Update 1.4 will be released on September 26. It will include both the free Fishing Update and the paid Keepers of the Stone DLC.

🐸 Keepers of the Stone DLC changelog

Frogs

  • Added a new species - Frogs.
    • Frogs are dignified and proud people with a unique affinity for wealth, renowned for their exceptional skills in architecture and their love of water. They seem to be the least bothered by rain and prefer not to live in ordinary shelters. Frogs are skilled masons and love working with Rainwater.
    • Frogs have the following needs:
    • Frogs can’t live in Shelters and don’t have a need for Icon Need Shelter.png Basic Housing.
    • Frog specializations are Masonry (proficiency) and Rainwater Specialization Rainwater (comfort).
    • Frog firekeepers have the ability to increase the speed at which newcomers arrive by 50%.
      • Frog Houses have 4 upgrade levels instead of 2.
        • Level 1
          • Extra Room - A strategically built wall can do wonders. This house will have room for one additional villager.
          • Rainwater Storage - Frogs love to bathe. They use specially treated and purified Rainwater to do so. Increases the tank capacity for each type of Rainwater by 50.
        • Level 2
          • Indoor Pool - This seemingly extravagant luxury is something that Frogs need to survive. Villagers living in a house with this upgrade receive an additional +2 to Resolve.
          • Drafting Table - Frogs are natural architects. They are said to have designed most of the Smoldering City. Building materials are produced 3% faster for each villager living in a house with this upgrade.
        • Level 3
          • Atrium - Frogs form very tight-knit communities and highly value their social status. Each newcomer group has 1 additional villager for every 2 villagers living in a house with this upgrade.
          • Storage Room - Although Frogs are generally considered to be greedy, they can sometimes be generous. At the start of each Drizzle, gain 1 Pack of Building Materials Pack of Building Materials for each villager living in a house with this upgrade.
        • Level 4
          • Water Pipeline - An advanced system of pipes connecting buildings that use Rainwater. The "Low Strain" bonus from Rain Engines gives an additional +1 to Resolve for every 2 villagers living in a house with this upgrade.
          • Workbench - An essential piece of furniture in every Frog household. Building material recipes have a 3% higher chance of producing extra resources for each villager living in a house with this upgrade.
    • Frogs’ Starting Ability is locating one nearby Ruin.
    • Frogs have the following attributes:
    • Frogs are unlocked by reaching level 13.
    • Because housing is such a crucial element of the Frog species, essential Frog Houses are automatically unlocked after reaching level 13 (instead of being an upgrade in the Citadel, like in the case of all other species).

Coastal Grove

  • Added a new biome to the game - the Coastal Grove.
    • Coastal Grove - These lands have been underwater for a very long time, and a dense forest of algae has grown over them. The seawater has blocked any Viceroys that have tried to reach this area, so the nearby marshes are full of remnants of earlier settlements.
    • In the Coastal Grove, your settlement will start at the edge of the map, near the water.
    • Your starting Glade in the Coastal Gove will contain a new unique building - the Strider Port
      • Strider Port - From this ancient port, expeditions can be launched to search the nearby swamps for blueprints and treasure in the submerged ruins of former settlements.
    • Expeditions alternate between two types: blueprint expeditions and treasure expeditions. Blueprint expeditions give you a blueprint and a treasure chest, while treasure expeditions offer only a treasure chest, but with a higher chance of higher rarity.
    • To send an expedition, you need to provide food for the Water Strider (Fish or Algae) and for its riders (a choice of raw or cooked food).
    • You can invest more supplies in an expedition to increase your chances of getting a higher rarity treasure chests.
    • The Coastal Grove is a remote location that is difficult for royal envoys to reach. As a result, you'll get fewer reputation blueprints in this biome.
    • To make up for this, you will be sending out Strider expeditions to look for blueprints. There are 5 fewer blueprints you can get from reputation, but a total of 8 blueprints you can get from expeditions.
    • Before sending an expedition in search of a blueprint, you can select the building category you are interested in.
    • Each subsequent expedition will be a bit more expensive and time consuming.
    • Trees in the Coastal Grove have a chance to drop Algae (30%) and Vegetables Vegetables (10%).
    • Resources in the Coastal Grove:
    • The Coastal Grove also has an additional effect (aside from the Strider Port).

Fishing Update (1.4) changelog

New content and features

Fishing

  • ⚡ Added fishing.
    • Fishing is a new way of acquiring resources from ponds found in Glades.
    • To fish, players need a Fishing Hut.
    • Fishing Huts work very similarly to camps. There are two types: small and regular. The small one is an essential building, and the regular one needs to be acquired separately (as a blueprint choice, from a trader, or via a wildcard).
    • Fishing Huts collect resources from ponds. Similarly to regular resource nodes, there are two sizes of ponds: small (2x2) and large (3x3).
    • There are 3 types of ponds:
      • Algae Pond - A murky pond covered with algae bloom.
        • A small Algae Pond gives 1 Algae and has a 40% chance for Herbs Herbs.
        • A large Algae Pond gives 2 Algae, has a 50% chance for Herbs Herbs, and a 20% chance for Fish.
      • Thunderfish Pond - A very common species of eel.
        • A small Thunderfish Pond gives 1 Fish and has a 40% chance for Scales.
        • A large Thunderfish Pond gives 2 Fish and has a 50% chance for Scales.
      • Copperfin Trout Pond - Caught primarily for its durable scales and fish leather.
        • A small Copperfin Trout Pond gives 1 Scale and has a 40% chance for Sea Marrow Sea Marrow.
        • A large Copperfin Trout Pond gives 2 Scales, has a 50% chance for Sea Marrow Sea Marrow, and a 30% chance for Fish.
    • Fishermen don't collect resources like regular gatherers. They first catch fish and algae in nets, and then transport them directly to a Warehouse when the entire pond is depleted. Resources held in nets are not available for production or consumption, they must first be transported to a warehouse.
    • Players can decide to reel in a net sooner, but once they do this, the pond is depleted.
    • Ponds have a very large number or resource charges in them when compared to other does (60 as opposed to 20 in small ones). The intention here was to create a new type of resource gathering mechanism - a mix of a non-renewable source (just like regular deposits) and a big time investment with a big yield at the end (like in the case of farming).
    • Players can use ground bait to double fishing yields.
    • Ground bait is made from Pack of Crops Pack of Crops. One Pack of Crops Pack of Crops equals four pieces of bait. Bait is created in the Fishing Hut, instantly after a fisherman brings a Pack of Crops Pack of Crops to the building.
    • Players can decide (in the Fishing Hut UI) how ground bait should be used. There are 3 options:
      • None - fishermen will never use bait.
      • Optional - fishermen will use bait when it’s available.
      • Only With Bait - fishermen will not fish when no bait is available.

Some of the rewards mentioned above have been added to existing upgrades, causing some of them to be moved around in the upgrade tree. A detailed description of all the changes can be found below in the Balance section of this changelog.
