July 18th, 2013 -- Ugly Baby Update -- CURING COW RODS

We spent the last two weeks asking a bunch of questions. What is the game missing? Is there really ever going to be a cure for male pattern baldness? Was that sandwich that I just ate from the fridge mine? No matter! You’re not interested in our thoughts, you’re interested in our progress!

FILEBROWSER: We’ve fixed the bug that forgets the last folder you visited. Sorry about that!

LEVEL CREATION: WHHHHHHHAT? Yes. Everyone has started putting their fingers into the pie that is level design over here. We thought, why not you too? We added City 5, and kept the uncompiled version of the file in there for you to mess around with it. Perhaps you’ll discover something that we haven’t. If you’re afraid of level design, or programming, or the possibility to change the world, then you can just play the level. As is. Without making it more awesome. That’s cool too.

To promote the launch of level creation, we’re going to give away an extra copy of the game to the first five creators that post a video of their level.

General
• When deciding what to eat/drink, gnomes account for nourishment value of food/drink along with distance.
• Added Gameplay option to adjust how much food/drink nourishment effects a gnome's decision. Moving the slider to 0 will cause gnomes to always pick the closest food/drink. When multiple options are equidistant, they will choose the best. Moving the slider to 100 will allow gnomes to travel much farther for the best food/drink. Default is 50.
• Allow grass to grow up or down 1 level
• Gnomes no longer try to maintain distance from squad members while training
Fixed
• Crash when completing Fill Hole and items are inside the hole.
• Performance issue with lots of unreachable jobs
• Sometimes falling down a 1 tile deep hole and immediately moving back out, ie enemies falling down a hatch and immediately teleporting back up to the top
• Liquids not updating properly when a tile is dug down that has liquid on it
• Ramps not properly being if trees or constructions were diagonally adjacent. This left invisible ramps causing tiles to not accept constructions, designations, etc.
• Tinker Benches not respecting assigned worker
• Being able to replace the floor underneath a sapling
• Food/drink HUD text not initializing red when a game is loaded with 0 food or drink
• Displaying a negative amount of gnomads arriving. Now it correctly displays 0
