Hello Shopkeepers! Happy 2025!

We hope you all had a good end to last year and are starting with an even better 2025!
We took some time to rest and are excited to be back with another update.

• Quest NPCs will now come to your shop
  
• Outposts can now send raids after you clear them
  
• You can now ping enemies remaining in an outpost one by one
  
• More outposts now feature rewards for clearing them

Once you complete quests for various NPCs, they can appear at your shop as customers!



These special customers have additional patience for your shop and some fairly large wallet sizes, so accumulating them should give you a small but welcome boost to the quality of your clientele.

Not every quest NPC can be a customer yet, but most NPCs associated with the main quest can. A few of our favorites from side quests will show up, too.

We plan on adding this functionality to more NPCs, so if you have a favorite character you want to see at your shop, let us know!

The NPCs available in this update are:

• Tayada
  
• Mayor Yori
  
• Captain Latch
  
• Andrei Barnaby
  
• Aiden Kingsmithy
  
• Jones Fishingman
  
• Freda McQuillan
  
• Chef Pippo
  
• Ambrosia
  
• Cassandra Gale
  
• Samantha Cole
  
• Senhi Hideta

This was one of our earlier ideas when we started implementing the main quest into the game.
For various reasons, it didn't make it into the build until now, but we think it adds a nice connection between the story and your shop progress.



If you have already completed the associated quest for these characters, they should unlock automatically when you load your save on this update and start showing up at your store.


Right now, these special customers can be a bit rare to spawn, but you can change that by asking them to come to your shop!

Once you complete the associated quest for these characters, most will have a dialogue option where you can invite them to your shop.



Once you do, they will show up at the next shop you go to (or choose from one of your shops if you have friends running them in multiplayer).

So if you're ever low on customers, or just want one of these characters to drop by your shop, head over to them and just ask!


In update 14.4.0, we added an experimental feature where you could see your progress for clearing out enemy outposts, receive a reward when defeating all the enemies in the outpost, and see how long until the outpost was reinforced and refilled with enemies.

In that update, we only added this feature to 3 outposts so we could try out the feature and get feedback on it.
You all seem to really like that mechanic, and we do too! So, we decided to add it to this update.

One of this mechanic's biggest shortcomings was not finding the last few enemies in the outpost to clear it.
To address that, we've added this ping button that will appear once you've cleared more than 60% of the outpost.



Pressing it will ping one of the remaining enemies so you can hunt them down.
To ping the next enemy, you have to wait until the previous one is dead and their body has despawned, so you probably can't just spam pings and kill enemies, but this should help direct you to the next group or straggling enemy if you get stuck.

We also added the ability for the enemy factions to attack you in retaliation for clearing their outposts.

Every outpost that shows clear progress and gives a reward for completing it has a percentage chance to have the faction who owns that outpost send a retaliatory raid.
The chance of a raid and the size of that raid depends on the size and strength of the outpost you clear.

If you trigger a raid, you will see this Raid Incoming tag under the outpost UI once you clear it and the reward is spawned.


The raid will come after you in the next few hours in-game, so you can try to prepare wherever you are, or you can go back to your shop or base to hunker down behind some turrets and spikes.



Because this mechanic introduces additional attacks that can target you and your shop, we understand not everyone will want to play with it enabled. So turning off the Peaceful Shop setting will completely disable these raids from spawning.

This setting was previously named Peaceful Nights as it also turns off nighttime attacks from ghouls, but we renamed it this week for these new outpost raids as they can occur during the day.

With these new additions to our outpost clearing mechanic, we have also added functionality to more outposts throughout the world.



In addition to the 3 original outposts with the mechanic, we're adding 9 more outposts that track your clearing progress and provide rewards (and raids) when completed.

8 of these outposts are Outlaw controlled in the Wetlands. This area should be an even cooler place to adventure and fight with all the outposts concentrated around the environment.
We also added the functionality to the small Ronin outpost on the southern edge of the Shepherd Ruins, as new players commonly frequent it.



We hope you enjoy clearing these outposts, reaping the rewards, and fighting off the forces that the Outlaws and Ronin send after you for revenge!

We introduced the scrap all button back in update 14.3.0 and have enjoyed being able to quickly scrap loot that we don't want.

However, the downside of this button is when it is pressed accidentally and ends up scrapping gear you actually do want, either in an enemy death box or in one of your own containers.

To help avoid this issue and give you all a little more peace of mind, we've introduced a hold to confirm functionality to this button.
You can either hold the button on the UI or the keybinding to scrap the contents of the container you're interacting with.



We tried to dial in the timing so it doesn't slow down quick looting too much but will still give you enough time to stop pressing it if you hit it by mistake.

We made this feature live earlier this week alongside some of the more pressing code fixes in the full patch notes below, so you may have already tried it!

The prologue is the first impression of the game for a lot of players, so we're continually working to improve it and ensure players are smoothly introduced to Saleblazers.

Over the past couple of weeks, we've been working on overhauling the lighting in the prologue level to look nicer, better match the open world, and perform better.




In patch v0.14.8.15, we introduced the long-awaited cosmetic slot options so you can equip something stylish without sacrificing the stats of the gear underneath.

