Greetings medievalists!

Are you enjoying the latest update? There is still so much to do, but the team is ready for those new challenges.

As this post will get a bit personal, I’ll separate it into two segments. TL:DR and Detailed Explanation.

TLDR: The team is working hard on the next update, but due to personal circumstances, communication will be quiet from Foxy Voxel's side for about two months on all of the channels. If needed, patches and fixes will be deployed, but once the game is stable, the team will direct their focus on Update #10. If you are experiencing frequent major crashes and inability to start the game, feel free to write us over at support[at]foxyvoxel[dot]io . The team may not respond, but giving as much information on crash occurrence is appreciated (was the trade initiated, raid started, maybe some production selection - the more the merrier). We usually get crash occurrences when they happen, but sometimes our reporting tool misses them. Be sure to send Player.log file after the crash (located here: %userprofile%\appdata\locallow\Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval\ ) and one save file (we just need one relevant .sav located here: %userprofile%\appdata\locallow\Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval\VillageSaves ). Thanks!

For reporting regular issues, please use the in-game reporting tool (F10 -it's located in-game in the upper right corner of the screen). If you need tips and tricks and general advice on certain game’s systems, join our Discord server. We have a super nice community that is always willing to help. Be kind, be just and have fun.ːsteamhappyː

Detailed Explanation: The team will be quiet because I’ll be away for at least two months due to health issues. If you’ve been experiencing bugs and reporting them on Steam, Discord, Twitter or mail, there is a huge chance that the dev person who responded to you was me.

Normally, we don’t share personal information or life experiences here, since it should be about the game and its development. In this case, the development was intertwined with personal life, so that is why I am making this post. For the last 8 years, I’ve been struggling with multiple sclerosis. You can read more about it here if you are interested, but the short answer is it is a disease that can cause a lot of problems, the biggest one related to mobility. That’s also my biggest gripe - I am in my mid thirties and I can barely walk (EDSS 6.5). Over the last few years I’ve tried a bunch of things to prevent the disease progression, to no effect. By all accounts, my MS is an aggressive progressive type, so that’s where things get trickier.

There is one treatment that has about 65-75% chances of stopping the disease but it is super expensive by the standards of our country and health insurance doesn’t cover it. Thanks to the success of Going Medieval, the rest of the team, and your love and support for Going Medieval, I can afford this treatment. It is basically a stem cell treatment supported by chemotherapy. It’s a bit on the invasive side, but to tell you the truth - I don’t have any other options and I accept all of the risks. This explains why I’ll not be able to continue communications on our channels in that period.

I also don’t want to put that obligation on the rest of the team - we’re still a pretty small team and each member is working on a multitude of areas at the same time, but rest assured that the content is being/will be made. There's a chance that the team will do a mini-update with some small QoL stuff while I'm away. Keep your eyes on Steam announcements, because patching of the game will also continue. If everything goes well, sometime in September, you can expect new Medieval Monday Talk, one way or the other. We’re testing some very interesting stuff, but more on that in the proper time.

I also want to thank you, the players. Even from my own experience as a gamer, I know how some social media platforms for other games, like steam discussions, can get hectic. I am happy that we have a healthy community here, and because of that, you make my job much easier.

And to add to that, here is the latest spotlight of settlements made by our Discord community:



(Seriously, join our Discord. A bunch of cool people are there)

So, I am not asking for pity, nor doing a sob story just for the sake of it (I am well aware that there are worse cases than mine and that I am fortunate enough to afford this) - I am asking for patience. Going Medieval is not going anywhere. There is still so much to be done, and we are here for it. We will be here for it. Going Medieval is only going to get better.

With that being said, I am signing off. We’ll talk in September. Until then…

Stay Medieval!

Greetings medievalists! The newest patch (0.14.19) is now live on all platforms. Please save your progress and restart your game client to update. You should be able to load normally and continue playing. If you have any problems, please let us know.

• Fixed the issue that made some buildings invisible after trebuchet damage.
  
• Fixed the strange issue where rooms underground that had rooms over them would heat up much more than intended.
  
• Fixed the issue where a terrace part of the room would not be heated (if you have a multi level room with some floors on the side as a terrace).
  
