Hammerting est un jeu de simulation vertical avec des éléments de RPG dans lequel vous gérez une colonie minière de nains.

Prenez la tête d'un clan de nains hauts en couleur, établissez une entreprise minière légendaire, forgez des épées épiques et creusez toujours plus profond en quête de gloire, richesse et... danger.



À la surface, la guerre fait rage et les maîtres-artisans nains ont fait le serment de puiser dans toutes leurs ressources pour produire et fournir tout ce dont leurs alliés ont besoin. Vous commencez modestement, avec une poignée de nains sous vos ordres, désireux de lancer les opérations rapidement. Votre progression verra votre petit clan s'agrandir et gagner en renommée dans les Royaumes supérieurs pour son excellent savoir-faire

La victoire au bout des doigts



À la surface, les alliés vous demanderont toutes sortes de choses. Les nains pourraient avoir à forger une pléthore d'épées en argent pour affronter une armée de vampires en approche. Pour le sacre d'une princesse elfe, on ne vous demandera rien de moins qu'une couronne d'or légendaire sertie de diamants de pouvoir divin +3.

Le Surmonde compte sur vous ! Chacune des commandes honorées vous rapprochera un peu plus de la victoire face aux forces du mal.

À mesure que vos nains améliorent leurs compétences et que votre base s'agrandit, construisez des tapis roulants et des ascenseurs pour leur donner un peu de répit.

Des personnalités hautes en couleur


Y a-t-il une contradiction entre la généalogie aristocratique d'Åglöf et l'éducation modeste de Vargskreva ? Votre explorateur a-t-il peur du noir ? Votre artisan en chef est-il arrivé au summum de ses capacités ? Utilisez les points forts de vos nains, mais aussi leurs faiblesses, pour arriver à la victoire.

Tous les événements de la vie des nains les définissent : généalogie, traits, capacités, équipement, mouvements et bien plus encore sont autant de statistiques qui rendront chacun d'eux unique. 

Des artisans talentueux


Tout le monde peut fabriquer une épée en fer, mais seuls les nains peuvent convaincre le dragon d'une caverne de cristaux de leur vendre son souffle de plasma ardent pour alimenter une forge maudite d'Andthril et y forger une... épée en fer +2

Chaque coup de marteau sur l'enclume donne à un nain expérimenté une chance de coup critique qui améliorera votre équipement.

Une grotte pleine de vie


Les nains apprécient les ascenseurs, mais pas tellement les chutes libres. Ils ont donc tous une vision différente de ce qu'est un bon ascen-sueur. Par exemple, les membres du clan Nerdacier se contentent d'un conduit traditionnel, surmonté d'une grue équipée d'une corde de 300 mètres et d'un modeste tonneau comme plateforme, équipé naturellement d'un bar débordant de bière.

Les matériaux les plus puissants, le magma le plus ardent et les trésors les plus précieux se trouvent évidemment dans les profondeurs les plus noires, en compagnie des périls les plus grands.

Découvrir le chemin le plus sûr et le plus rapide vers les abîmes (ainsi que le chemin du retour) sera votre priorité, mais les capacités uniques de vos nains vous aideront dans cette quête.

Le moteur physique et la gestion des fluides du jeu vous permettront d'alimenter vos forges en lave, de brasser de la bière, mais aussi de jeter une torche le long d'un conduit pour le sonder, et bien plus encore.

Il ne s'agit pas simplement de modifications de données telles que les textures, mais bel et bien de modifications du script vous permettant d'écrire de nouvelles fonctionnalités en C++ natif.

Gérez une colonie minière de nains dans les montagnes inexplorées de Mara. Alors que le Surmonde est ravagé par la guerre, vous devrez forger, explorer et vous battre pour offrir à vos alliés les meilleures armes et l'équipement dont ils ont besoin pour combattre les forces du mal.

Release Update - Version 1.0.12.0 - November 16th 2021

Features:

• Multiplayer Co-op Mode! A co-op mode can now be played. Multiplayer should work across all different stores where Hammerting can be bought seamlessly. There's now a new button in the start menu, called 'Multiplayer'. If you go there, you'll be able to name and create a lobby. Be sure to name it something unique. Let your friends and enemies know the lobby name, and they'll be able to join you as you delve deeper into the caverns. You'll all control the dwarves at the same time, and the dwarves will decide which ethereal being (player) they will choose to follow for the time being.

