Monday - June 21st 2021 - 1.36.11 will be released to the live campaign server around 3-4PM Server Time (expect minimal downtime around then).

Version 1.36.11.0 re-introduces two critical roadmap deliveries that have since been fine tuned and improved upon, which are
1) Bomber Loadouts and 2) Target Change for Mission Leaders. Stutters that were occurring when large quantities of bombs were being dropped have been cleaned up nicely thanks to a joint effort between our Development and Production teams, along with a pretty rigorous test cycle by our QA team.

The biggest change with this upate is the introduction of a new rating system called Glicko2.
New players will receive bigger changes for their rating while old players won't see big changes in their ratings anymore. It is more complicated than that but it means that losing against a new player won't make you lose many points while a new player can quickly climb the ranks if he wins enough matches against old players. If desired the displayed ranking can be changed back to ELO via the settings.


Changelog:

• New rating system introduced: Glicko2. It has better handling of new players and should result in more accurate ratings. The old ELO ratings are still calculated and can be shown instead of the new Glicko ratings via the settings.
  
• Due to the new rating system the ELO points had to be recalculated which might lead to some minor changes of the values.
  
• Fixed the text on the "Manage Mods" button in the settings.
  
• The 17x17 chalk board now fits the screen again.
  
• Added three new layouts for 17x17 custom cariants.
  
• Fixed the display of draws in the move history and Hnefatafl 2000.
  
• You can now, via the Edit Profile menu, delete your account if desired.

- UI: You can now collapse the objectives as you can with the recommendations.
- Balance: Increased the time it takes for colonists' needs to reach the next stage from 5→8.
- Misc: Removed names from zones, carriages and depots. It was mostly cluttering the UI. Animals and colonists still have names of course. :)
- Misc: Donations are now disabled for the campaign mode. Getting random items can be confusing for newer players as it messes up the intended progression. They are still available for custom maps.
- Misc: Clarified and corrected the actor state tooltip regarding decorations and social buildings.
- Modding: MineableInfo→SpawnOnRemove can now be a comma-separated list of things.
- Modding: Added WorkshopRecipeInfo→AnimationOverride. Use this to have different workshop animations for different output products. (Experimental/untested)
- Fixed: Double foundations when building piers.
- Fixed: Removed the automatic smelter target from story mission 4.
- Fixed: Tooltip & encyclopaedia entry for items like logs that are obtained from plants.
- Fixed: You can no longer deconstruct your starting ship.

Hi Everyone!

Today we have bit of a two-for-one post about seasons in the game and also the playable characters.

First up we have the main character, originally we only had the character seen in the trailers but due to popular demand we've expanded that roster to four playable characters. We understand that player's want a character that resembles themselves to really immerse themselves in the world, so we hope you enjoy the ones we've come up with below.



We pride ourselves on empowering the player to play however they want, so when overwhelming feedback came in for more characters we just couldn't resist! Do you think we should add even more? Let us know what you'd like to see and it could make a great update!

Next up is the seasons. We wanted to give the player a new experience and went back to the drawing board to see if we could improve one of the fundamental core features of the farming genre.

Typically, farming games will have North American style seasons of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. But we've all played that before right? So isn't there anything else we can do? Well a lot of the real world is broken up into wet and dry seasons and we thought that would be a great place to start. We wanted to add variety as well so we added a third season into the mix known as the dark season. And on top of that we shortened the seasons down to 21 days a piece, instead of the genre standard of 28, so player's can see more in less time.



We found that having three extremely visually distinct seasons really added to the mystery and flavor of the game and made the experience unique.

This game was made to be charming, surprising, fun, and customizable and so the seasons are no different. We hope you have enjoyed this post and we look forward to your feedback!
