Update v1.2.3:

Large late-game settlements run more smoothly

 

The game needs noticeably less video memory

 

A quest with all its goals done now completes right away

 

Chapter 3: choosing "Give up the Seed" in "Sorago's ultimatum" no longer ends the game - Valfidis talks you out of it and you can pick again

 

Isolation points in Chapter 3 no longer burn out on day 22, and the attempt on Valfidis's life happens even when Isolation is in the lead

 

Chapter 4: the "Obtain information by force" quest no longer gets stuck if you captured the outpost earlier

 

The far patrol point from Chapter 4 no longer appears in Chapter 1 and stays visible after you explore the refugees

 

Chapter 5: the "Evacuation" quest no longer completes by itself, and the refugee ship arrives on time

 

The side quest failure window shows how many resources you will really lose

 

Saves from the new demo now open in the full game, and if you finished the prologue in the original demo, the main menu has a "Skip Prologue" button

 

Citizens no longer get stuck at one of the stairs up the Great Tree and starve there

 

Patients of a demolished hospital go back to work, and citizens' needs no longer freeze if they leave a building early

 

Citizens without a home or job now also wander onto the new sections of expanded platforms

 

A citizen who goes mad in a zipline cabin now rides on to the station instead of teleporting

 

After a building is upgraded, its shifts get as many slots as the new level provides

 

In buildings with Walkers, switching a shift to 8 or 12 hours no longer hires extra workers

 

Flameguards now cure the contamination ghosts leave on buildings on platforms

 

The "Building destroyed" notification no longer shows up by mistake, and empty Fungus Colonies are left out of the problems panel

 

After the prologue, no leftover roads remain on the Great Tree to get in your way in Chapter 1

 

Rangers on fishing duty cast their nets into the water instead of at their own feet

 

The "Eye" button on the Luminaris panel works: the beam follows a scout group

 

The Luminaris can no longer be aimed into the Great Tree's crown above its cabin, and its beams work again after it is rebuilt

 

The Townhall's Heroes tab now shows the assigned hero's portrait and description right away

 

The hero ability radius is now visible in the fog too, and tooltips for the hero portrait no longer hide under the build menu

 

A Skywalker unloading at port can be sent straight to a Sorago outpost - to form an alliance, trade or build a network, and its card shows what it is busy with

 

The pack warning appears as soon as a pack targets your settlement, not a couple of hours before the raid

 

Two Skywalkers in a patrolling pack's region fight it one after the other, and a defeated pack no longer intercepts anyone

 

The "?" hint in the outpost window describes it, and numbers in choice hints stay on the same line as their words

 

Settings include resolutions for ultrawide screens and multi-monitor setups, and the picture is no longer stretched

The Build button on the Townhall's Platforms tab stays available as long as there is something to build or upgrade

Resources in prices follow the same order as on the resource panel, and numbers sit next to their icons

 

The pause menu now has its own sound

 

The Duskwalker no longer flickers in the smoke as it appears, and neither does the Reflector when you zoom out

 

Update v1.2.2:

The new Tutorial window opens with the book button in the top bar, in the settlement and on the Global Map: you can reread any hint you have already seen, sorted by section and with search, and the game pauses while you read

 

The "Repair the mechanism in the crown of the Great Tree" quest explains its goals more clearly, reminds you of the deadline and no longer ends in defeat: if time runs out, it gets fixed without you, but fear rises

 

The "Stockpile resources" quest shows how many rations you already have to hand in and gives you 28 hours to do it, so Chapter 1 no longer stalls

 

Quests that are ready to hand in move to the top of the list

 

A quest with all its goals completed no longer fails on its timer while a story event is playing

 

Story Skywalker flights no longer halt the story: quests, windows and saves stop waiting forever for a ship

 

The Sorago ship now leaves if you fail to pay it off, and the Sorago refugees in Chapter 3 arrive only once

 

Chapter 4: the Sorago negotiations fork now has fallback outcomes, so the story moves on after the talks, and quests from the other branch never start

 

Chapter 4: the Shroud on the Global Map no longer covers every region for three days

 

Chapter 5: the Skywalker swarms in the "Dominion in the skies" quest are back, and each goal counts only its own swarm

 

Skywalkers no longer get stuck at "0 minutes": a Global Map event now waits until other windows are closed, and a second click on an option does not double damage and fear

 

After loading a save, a Point of Interest whose Skywalker was already destroyed or recalled no longer closes without a reward: you can send another ship

 

An option in a choice event now applies only once and closes its own window rather than another one

 