• Hammerting! Hammertings can now be held in the Great Hall! Holding a Hammerting will grant bonuses to the Mountain Home. When holding a Hammerting, all dwarves will meet in the Great Hall to discuss the matter. Hammertings can only be held once every two in-game hours.

• Overworld War! Factions on the Overworld will now declare war against each other! When at war, the factions will send armies toward their enemies if they have high enough Manpower and Might. When two armies meet, they will engage in combat until one of them is victorious! When an army reaches an enemy location, that location defends itself against the attacker, but its Fortification will take damage. If a location reaches 0 Fortification, it will fall and the items it holds will be destroyed. A location will prioritize re-building its Fortification over producing new goods to sell. When armies have torn down all Fortifications, they will march toward the enemy capital. Dwarves can help factions and locations by selling them goods, for example: Things that restore building health will increase Fortification. Weapons and Armor increases Might. Items restoring hunger and morale will increase Manpower.

Factions wait to declare war until their holdings have full Fortification. Hexes on the Overworld will now be conquered by factions if an army reach an enemy capital and that faction has 0 Fortification on all locations.

• Overworld Victory Condition! When your relation level with another faction reaches the Esteemed level, you will unlock the Dwarven Subversion mission, in that Faction's capital. Completing this mission will make the faction a permanent ally. There is now a victory condition called World Conquest. This is achieved by having your Overworld allies control all overworld locations. Completing this mission will win the game.

• Thought Bubbles! Dwarfs will now show thought bubbles over their heads whenever they start a new task showing what they are going to do. This can be disabled in the options menu.

• More Materials, Items & Recipes! The following crops can now be planted: Sulphur Sprouts, Citadel Mushroom, Sugar Beets, Rime Beets, Grapes, Tomb Lilac, Hops, and Troll Tails. Added Troll Cloth, Dwarven Licorice, and Mountain Barley. A lot of recipes for fish-based dishes has been added Two new wall materials have been added: Ornamental and Runic

• Book of Tings Updated! Book of Tings, or Dwarfelopedia as we devs lovingly call it, has been updated with new text and images. Increased size of Main Menu and Dwarfelopedia buttons on the top bar. The window now changes size after changing the game's resolution. Topics are now categorized Added Help buttons to various interfaces. These open the corresponding entry in the Dwarfelopedia.

Performance:

• Significant speedup when dwarves and creatures look for enemies.

Tweaks:

• AI Adjusted Dwelling spots. Adjusted Tavern conversation spots. Dwarfs will no longer engage in combat or listen to attack orders if their health is so low that they will retreat once they're close to the enemy. Dwarves that have picked something up for hauling will never engage in conversation until the haul job is complete. Dwarves that want to talk will prefer going to a nearby Tavern if possible. Dwarves who finish a job will now consider going to eat/sleep etc. a bit more before starting the next job. Dwarves who have the Militia profession set to Unallowed will not engage in combat. Dwarves will no longer replace minecarts at hauling jobs. Dwarves will now drop off cliff edges if they get stuck. Wooooooo! Enabling a job type for a dwarf now immediately recalculates job assignments. Haul jobs that have been started are now less likely to get unassigned. Haulers will now clean their inventory before and after a haul job. This prevents items from previous haul jobs to be spread around the base.

• UI Added a glow to input buttons in the Crafting UI to draw attention to them. Added a popup warning when applying settings in the options menu. Added better tooltips to buy/sell-offers. Added double-click support for Assign Dwarf in the Dwelling UI. Added dwelling upgrade icons, cloth and fiber icons and overworld location icons. Added missing tooltips and finishing touches to the Job Broker UI. Added storage filters for Seeds, Fish, and Fibers. Clicking a build menu that is already opened will now close the menu instead of reopening it. Greyed out allowed icons in auto equip menu if auto-equip is not set to custom. Knowledges now consistently show Mountain Lore cost first, then Trade Lore cost. Log book now has pages. Notifications have been changed to show a generic title, to avoid text overflow issues. Reworked Dwelling UI. Talents are now highlighted if the match one of the dwarf's Favorited profession. Tweaked the Ledger filter dropdown menu so it scales after screen height.