• Fixed the issue were the option “prioritize carry to bed” upon right-clicking on the fainted settler would not appear in some scenarios.
  
• Fixed the issue where construction of certain buildings would be ignored because settlers wanted to build certain hay constructions, but would lack hay resources to do so.
  
• Fixed the issue that prevented domestic cats going through doors.
  
• Fixed some minor text issues.

Greetings medievalists!

The new major update, titled “Environment Effects Overhaul" (0.14.13) is now live on Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG! All the fixes and improvements from the experimental branch are now stable, tested, and present in this update! These include: temperature overhaul and its effect on flora, fauna and settlers, ladders, updated environmental effects, and much more!

Watch the video below to see the update’s highlights and if you want to go into more detail, check beneath the video for the full patch notes:



But first, for an optimal user experience, we suggest that you:

Please note: if you are using unofficial mods you might experience crashes or even an inability to start the game. If this occurs, turn the mods off before starting the game. If the problem persists, be sure to delete all of the folders in the steamapps\common\Going Medieval and then verify the game files. This solution will also work if you haven't played the game in a long time and for some reason, the game doesn't want to start,

Now, on to the update - we’ll separate it into different segments:


Look at the settlement after toggling Heatmap Overlay

Temperature is calculated a bit more realistically, now. Heat sources will heat up the nodes around them and their distribution allows for a proper flow through open doors and windows and even levels. Temperature spread can be checked via the “Heatmap Overlay” button, located in the upper left corner of the screen. Here’s some noteworthy info:

• Almost everything can be a heat source now - humans, animals, piles, trees, even ground. Some are bigger heat sources than others, and putting them together in a room might lead to maintained warm temperatures.
  
• Opening doors and windows when it’s cold outside will flow in the cold air.
  
• Temperature can accumulate over time, so a closed-up room with high insulation will keep getting warmer with time.
  
• Braziers now have 3 levels of heating (low, medium, and high) which will influence their fuel consumption. The default setting is medium and changing to another level is instant.
  
• Settlers will not choose idle/eating/sleeping locations that are outside of the comfortable temperature (-8 to 34C).
  
• Beds located in temperatures outside of the comfortable range will be disabled.
  
• Map type influences temperature. Mountain maps have colder summers and winters, while valley winters are milder by comparison.

It's worth mentioning that this also means that ice blocks will never lower the temperature of the storage beyond 0C, no matter how many ice blocks you have. Food will eventually rot, as all food does, but with the proper setup, you can preserve them for a long time.

One of the things that influence the temperature is the sunlight, another factor we’ve worked on.


Shadow effect. Healthy tree (left) offers effective shadow, while the dead tree (right) doesn't

Previously, sunlight was just cosmetic with no effect on the environment. We’ve turned it into an active system that is influenced and influences other features. Notable info:

• Sunlight provides a heating effect.
  
• Settlers will get heat stroke when in the sun for a long period of time. Having certain apparel, like a wide hat on their head, will help protect them from the heat stroke effect.
  
• Sunlight’s strength is determined by the angle of the sun.
  
• Shadows created by sunlight will offer cooler spots.
  
• During winter, the shadows of dead trees will not affect temperature change.
  
• Sunlight bouncing off the materials will create diffuse light. This allows for plant growth within inside areas but can also be observed in-game. Speaking of flora growth…

Plants can be grown indoors but may become stunted

Most plants in the early phases need sunlight in order to not grow into stunted versions of those plants. Stunted plants are smaller in appearance and will yield fewer resources. Different flora types have different rules for becoming stunted, but we’ll cover just one here (we’ll leave the rest to you, as a part of the discovery process).

If the cabbage goes from the growing to the grown phase with sunlight accumulation under 50%, it will be stunted. If the sunlight accumulation reaches 0%, the plant will start to lose HP. Sunlight amount represents the number of rays hitting the plant. If that amount is 0%, the plant will grow at 25% of its usual speed. Accumulation influences its health, while amount influences its growth speed.

