Patch Notes — Version 0.8.083–0.8.086 (Beta)

Minor Changes

General

• Made it possible to select buildings that have ended up inside the Manor area (temporary change until town walls are ready - it's still not intended to place normal town buildings inside the castle area and castles are still intended to get more of their own modules later in development).
• Further changes to unit collision: Because treating handcarts and characters separately caused extremely rare but fatal cases of workers getting stuck, we reworked all characters to use capsules that combine their collision into one.
• Small improvements on collision avoidance around carts so that characters bump into them less often.
• Unemployed husbands can help fetch fuel or water.
• Workers harvesting vegetables will now walk back to the shed to drop off the produce.
• Employed sons skip fetching fuel or water if there is an available woman in the same household.

Cosmetics

• Reworked models for food resources being transported.
• Items from the Construction category, as well as Leather, Hides, Shoes, Charcoal, and Clothes have had locations adjusted so they sit more naturally in a handcart.
• Added more construction resources assets to Houses and Church
