

'''Dense Forest & Glades – roguelite features''' </br></br>
We always planned Against the Storm to be 70% city builder and 30% roguelite. While the city builder part is easily distinguishable from the screenshots, the roguelite one… not necessarily.

[[File:Devlog1Img1.PNG]] </br>

We develop Against the Storm with three pillars in mind:

The feeling of rebuilding
Becoming a part of the world
Diversity of experience
Although we felt that the game already delivers the first two of them, we knew it falls short on the last one. So we decided to discuss once again what we believe are the most essential roguelite features (which we believe to be an essential part of the Diversity of experience pillar), what problems we are facing in this area, and how we can resolve them.

Here’s what we found out.

'''Roguelite features:'''
Plurality of choices
Emergent gameplay
Strategy without micromanagement
Consequences of choices
Emphasis on the mastery
Learning from your mistakes
‘Ultimate power’ fantasy
Decision trade-offs
Procedural generation
Exploration

'''Roguelite pillars:'''
Diversity of challenges
Diversity of imperfect tools to cope with the challenges
Choices that permanently determine what tools are you going to use to cope with the challenges

'''Three deadly sins'''
We were able to distinguish three major problems (three deadly sins) that contrasted with the previously mentioned features and pillars.

'''Sin I'''</br>
We lack long-term challenges. With no challenges upon players, there’s no real risk and without the risk, there are no meaningful choices (e.g. which passive bonus should you invest in).

[[File:Devlog1Img2.PNG]]</br>
''The long-term choice in Slay the Spire (source: u/MisirterE)'' </br> </br>

'''Sin II'''</br>
We have no synergy. As a result, we also don’t have our ultimate power fantasy. You know – that one ideal run during which you performed so well you keep coming back to it in your mind and try to find a way to recreate this scenario on consecutive runs. The lack of synergy also means there can’t be any complex and diverse tactics.

[[File:Devlog1Img3.jpg]]</br>

'''Sin III'''</br>
There’s no mastery. After learning the initial rules there are no systems that allow players to learn, get to know the game, and become better.
[[File:Devlog1Img4.jpg]]</br>
''Mastery in Dead Cells  (source: Rock Paper Shotgun) '' </br> </br>

'''Dense Forest – Overview'''</br></br>
With that in mind, we formed a list of systems & features that could be implemented to support the Diversity of experience pillar and strengthen the roguelite aspect. One of the ideas we decided to test is the Dense Forest system, which supports exploration, perks, rewards, synergies, and mastery.

The Dense Forest system tries to address three problems:

* Game’s fantasy: the forest is not mysterious and overwhelming enough
* Gameplay: there are no systems that encourage exploration, which is an essential part of roguelites
* Gameplay: too much of the map is uncovered. As a result, the player has too much information at the beginning, which encourages to restart the game to generate better resources on the map

[[File:Devlog1Img5.PNG]] </br></br>

'''How it works:'''</br></br>
The player starts the game on a glade tightly surrounded by trees. The rest of the map is covered by the fog. However, the player is still able to see the shapes of other glades in the woods. Those are the places where resources and interesting objects lie, but also the danger awaits. The initial information about the contents of the glades is scarce, but it is possible to uncover it by sending a woodcutter expedition that will cut their way to the glade. Once discovered, the glade is no longer covered by the fog. The players’ task is to assess the risk of uncovering new glades.

This system resembles dungeon exploration known from other games. You are often faced with a choice, which chamber to visit next. You might get rewarded, but you can also get into serious trouble.

The majority of fields on the map are filled with trees, which can be cut down. In the Building panel, there are two icons dedicated to selecting (and de-selecting) areas marked for deforestation. The trees will only be active if the player has built the Woodcutters Camp and assigned Worker(s) to the building. The deforestation zones are marked by clicking and dragging the LMB over the desired area. Those zones are then highlighted in every mode. Workers will start chopping down trees of the closest zone and only proceed to the next one if the first is fully cleared.Your content goes here. Edit or remove this text inline or in the module Content settings. You can also style every aspect of this content in the module Design settings and even apply custom CSS to this text in the module Advanced settings.

[[File:Devlog1Img6.PNG]] </br>
</br>
There are three types of trees, which differ in terms of the generated resources and the amount of time necessary to cut them down:

* Evergreen – medium cut-down time; medium amount of resources
* Hollow – short cut-down time; low amount of resources
* Petrified – long cut-down time; low amount of resources

[[File:Devlog1Img7.jpg]] </br> ''Tree models (from left: Evergreen, Hollow, Petrified)'' </br></br>
Cutting the path to a new glade is a valuable opportunity to discover a vast area for the development of the player’s colony and most likely find new resources or more valuable rewards like passive perks. There’s also a threat of coming across new dangers.