• Gameplay Dwelling upgrades now have a graphical representation Slightly reduced enemy armor

Bug fixes:

• AI Dwarves will now fall after dying, instead of becoming stranded in the air. Farmers are now responsible for Harvest interactions. Explorers got better things to do! Fixed a bug making mano a mano conversations longer than intended. Fixed a bug with storages that had Take From Overworld but not Take From Inventories causing dwarfs to juggle items indefinitely. Fixed several issues with digging that caused dig dwarves to pause dig jobs after each tile. Hauled items now count towards the global inventory. This fixes an issue where dwarfs would get stuck switching between different haul jobs. Refill Statusbar-desire now only uses the high-rank utility action for the health bar.

• UI Continue button no longer enabled on Game Over screen. Dwelling upgrade orders can no longer be set to Maintain mode. Fix for Brazilizan-Portugese localization. Fixed a bug where the auto-equip button couldn't be toggled. Fixed a bug where the dark background would persist after saving a game manually (for real this time).. Fixed biome region record on load, so it now shows in tooltips. Fixed modifier tooltips in the Job Broker UI. Job broker now shows tooltip for favorite profession and favorite profession tooltip now correctly states that it does have some effect on job assignment. Player can no longer press the delete button while no save is selected in the load game menu. Sacks should now properly show their rarity in text.

• Gameplay Available recruits are now kept when saving and loading the game. Drain Sink and Drills can now be deactivated. Drills no longer work if they have 0 health. Hauling from the Overworld to the mountain home chest is now a normal-priority job instead of a low-priority job, as originally intended.

Stability improvements:

• Build configuration and version are now logged at startup.
• Fixed dedicated fullscreen mode crash when starting the game minimized.
• Fixed a bug which could lead to unstable state when joining a conversation.
• Fixed a Vulkan write-after-write hazard when updating the map.
• Fixed crash when opening log book with a large number of entries.
• Fixed an assert that could occur from canceling orders.
• Fixed an assert that could occur from leaving the game on for a long time.
• Fixed an assert when sorting inventory of Overworld location when no items were available.
• Rarity particle FX is now despawned properly.

See you down in the depths…

Relations Update - Version 0.10.15.0 Sept 22nd 2021

Features:

• Relations!

  • All dwarves now have an opinion of their friends. Or foes, as it may be.
  • The opinion can move them into different relations statuses.
  • Similarly, the relations a dwarf has with another dwarf influences their opinion of them.
  • Being in different clans will affect their opinion towards each other... usually for the worse.
  • A new Relations window has been added to the Dwarf UI.
  • New Traits have been added: Skald
  • New Knowledge has been added: Common Heritage.

• Talking!

  • Dwarves can now stop for a chat!
  • They will talk about just about anything.
  • Depending on their relations and if they thought the other dwarf had good points, they will walk away with a higher or lower opinion of the dwarf.
  • They can also get a Morale and Energy boost.
  • Dwarves have new stats that impact how it goes: Empathy makes them more likely to like the other dwarf. Social Competence makes other dwarves like them more.
  • Dwarves that are socially starved will head to the nearest tavern to hear the latest gossip.

• Sleep!

  • Whenever a dwarf is low on energy they will try to find a place to sleep
  • Dwarves with an assigned Dwelling will always sleep in their Dwelling
  • Dwarves without an assigned Dwelling will try to find the closest dry spot on the ground to sleep on
  • Sleeping in a Dwelling replenishes more energy than sleeping on the ground

• Hunger!

  • Hunger is now explicitly represented with its own character statusbar.
  • Every time a dwarf eats a piece of food, a "Food Effect"-modifier will be added to it, providing buffs or debuffs, depending on the quality of food item consumed, over some amount of time.
  • While a dwarf has a "Food Effect" active, they cannot eat more food.
  • Hunger increases with the level of the Dwarf.
  • Energy is now primarily restored by sleeping, rather than eating.