Scouts sent against a monster now drive it away without a fight and come back, and duplicate exploration points in Chapter 1 no longer keep them from returning

 

The Scouts Building can now be moved, and hired squads transfer to the new location

 

Upgrading an outpost from level 3 to 4 works again, and a double click no longer charges you twice or removes the Sorago trade offer

 

Saves are now written to a separate folder first: if the game crashes mid-save, your previous save is restored automatically

 

Saves from a renamed or copied folder load again, and a broken slot no longer prevents you from loading another one

 

An autosave that falls during a story event is no longer lost and is written right after it ends, and the inactive "Save" button now has a hint

 

If an error occurs, the rest of the simulation keeps running: time, construction and citizens no longer freeze until you reload

 

While you type a save name or a bug report, keys no longer move the camera or change the game speed, and the game stays paused while that window is open

 

Walker extensions now correctly reduce the number of workers per shift, and after moving a building, no ghostly previews of them stay at the old spot

 

The building window now closes when you click elsewhere or right-click, and the browsing arrows also work while it is being upgraded

 

Cancelling construction on the Great Tree no longer breaks a road crossed by its staircase

 

Wind, water and fog sounds no longer go silent until you reload when a citizen or an item disappears from the game

 

The city renders faster: trees, rocks, roads and building parts are drawn more efficiently, and the grass on Kaleyards is drawn in batches

 

The fog in the settlement now sits exactly within its borders, creeps forward in billows and puts less load on your graphics card

 

The Luminaris beam is visible above the fog again all the way to its target

 

Ghosts put much less load on the CPU at higher game speeds

 

Fixed texts shown in the wrong language in the German, French, Polish and Chinese versions, and the platform hints now have clear titles

 

Plus some twenty fixes for errors the game reported to us on its own: after loading saves, in event and building windows, with structure sounds, on the Global Map and at high game speed

 

Update v1.2.1:

The camera no longer keeps rotating on its own once you let go of Q/E, even with the cursor over the interface

 

The mouse wheel zooms smoothly toward the point under the cursor, and the camera rotates around whatever is in the center of the screen: a platform on the Great Tree or the ground

 

Keyboard camera movement has the same speed at any zoom level: it no longer crawls when zoomed out or overshoots buildings up close

 

Jumping to an event from notifications and panels smoothly brings the camera to the target and zooms in

 

The Home key returns the camera from the top-down view anywhere on the map

 

On the global map, the camera moves faster when zoomed out

 

In older saves, the camera is free again and no longer tied to the Great Tree

 

Quest windows, events and dialogues wait until you have placed a building, road or platform, and autosaves no longer cancel it

 

Game time no longer freezes at 7:00 and 22:00, and a stuck save recovers on its own with the next autosave

 

Walkers gather resources reliably again instead of standing idle

 

The shifts panel no longer breaks when switching between buildings with and without a Walker

 

The Treechewer model now changes after an upgrade

 

Chapter 4: if the Luminaris beam aimed at Sorago goes out, the Diplomat sends a note and gives you time to fix it - fear no longer builds up silently

 

Chapter 4: after the last group of refugees, the obligation to keep the beam on Sorago is lifted

 

Chapter 4: after failing the book quest, the "Next step" marker disappears from the global map

 

Chapter 4: shooting down the Ghost Skywalker now leaves a crash site on the global map

 

Citizens no longer retreat to a watchtower that isn't there

 

An unfinished watchtower no longer starts working after loading a save

 

Citizen and monster behavior is restored correctly when loading a save

 

The Shroud puts noticeably less load on your graphics card, and platforms on the Great Tree now have simplified models for distant views

 

Bug reports now include crash data from the past week, which helps us find the cause faster

  Production and consumption dynamics graph with a detailed per-point tooltip

  Dismantling buildings and mycelium are no longer listed in the problems panel as buildings without workers

 

  Fixed a bug with repairing the skywalkers pier

 

  Removed an incorrect "no resources" notification for the farm

 

  Notification sounds are no longer audible in the credits after finishing the game; game ticks are properly paused on victory

 

  Fixed the text field size in the fear tooltip on the global map

 

  Production and consumption data now initializes correctly for older saves

 

Fixed quick access to the Skywalker Shipyard - the button would not activate if the player had no skywalkers

 

Fixed hungry villagers in Chapter 4 - during mass starvation they would get stuck at the Council building and starve to death, causing a sharp spike in Fear

 

Fixed the highlight frames in the work shifts tutorial

 

Fixed skywalkers freezing on missions - the timer would stop at 0 minutes remaining and the mission would never complete