A tree becomes stunted if it:

1. Is surrounded by more than 2 x walls.
   
2. Has more than 2x trees around them (the player needs to sow them row by row in order to make the most out of the tree sowing now.
   
3. Has a roof or floor immediately over it in the layer above.

Here are other important things to know about sunlight’s influence on plants:

• Dead and Mature trees, along with mushrooms, don’t need sunlight to continue growing.
  
• Plants can be sown under roofs and in caves now.

There is one other change worth mentioning in regard to sunlight, and that is…


Angle of the sun varies depending on the season now

We’ve mentioned before how we wanted a day and night cycle to somewhat mimic real life when it comes to season changes. Here is some info that might help you along the way:

• In the summertime, the sun will rise around 4 AM and go down around 9 PM.
  
• During the winter season, sunrise will occur around 8 AM and sunset around 3 PM.
  
• The angle of the sun is dictated by the seasons.
  
• The 6th of Winter will be the longest night in the game.
  
• The 6th of Summer will have the longest day in the game.

If you want more control over the sun’s angle, find MapTypes.json and change the "sunAngle" and “moonAngle” there, along with day and night temperatures. In there, you can also make the map type and enforce the season to your liking (basically, if you want a custom map that only has a summer season with the sun position at 90 degrees, this is where you can do it).

Another neat thing we’ve added are new environmental effects.


Overall look of the game is improved

Of all the features in Update #9, environmental effects bare minimal consequences on the gameplay. They do, however, make our game super pretty! Just look at the grass - look how rich it looks compared to the old version. But we didn’t stop there. Behold:

• Dirt paths. Walking over the ground frequently will turn it into dirt. Don’t worry, grass grows over time, now. Its speed is influenced by seasons, so it will not grow in winter but during the fall, the growing process will be slowed.
  
• Rain effectors. These occur if settlers stand in the rain for too long. They’ll get negative effectors and modified comfortable temperatures while in the rain. Standing under a roof will result in them getting dry and losing these effects.
  
• Wetness. Now, when the rain falls, the ground will accumulate some water that will appear as puddles. This puddle will slowly dry up, and the ground around heat sources will dry up faster. Immersion!
  
• Snow accumulation. Snow now accumulates while the snow falls. This also means that when settlers and animals walk over snowy areas, they’ll leave trails behind them and snow on the ground will melt. Snow will melt faster in areas with higher temperatures. 80% of its melted parts will turn into wetness. Wetness will not dry up where there is snow over it.

Now it's the perfect time to mention a new structure type that will handle some of the things mentioned above.


Wicker grated floor (left) and Metal grated floor (right)

We’ve added two new floor types: wicker grated floors and metal grated floors.

• These floors are walkable and behave almost the same as regular floors.
  
• They let rain and sun through as well as snow.
  
• They allow for an easier temperature flow from lower levels.
  
• They keep hail from damaging plants.
  
• Settlers and enemies can shoot bows and crossbows through them.

And while we’re on the subject of buildings, let’s talk about the thing that will be a game changer for many (according to the discussions here on Steam forums).


The look of the ladders depending on their constructed position

Ladders are voxel elements (like walls), that allow traversal between two layers. They can be built anywhere (in allowed space), can be stacked up with one another, and can be built adjacent to floors, walls, doors, and windows.

• They are instantly available with no research needed.
  
• Can’t be placed under beams, floors, walls, and roofs and can’t have beams, floors, roofs, or walls placed over them.
  
• Can’t be climbed from the “back” side.
  
• Climbing them results in a slower movement, so when it comes to settlers' pathfinding, they might look for a longer path for traversal in certain scenarios.
  
• Cats, polecats, and rats can climb the ladders.

While on ladders, settlers can:

• Deliver resources to blueprints.
  
• Build.
  
• Fight.
  
• Refuel buildings/furniture.
  
• Pick up/Equip items.
  
• Lock/unlock doors.
  
• Open/close windows.
  
• Take wounded people to bed.

While on ladders, settlers can’t:

• Rope animals if that animal can’t go up the ladders.

Here is what you need to know when it comes to fighting:

• One-handed weapons are 20% slower and their damage is 20% reduced when hitting from ladders.
  