Performance:

• Fixed an issue where entities would override their position settings whenever they became the child of another entity. This also removes a huge lag spike caused by thousands of entities refreshing their positions when the navgraph was updated.
• Fixed mining jobs not being saved/loaded correctly. This caused mining jobs to get stuck in the job list after loading even if there was nothing to dig. Saves prior to this fix will recreate all dig jobs and will lose any priority that might have been set.
• Improved performance of hauling mine carts.
• Overworld location update is now done in parallel.
• Time-to-finish for jobs is now only recalculated when necessary.

Tweaks:

• Gameplay

  • Gauze is now cheaper
  • High level enemies are tougher.
  • Low level enemies have slightly less armor.
  • Very Hard enemies have slightly less armor.
  • Reduced Driftwood preciousness.
  • Overworld locations should now attempt to cull overproduction, to make place for a varied and nice inventory of goods at all times.

• UI

  • Adjusted the Mountainhome window's position in the overworld to resemble the other location windows.
  • Clicking the 'available mission' icon on location entries will now open the location with the mission tab open.
  • Tutorial popup now shows up above the buildbar menu and it's horizontal position is affected by the width of the left side outliner.
  • Various behind-the-scenes fixes to the build menu.

Bug fixes:

• Gameplay

  • Armors should now propagate values for production and vision range.
  • 'The Rats in the walls' quest should now track progress between saving and loading
  • Tools made out of various types of bone should now show their handles correctly

• UI

  • Added fallback for missing codepoints in the 'Norse' font
  • Fixed a bug where outliner entries size wouldn't update when moving them from one side to another.
  • Fixed increase/decrease opinion tooltip showing '%Oproperty_comp' instead of faction name
  • Fixed the idle-dwarfs alert turning on for a single tick.

• AI

  • Changing priority of a craft/restoration job in the job broker will now properly update the priority in the building interface. Craft- and Restoration job share priority (changing one will drag along the other).
  • Dwarves would sometimes consider certain items unreachable for equipping even if they weren't, but should now have come to their senses.
  • Fixed a pathfinding bug where a building next to a station with no carts connected would not be able to find paths to some items.
  • Fixed dwarfs standing around idling for a while after finishing a job. They'll now get a new job assigned to them as soon as possible.
  • Restore/refuel jobs now get the same priority as the crafting/hauling jobs when changing priority in a room.
  • Tweaked how dwarves evaluate things to eat (not food, but other consumables such as medicine). They'll now focus more on refilling statusbars that are low. This is an attempt to solve an issue where Dwarfs with low health would panic and start eating anything beneficial they could find even if it did nothing for health.

• Auto-Equip

  • Auto-equip now looks at entire toolbelt to determine if equipping a new tool gives a net positive gain.
  • Auto-equip now summarizes production values that are increased/decreased. This should prevent dwarves from becoming stuck in an auto-equip ping-pong behavior.
  • Dwarves will now only consider items they can reach when auto-equipping.
  • Rewrote part of dwarf auto-equip behavior. Dwarves would sometimes not consider upgrading tool when there were better available.

• Stability improvements:

• 'Custom Order' food could become bugged and crash the game in previous versions. All existing 'Custom Orders' are now destroyed when loading a save from an earlier version.

• Fixed a crash that could sometime occur in the recruit UI

• Hopefully fixed the 'Available mission' indicator sometimes crashing the game

• Increased the size of the buffer used by UI layout entities.

• Item decay increased significantly when reaching the engine's maximum entity limit.

• Spamming 'Recruit'/'Dismiss' buttons should no longer crash the game

  • Some say it can even connect to Inclined Railways. Extremely obscure reference warning: Or dress up as a stationmaster.

• Inclined Railway!

  • Or is it just Incline Railway? Sloped Railway? The debate rages in the dev chat channels.
  • This is for those of you who like to build your base diagonally!

• **Tool Automatic Upgrading!***

  • Dwarves will now automatically go to equip new items that are better than the ones they have in the toolbelt.
  • This can be turned on and off. There's also an option to customize how you want it to work.

  • Vaults visually display roughly how full they are.

• Win Condition: Righteous Affluence!

  • Dwarves have a preference to haul items that are already in their inventory.
  • Haul jobs are now given an overall higher score.

  • Removed superfluous close button from the overworld.
  • The camera will now pan to locations when clicked on their entries in the Outliner.

