Settlement

Release  v0.5  (24-01-2024)

- BIG CHANGE! To move from one level to another it is necessary to pass over the stony slopes (adjacent to the level changes). Consequently, OLD MAPS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE!

- The stony slopes are removable, to prevent access from the other levels.

- Mushrooms, raw meat and fish can be cooked and become food without the kitchen (low yield) .

- If there is a bed, it is used, and one rests better.

- Multiple audio channels are managed to play multiple sounds simultaneously.

- The people and animals behind the trees are barely visible.

- Autojob: never enabled for soldiers and archers.

- Autojob can be enabled/disabled during gameplay (in "Options page" on the main page).

- Hunting: the hunter goes in search of an animal to capture and turn into meat.

- Enemies: Gnomes come and steal resources. Only soldiers can attack them.

- Minerals are more abundant on lower difficulty levels.

- In Options page: option to show character strength bar only when < 50%

- Wheat is sown from seeds and no longer from other wheat.

- The resource containers can be dismantled to reuse them in other places.

- The "C" key centers on the (approximate) point of the settlement (no more on people 1).

- When searching for available resources, the closest one is chosen.

- New tile for the marble veins.

- Added information to the help section.

- Bug fix.

New release:

0.4

- Hunting: traps (set by the hunter). Trap management is (for now) simplified.

- Animals (hare and sheep).

- Sound on/off.

- New page: Order list (where you can view and delete them).

- The hardness of the rock affects the speed of excavation (i.e. digging in granite is much slower than digging in clay).

- If <follow> is enabled, is shown who is followed.

- Autojob: unemployed characters could automatically change job and take over pending orders (on/off set in option page).

- Fixed a bug: error when selecting for <follow> a character that does not exist.

0.3

- Fishing. Raw fish must be cooked in the kitchen to become food.

- Hunger. If there is no food to eat, characters loose energy (depends on the level of the selected difficulty).

- If the energy of people decreases, the time required to complete work increases. 

- Tree planting. The farmer plants new trees, which later become large (the tree, not the farmer) and can be cut down.

- Charcoal kiln. The woodcutter builds a charcoal kiln using 3 logs, and after a few days 3 coal is obtained.