• Two-handed weapons are 40% slower and their damage is 20% reduced when hitting from ladders.
  
• Settlers with ranger weapons will switch to melee when on ladders.
  
• Settlers with shields will put them on their back when climbing ladders.
  
• Landing a successful critical strike will result in a settler/enemy falling down from ladders.
  
• Some weapons, like the billhook, have an increased chance of doing critical when the attacker is on a ladder.

An example of multi-selection and editing in action
• Selecting and editing multiple storage and fuel structures is finally enabled. Keep in mind that the slider and the dropdown menu that appears will always be of the last one selected. The name will appear as “-” and changing it will give all the structures the same name. Also, the multi-selection will only show common resources/options of those structures.
  
• Multiple brazier selection will now show the thermal intensity of the last selected brazier (same as in refuel priority).
  
• The trough is a different structure type now. They work as refillable structures and settlers will refill them if they have under 40% of the food. You can now refill them with a right click.
  
• Refilling troughs is now considered an animal job, instead of a hauling job like before (because of the bullet point above).
  
• Settlers will take as many resources as they need to refuel several refillable buildings.
  
• If a settler starts to construct/farm on a voxel that has a pile on it, that pile would teleport to the free nearby space. Before, settlers would have to do that kind of pile relocation manually which would slow down gameplay and cause some annoyances.
  
• Animals getting hit have been animated.
  
• 99% of sounds have been overhauled. Footsteps, animal sounds, and every production will emit sound from time to time. This also applies to UI, environment, and a lot of other things. Listen!
  
• All items, except the ones acquired from enemies and trade, have “Made by” info.
  
• Text will pop up if a settler changes status with a different settler, along with the reason why it occurred (eg. When they become rivals, it might say that the reason was an unpleasant conversation). The same principle is applied to the change of religious alignment.
  
• More text events are added for changing friendships and religious alignment. Here are some actions that might trigger them: Playing backgammon at the same table, eating at the same table, sleeping in the same room, eating/consuming/using a thing someone else made, seeing someone butcher/cook/eat human meat, seeing someone fail at construction/harvest/cutting/mining, seeing someone’s piece of art on the wall, seeing a drunken settle.
  
• If the following things happen there is a chance that the settler will get a reaction that will change or modify their religious alignment: Losing a friend during a natural event (hailstorm, thunderstorm, blight, heatwave, cold snap), If a settler is drunk, if a raid is won/lost, if a settler makes a flimsy item, if a settler makes a flawless item.
  
• The decay of certain items has been slowed down. Ice melting and carcass decomposition are slower now.
  
• Carcasses of wild animals are forbidden by default now if those animals die of old age.
  
• If a forbidden carcass turns into bones, that bone pile will be forbidden by default.
  
• Added tooltip info for ice blocks explaining that ice can’t cool down a room under 0C.
  
• Walls have a grass effect in their base (bottom part) if they are placed on a grassy surface.
  
• More information has been added to the decomposing/rot and fermenting UI. Those are represented by colored icons and explained a bit more when hovering over them.

• EGS achievements and overlay work as intended now.
  
• “Nothing Wasted” steam achievement is fixed. Some users reported that they couldn’t get it.
  
• Fixed the issue where you wouldn’t get new settlers and raids for a long time.
  
• Fixed the issue that caused the appearance of a weird graphic circle that impacted shadow appearance during the zooming in and out procedure.

• Settlers will not choose the closest production building (if there are more of the same type), but the one that has a production set first in the global list of productions.
  
• If your settlers are experiencing weird animations with some actions, be sure to cap the game's FPS in the game's options. Cap it to 60fps. If the issue persists, cap it at 30.

That would be all for the official update notes. New patches and improvements will be deployed accordingly. In the meantime, feel free to post your experience regarding the new update on Steam discussions. If you want more dynamic/direct communication - head over to our Discord server. Even though we might not reply, we are reading everything.

• Fixed the issue that showed forbidden books (Chronicles, Textbooks, Thesis) not located on shelves/stockpiles as available for research.
  
• Fixed some discrepancies between the almanac and the tooltip for winter clothes.
  
• Fixed all of the wrong/missing texts in-game.