Bug fixes:

• AI

  • Dwarven Maps can now be crafted again.
  • Dwarves (and other creatures) can now stop moving while traversing down natural cave stairs, without teleporting to the end. This fixes a bug where a dwarf and an enemy were locked in a vinkelvolt!
  • Dwarves and creatures spawning from lairs will not get stuck in a jump/drop loop.
  • Dwarves are no longer able to run in unexplored areas on the Overworld.
  • Dwarves will no longer "forget" to unreserve an item when they go from a mild desire to a high desire. This may have been the cause of some instances of not healing downed friends.

  • Elevator rails should now be buildable downwards.
  • Fixed a bug by which hauling to locations would stop on account of no inventory space.

  • Fixed an issue that would cause dwarves to only stash gold in the dwelling once, and then getting completely stuck.

  • Fixed bug that would cause the wrong Overworld tiles to be explored, thus potentially locking movement.
  • Items should no longer be moved into containers with unmatching filters.
  • Job broker no longer distributes jobs types into fixed buckets based on how many are working on them. This would frequently cause dwarves to abandon hauling. This feature may return in some form at some point.
  • Maintain orders on hand pump now work as expected.
  • Overworld mission hauling will now let dwarves haul all needed items if they are able to.
  • Overworld missions should no longer be hauled to just one or two items at a time.
  • Overworld missions should require the correct amount of items after load.
  • Pathfinding is now updated properly when the last tile in a block is removed. This prevents dwarves from getting stuck, standing in the air.
  • Recipes that produce the same output item regardless of input (Bone Ash, for example) now works properly with 'local maintain'.
  • Regular move order utility scoring no longer reduced by legacy 0.5 multiplier. Also decreased the impact distance had on scoring.

• UI

  • Added storage category to Mushroom Oil and Bones.
  • Fixed Overworld missions displayed in location UI lists from top to bottom correctly.

• Other

  • Added a tiny sleep while waiting for game and media thread to sync up.
  • Fixed an issue with Overworld debug names that will make logs easier to parse.
  • Fixed inheritance issues with crafted bones.
  • Locations no longer calculate any reserved item as 'in stock', only those claimed by itself.
  • Missions to buy lumber should properly register when buying lumber in bulk.

Stability improvements:

• Fixed a bug where mission items were also considered as viable to be sold for a location. This fix should fix the TRADE_OFFERS/ASSERT( to ); crash, and also that players were unable to buy certain items listed for sale (but were actually mission items).
• Fixed a couple Overworld missions.
• Fixed a couple of bugs relating to moving items between inventories.
• Fixed a crash that could happen when cancelling orders.
• Fixed a crash that could happen when finishing Overworld missions.
• Fixed a crash that could happen when items were moved to a full destination.

Update 6 - Overworld Update! (May 14 2021)

Dwarves!

Introducing the Overworld Update!

Explore new locations, form relationships with different factions and trade items for that precious gold!

Features:

• Completely revamped Overworld!

  • The map, factions, locations, and roads, are procedurally generated every time you start a new game.

• Overworld locations!

  • Different locations want different items, based on the type of location. Locations occasionally have higher demand for some items, increasing how much they are willing to pay for it.
  • Demand goes down if you buy a lot of that type of item, then slowly comes back over time.
  • To sell to a location, a dwarf needs to take the items and walk to it on the Overworld. A tip is to ensure that your dwarves have plenty of carrying capacity, for example by dropping a tool they aren't using.
  • When you buy from a location, it's put into its inventory for you to use. A dwarf needs to go and grab the items, just as if it was stored in a chest. A tip is to build a chest or two near your Entrance and set up its filters so that dwarves immediately bring home items you buy.
  • By trading with a location, it gains Trade Levels. Whenever you gain a Trade Level, more area near the location is revealed to you. You also gain Trade Lore in this manner.

• Overworld factions!

  • Factions control different parts of the map.
  • Factions have relationships with each other and with the dwarven Mountainhome.
  • Relationships will change dynamically over the course of the game due to various factors.

• The Overworld overhaul is a solid foundation for us to build even more cool stuff upon! In the Quality of Life update coming after this update, you can look forward to a new, dynamic mission system, a Trader profession, and many more improvements!