We were able to implement the basic representation of this mechanic to the game and we’re already satisfied with the results from playtests. At the same time, we’d like to ask about your impressions. Many of you were curious what’s rogueliteish about Against the Storm. So, what do you think of this mechanic? Penny for a thought!
</br></br></br>
'''It’s a bird… It’s a plane… It’s a Beaver!'''</br></br>
[[File:Devlog1Img8.PNG]]</br>
For quite some time we’ve felt that the Beaver population was underrepresented in the game. No wonder, since they didn’t have their 3D model implemented. Duh.

So finally we’ve added the Beaver Worker model to the game along with some basic animations. You can check the animated Beaver Worker model on our SketchFab.

We wouldn’t be ourselves if we didn’t make a PS1 Hagrid meme of it. Feel free to make it your new Steam avatar.

'''Camps & Modules'''</br></br>
From other news, we’ve been working on modules for some low tier buildings. Up to this point, we only had models of high-end buildings that leverage the rainpunk technology, whereas we didn’t have any in-house-made assets for buildings that are constructed early in the game. Ones that don’t impress with their high fidelity or scale, but still are the ones that players will see most often.

Hence, we’re currently working the following models:

* Lumber Camp
* Scavenger Camp
* Prospector’s Hut
* Hunters’ Lodge
* Quarry
* Simple Farm

</br>

Whenever we make new buildings, we create them from modules. It helps us significantly speed up the process. We create modules (as seen below) that allow us to duplicate them in various objects with various decorations.

'''Rainpunk Modules'''</br></br>
[[File:Devlog1Img11.PNG]]</br>
In the meantime, we also created rainpunk modules that will be later used in various buildings that utilize rainpunk technology. What’s rainpunk you ask?

For centuries, the world of Against the Storm has been tormented by perpetual rains of extraordinary, magical properties. It can change the matter it touches and is charged with energy. Although it can be processed and utilized for noble purposes, the rain has a negative impact on all sentient races and a fair number of animals, spreading disease in their bodies.

Rainpunk term refers to a technology that utilizes magical rain.

'''Hello world!'''</br></br>
The last few weeks will remain forever special for us as we finally stepped out of the shadows and announced Against the Storm to the world.

The announcement itself was one of a kind experience for us. Seeing your genuine interest in the concept and visuals of Against the Storm made our motivation and excitement skyrocket. We’d like to thank you for all your support in the form of retweets, wishlisting the game, or spreading the word about it. You’re legends!

The question we hear a lot among other developers is When is the best time to announce your game? The answer, as too often, is: It depends. It depends on the scale of the project, the quality and amount of assets at your disposal, your marketing plan, and many many more. For some, it would be as early as the first model is created, for others when the proper trailer (CGI or gameplay) is created.

For us, it was supposed to be the day when we were able to launch our Steam page (actually, that was the second idea – let us know in the comments if you want to know the other). The game’s Steam page is the ultimate place where we want to drive players. Every Steam wishlist counts and helps us get more visibility on the platform and attract new members to our community.

So we focused our efforts on creating essential in-game assets that would best capture the idea of the game: fantasy races, buildings that could only have a purpose in the world where it constantly rains, etc. But then, we managed to attract the editors of CD-Action with the overview and gameplay of the game (with some placeholders, but they are acceptable at this point). CD-Action is the largest Polish print magazine about games.

[[File:Devlog1Img12.jpg]] </br>
It was one a kind opportunity for us, so we shifted all our efforts towards creating the best texts and screenshots that we could provide them. Sidenote: we didn’t play with screenshots in any graphic editors. What you see is taken directly from the game.

At the same time, we started the process of setting up the Steam page. Piece of advice for other indie developers: have your Steamworks account created as early as possible. You will learn what assets are necessary to launch your store page and how long the procedures take. We have some experience in launching Steam pages, but nevertheless we barely made it on time. Save yourself some unnecessary stress.

In the end, we managed to set up all the pages we wanted on time. We’re on Steam, Game Jolt, IndieDB, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, and more. That’s a lot of graphics to prepare, so we’re sharing with you our list of images and sizes that will help you prepare for launching your pages in advance:
'''
List of marketing assets and sizes (Steam, Game Jolt, IndieDB, and more!)'''
</br> </br>
We appeared in CD-Action (dreams come true!) and connected it with the global press outreach. We got some coverage on pages like Tech Raptor, OffGamers, Blue’sNews, MMOinGame, Nano Gaming News, and more. We even made it to the front page of IndieDB, so once again thank you for your interest that allowed us to reach such a high spot.