• Decreased severity of Cold Snap events. Before, the temperature would be lowered to -40C, but now it’s between -14C and -17C.
  
• The coloring of temperature and beauty should be clearer. Now, 0C is blue, indicating coldness.
  
• Summers are 1C colder now.
  
• Ice blocks are colder now.
  
• Production buildings' heat is toned down.
  
• The decay of certain items has been slowed down. Ice melting and carcass decomposition are slower now.
  
• Cabbage growth has been slowed down by +1 day.
  
• Cats have proper ladder-climbing animation now.
  
• Carcasses of wild animals are forbidden by default now if those animals die of old age.
  
• If a forbidden carcass turns into bones, that bone pile will be forbidden by default.
  
• Added tooltip info for ice blocks explaining that ice can’t cool down a room under 0C.
  
• Multiple brazier selections will now show the thermal intensity of the last selected brazier (same as in refuel priority).

• Merchants in some cases idle around the edge of the map.
  
• New Settlers are coming rarely, even with the small number of people in your settlement.
  
• Settlers always use walking animation (the speed is still the same as before only the animation never swaps to running).
  
• Settlers will not rope animals through the regular doors. They will perform successful roping through gates.
  
• Settlers will not choose the closest production building (if there are more of the same type), but the one that has a production set first in the global list of productions.
  
• If your settlers are experiencing weird animations with some actions, be sure to cap the game's FPS in the game's options. Cap it to 60fps. If the issue persists, cap it at 30.

DISCLAIMERS:
⚠️ We decided to keep Dev version of the game on the experimental branch, and that means that a Dev log with red text will appear from time to time. This will help us get more info from your side when crashes and bug reports occur.
⚠️ Also, at the moment, the experimental and the main branch are very different. You should not play saves from the experimental branch on the main one as it can cause various bugs - please avoid doing this.

As always, use F10 and/or the experimental bug subforum for reporting experimental issues. Thank you!

Greetings players! The newest patch (0.14.8) is now live on all platforms on the experimental branch. Please save your progress and restart your game client to update. You should be able to load normally and continue playing. If you have any problems, please let us know.
For those that missed the full log of the new experimental update, you can find it here.

• Fixed stuttering on Large map size.
  
• Fixed the issue that caused plants to only grow at night and at a slower pace.
  
• Fixed the issue that caused in some cases old temperature ranges for seasons (eg. Before, during winter, the lowest temperature was -25 C. Now, the lowest temperature is -15C).
  
• Fixed the issue that caused that marked everything to “Outside” in the top right corner.
  
• Fixed the issue that caused the disappearance of paint animation on Easels.
  
• Fixed the issue that caused constructed wooden merlons to appear half-built.
  
• Fixed the issue that caused the appearance of heatmap in the area outside of the map.
  
• Added missing tooltips.

• Settlers can dig under ladders now.
  
• Grass can grow on rocky dirt and limestone voxels.
  
• All items, except the ones acquired from enemies and trade, have “Made by” info.
  
• Text will pop up if a settler changes status with a different settler, along with the reason why it occurred (eg. When they become rivals, it might say that the reason was an unpleasant conversation). The same principle is applied to the change of religious alignment.
  
• More text events are added for changing friendship and religious alignment. Here are some actions that might trigger them: Playing backgammon at the same table, eating at the same table, sleeping in the same room, eating/consuming/using a thing someone else made, seeing someone butcher/cook/eat human meat, seeing someone fail at construction/harvest/cutting/mining, seeing someone’s piece of art on the wall, seeing a drunken settle.
  
• If the following things happen there is a chance that the settler will get reaction that will change or modify their religious alignment: Losing a friend during natural event (hailstorm, thunderstorm, blight, heatwave, coldsnap), If a settler is drunk, if a raid is won/lost, if a settler makes a flimsy item, if a settler makes a flawless item.

• Settlers will not choose the closest production building (if there are more of the same type), but the one that has a production set first in the global list of productions.
  
• If your settlers are experiencing weird animations with some actions, be sure to cap the game's FPS in the game's options. Cap it to 60fps. If the issue persists, cap it at 30.
