Patch notes (V0.5.0.1375)
The latest patch is now available from Humble Bundle! Here are the patch notes.
Mechanical changes
- All ship's equipment now counts as Goods (but doesn't use up Hold space when equipped). It can only be swapped out in dock, not at sea.
- More sound effects, including a mournful bell on the buoys
- Ship moves, ah, more slowly backwards than forwards
- You should now be able to recruit more crew straight away when you purchase a new ship
- Your ship can no longer move without an engine
- Tidied most of the placeholders out of the way to reduce confusion
- The Journal page layout has now been updated
- Various improvements to terrain textures (most notability in Boreal Reach)
- Placeholder tiles are now empty rather than having grey placeholders
- Story interface improved to remove unnecessary white space
- Improved combat music
- Variant beastie combat AI
- ...the usual tweaks, optimisations and bug fixes
Content changes
- More combat balance changes! Look out for Wild Salvos and the Flank Speed! action
- You may now leave your Lodgings to your heir, if you make a Will or if you retire gracefully
- You may install Heirlooms in your lodgings to leave to your heirs
- The Admiralty Dockyard is now open, for cheaper repairs if you're in good odour; and all repairs are noticeably cheaper
- Zee-beasts will no longer Observe you
- In extremis, you may consume Zzoup.