We asked to see some of your character creations using this feature on our Discord, and it's been great to see everyone's outfits.


From left to right, we have characters from Sei, KatVet, eaglescout, and Recette.

if you have a cool character you want to show off, please post it in the #characters showcase channel in the Discord. Thanks everyone for sharing!

We've got a few new loading screen tips to add to this update. Take note of the knowledge they bring!

• Wanna run faster? Equip a pocket knife and drink some coffee! -Anonymous
  
• Stay curious. There might be a rune behind the waterfall. -Anonymous

Hi everyone! The macOS version of Lifecraft, supporting both Apple Silicon and Intel is finally here. It should play exactly like before, just on a different system!

If you notice any issue, please let us know on Discord, just like always.

Meanwhile, we’re continuing to work on hatching mechanics to defend against bacteria, boost your defenses by growing them, and prepare for future threats.

We'll post soon more updates regarding that.

In theory, the issue (of the demo not opening) has been resolved! If you still can't open the game, first try Verifying the Integrity of Game Files. If the issue persists, or if you have feedback about the Demo, contact me directly via email at dev.brunoperes@gmail.com

Sorry for the inconvenience! I spent all of yesterday trying to fix this.

That said, welcome to the new update!

Hello! I am still trying to balance out the late game but have made lots of improvements in the meantime that I wish to provide in this update.

• Implemented button for automatic work slot reassignment, automatically reassigns units with the best skills paired to their best job, starting with mineral skills, agricultural skills then to buildings that skills have no effect (Locked work slots will not be affected by pressing automatic sort).
  
• Implemented search function for production options
  
• Implemented toggle for showing all building status in bars floating above them.
  
• Updated battle panel to show more info on top of units (toggle).
  
• Updated overworld resource icons to be more visible.
  
• Added toggle for overworld icons.
  
• Updated fight icon to appear when units are fighting so player knows more intuitively where to click to bring up the fight menu.
  
• Redid Home building UI.
  
• Added Unit List UI.
  
• Edited standard unit menu to include health.
  
• Created loading screen.
  
• Edited help menu.
  
• Updated work building menus.
  
• Added floating red text damage for battles.
  
• Added day counter.
  
• Can hover over battle damage recap to show outline of units that attacked and defended for that entry.
  
• Added Player unit count and Enemy unit count to top of combat UI.
  
• Added dust effect to spawners being destroyed.

• Implemented guilds auto training option, upon reaching max skill level of 10, a unit learning from a guild will then seek to swap places with a unit with a skill lower than them, that is occupying a slot using that guild's skill.
  
• Implemented max amount of item allowed to produce option (based upon warehouse storage).
  
• Changed tier 3+ buildings to change tiles beneath them to stone instead of dirt.
  
• Changed top right unit counter to be switchable between several settings (homeless, unemployed, drafted).
  
• Changed overworld to have a larger low tier enemy area.
  
• Market stall queues doubled - market stalls now call more units to them so they don't wander for as long before lining up.
  
• Made roads box select placement.
  
• Added more sounds for different unit actions.
  
• Added different BGM for tier 3 and 4.
  
• Less daily loss of satisfaction if item not bought.
  
• Changed production options to have an output only icon and grid.
  
• Add floating icon to an item finishing in production.
  
• Extended when unit would request a broken combat item to be replaced.

• Fixed some units waiting outside work buildings and refusing to work after load.
  
• Fixed battle UI would flicker between ongoing battles.
  
• Units will properly capture nodes they are just walking by and not stopping at if no enemy is present.

• Added medium and large farm versions of the current small farms.

• Decreased speed of berry and flax production.
  
• Added medium and large quarries.
  
  
• Added Steam Achievements
  
• Implemented repeating technologies.
  
• Added forestry and berry farm buildings.

A lot of the changes were made with letting the player know at a glance what is happening or just making things easier to find or do.

I had avoided adding a forestry building to produce wood because I wanted the player to rely on capturing nodes in the overworld to provide that resource. I could not make this work cleanly in gameplay so decided to add one after all.

Fraymakers Api Types Plugin v0.3.8

· https://github.com/Fraymakers/api-types-plugin/releases/tag/0.3.8[/url]

Build 1.0.75717 brings several adjustments to the Stable Branch based on player feedback. Difficulty settings have been renamed to better differentiate between preset modes and custom configurations, with custom settings now clearly displayed in-game, along with a breakdown of their individual components.

Crowning ambitions have been expanded, offering more choices in events to increase the variety and make ambition victories easier to achieve. The Grand Vizier role has been reworked: they now serve as governors in cities without a named governor, focusing solely on production management in those locations. This simplifies their function while aligning with their intended purpose.

Other changes include updates to war declaration missions, improved AI decision-making, UI improvements for tooltips and notifications, and a wide range of bug fixes addressing issues with events, ambitions, and gameplay scenarios.

• Difficulty Settings Renamed: Difficulty settings were renamed to make the difference between presets and individual settings clearer. Settings outside the preset are now shown as 'Custom' difficulty in the game with a breakdown of the individual settings.