Tweaks:

• AI:

  • Dwarves could flip between a restoration job and other work. A gentle tweak to remove this behavior has been applied.
  • Dwarves idling on an elevator will now try to go somewhere else to idle, freeing it up for the rest of the dwarves.
  • Dwarves who need to drop some items to make room for some other item they wish to pick up from a container, can now put it in the container instead of dropping it on the ground.
  • Fixed a couple of problems with pathfinding.
  • Fixed some instances of jittery dwarf behavior near rooms.

• Audio:

  • Added ambience for the Sacred Well.
  • Added starting time randomization for ambience layers.
  • Removed unnecessary variations of assets.
  • Reworked pitch & vol randomization for most events and instruments.
  • Reworked mix automation.
  • Attenuation is now automated in the mix.

• Crafting:

  • Added a Needle tool in a few variants for the Tailor profession.
  • Added a Pen tool in a few variants for the Arcanist profession.
  • More creatures now spawn bones, and a few new recipes have been added that uses bones.

• UI:

  • Made the Talents section larger in Character UI.
  • Removed a close button that would show up after selecting a save file in the load menu.
  • Save game versions is now shown in the load game screen.
  • Slightly tweaked the color for action tooltips ("press 'x' to...").
  • The Job List UI has been improved by grouping and combining entries. You can find it by opening the Job Broker page and going to Page 2.
  • The Overworld button closes the Overworld if open.
  • The Overworld button has a different icon while the Overworld is open.
  • The icons for digging and mining have been removed. You can still set the priority for orders, though it isn't very clear at the moment. You can inspect the Job List UI to see the different jobs and their priorities.
  • Tweaked item right click menu so the item name has more space and added a large icon of the item in the background of the UI.
  • Tweaked the credits menu so that the scrollbar doesn't show up behind the close button.

Bug fixes:

• Added vertical scrollbar and arrow notice for Research UI.
• Adjusted button and dialogue box texts in the tutorial that were overflowing in Japanese.
• Dwarves now sometimes splashes when falling into water.
• Fixed how some statusbars would handle when their max value grew.
• Fixed so that Research entries can't consume scroll inputs.
• Fixed stacking (non-Overworld) biome effects. Dwarves could go blind after delving too deep. This was not intentional.
• Fixed textures sometimes not getting set for the first frame an object was rendered.
• Selling items will no longer consider items on the ground.
• Various minor text issues fixed.

Crash fixes:

• The following fixes will possibly help those who encounter the VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST error when playing the game:

  • Fixed an out-of-bounds error on the GPU
  • Fixed write-after-write hazard with transitioning depth buffer at the same time as clearing it
  • Fixed read-after-write synchronization hazard with light system

• Fixed a crash when completing multiple move orders the same frame.

• Fixed crash that could happen for Intel graphics cards when starting the game.

• Fixed crash that could happen when exiting the game.

• Fixed crash that could happen when items used for restoration were destroyed.

• Fixed crash that would happen when a dwarf's target got removed while on a vehicle.

• Potentially fixed a tooltip related crash.

What's coming next you ask?! The next Hammerting update will be a quality of life patch which will bring further improvements and features, such as bigger and better missions, for you to enjoy!

Don't forget to join our Discord for all the tavern gossip!

Update 4 - Fluid Update! (March 01 2020)

Dwarves!

Deep in the Mountains of Mara there is so much to discover, and the latest update adds even more! ​ You will now come across fluids, such as water & lava, while exploring!

Features: Fluids are in the game!

• Starting a new game is required to get fluids, and definitely something we recommend. (You can still acquire water in the farm, so old save games will still work.)
• Two types of fluids: Water and Lava. Don't step in the lava, unless you're a Lava Slime or a Lava Rat, in which case it's all good.
• A Hand Pump building to help you pump up the fluids from the cave.
• A Drain Sink building to pour them back into the cave.
• Fluid sources that dole out fluids from time to time.
• Lava pouring onto Water will spawn Granite blocks.
• Small fluid puddles dries up after a while.
• Effects are now listed in the character screen. (There are currently only fluid based effects)
• Dwarves idling in a fluid will opt to go elsewhere.
• Dwarves and creatures are more keen to avoid lava than water.

Tavern and Brewery!

• 6 Tavern recipes, such as Warrior's Feast and Noble Dinner.
• 7 new ingredients, such as Yeast and Cinnamon.
• 14 drink recipes, such as Mulled Wine and Dragon's Tears.
• 9 Knowledges, for example Gastronomic Heritage and Social Gatherings

Biome Regions!

• All separate biome areas on the map now go by the name Biome Region.
• They all have a difficulty level, increasing with depth. This is not currently used, but it's there now so we can build upon it at some point.
• They have different modifiers applied to them, so one might be extra wet, another may be dark, and so on.

Sovereignty!

• Dwarves can no longer be recruited willy-nilly. A certain level of Sovereignty is required.
• Sovereignty is currently gained from various Knowledges, and from exploring and finding Dwarf Guardian statues.
• The Mountainhome's current Sovereignty is shown in the top bar.
• New Cave Mission: Establishing Sovereignty
• Recruitment screen shows Sovereignty to make it clear why you can't recruit a dwarf.

Job Priority!

• Jobs have three levels of priorities.

• You can now set these on construction orders on the map, using the new button in the action menu, or with the "." hotkey.

• You can also get an overview of all the current jobs in the second page of the Job Broker UI. From here you can set priorities and move the camera around to the different jobs.

• Game now shows the Job Priority of construction orders, if they differ from 'Normal'.

• A lot of tooltips for entities on the map now show the entity's name instead of its archetype name. For instance a renamed stone chest will now show the chest's actual name instead of just "Stone Chest"

• A new enemy, the Rimeling, now spawns in the Frozen Waste biome.

• Player must now give attack order on lair in order for dwarves to attack it.

Performance:

• Fixed memory leak whenever gold was given to the Mountainhome.

• Enemy waves from lairs will now initially spawn weak waves and then, incrementally, stronger ones.

• Lairs won't spawn waves until some time has passed in the beginning.

• Enemy waves will now properly find buildings with health and move to a position where they can attack it.

• General Tip: Waves spawn much more frequently once you've discovered a lair, so be careful when exploring.

• Fixed save/load issue with enemy lairs.

• Map generation has been tweaked a bit due to code refactoring.

• Map generation no longer adds a bump next to the Entrance and other cave rooms.

• Bumped max attribute values to 30.

• Clicking dwarf portrait when zoomed out should now select dwarf, rather than zoom to it.

• Creatures' tooltips display their main modifier.

• Small stone bridge costs slabs instead of ingots. Reduced cost of stairway from 3x to 2x.

• Interact positions has a bit wider search radius for game paths. Fixes sometimes not being able to build long elevator rails upwards. (Tentative change, may be reverted)

• You can now double-click to buy a talent.

• Yeast can be made from shrooms.

• Tweaked Cave Mission dependencies to make them appear a bit more slowly in the beginning.

Bug fixes: AI!

• Fixed dwarves sometimes not using items from an inventory to refuel a building or heal another dwarf.

• Attack orders are now removed when the target has zero health.

• Recipes now accepts any mushrooms.

• Dwarves can haul things from sacred well and other neutral buildings.

• Combatants will now prefer to attack over approaching an enemy, and prefer to approach a nearby enemy over moving to a marked attack target.

• Mountainhome now has a hover effect on the Overworld map.

• Base production value listed in character screen is now proper base value, ignoring any items or other entities that may affect it.

Crash fixes:

• Vulkan implementation now falls back to system RAM when out of GPU RAM, instead of crashing. GPU RAM will always be chosen if possible though. Fixes VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY on low-end systems.
• Fixed a rare crash that occurred when the game started.
• Fixed crash when clicking fast enough to spawn two popups. Could happen with the storages filter button, and items' right click menu.
• Fixed crash when pasting storage filter settings too quickly.
• Fixed infinite loop when spawning enemy waves.
• Fixed a crash that would happen after issuing a new construction order.
• Fixed a crash that would happen when an event type was registered while an event was being triggered.
• Fixed a few crashes that could happen when a UI showed an entity that died.

As you can see... there's so much more to dig in to! Enjoy!
