.186
Released 23-March-2021
 * Town groupings and extension of Market delivery radius
 * The Base building now has its own area-of-effect range that will group nearby Markets and Houses into a single ‘town’ unit.
 * Markets in the same town will share delivery range with each other, making it much easier to supply goods to a larger area.
 * The range of this effect will increase as the Base is upgraded.
 * Removed ‘always connect’ square radius of Markets, as it was confusing to have two different ways to connect. Now you need to use Foot Paths or Roads to connect all town buildings (Bases, Houses, and Markets).


 * Improvements
 * Added new building materials: Mana Crystal, Fire Crystal, Water Crystal, Earth Crystal, and Air Crystal (with blocks, ramps, etc for each)
 * Roads and Footpaths that are next to each other will now combine to form solid textures instead of a lattice
 * Greatly improved map load times by deferring a lot of navigation data calculation until it is needed during gameplay. This especially has a benefit on maps with many purchased terrain chunks.
 * Made Grain more plentiful, and closer to starting area, on new custom generated maps
 * Made terrain adjustments to starting area smoother and over a larger radius
 * Increased display range of many world objects
 * PgUp / PgDown can now be used to change the placement height of block structures, buildings, moved and copied block regions.
 * Improved terrain textures
 * Improved model & texture for stone brick physical item
 * Increased smoothing amount of area around starting base
 * Removed excess AoE display effects when placing houses
 * Temples that spawned with map can be moved once the associated temple research is complete (excluding Campaigns)


 * Bug Fixes
 * Path Planner would often attempt to draw paths underwater, and make mistakes in other edge cases
 * Flipped texture on walls
 * Missing frame mesh on wood stairs
 * Movement commands were not able to target the tops of solid block structures
 * Workers delivering multiple item types to a group of houses would sometimes prioritize items wrong
 * Building and deleting a Steam Generator in the same session would cause the ‘missing pipe’ icon to hover in center of map (usually above Base)
 * Merge blocks would jump to the next scheduled inlet during game load if an item was restored in that location
 * Was able to assign Filter Categories to an Item Generator, resulting in invalid items being output

.185
Released 26-February-2021


 * New Blocks!
 * This patch adds dozens of new decorative / structural blocks you can use to spruce up your town! Choose from several new shapes like blocks, ramps, stairs, platforms, and pillars and materials like Wood, Stone, Brick, Iron, Gold and Cheese (?).
 * The decorative Fence has also been greatly improved - now instead of just placing it like a single block (which made corners impossible), you can drag it like any other path object, or hit R to rotate to a specific angle. It also comes in several different variants (like a Stone Parapet) and also as a solid wall, in each of the different material types. At some point I may add some in-game function for these fences, but for now, it's just for decorative purposes.
 * Some of the older structures had their textures improved as well.
 * Log Bridge
 * There's a new Log Bridge path structure as well. This is created like a path, is very cheap and can be placed above water. Workers walk quickly on it, but wheeled vehicles move slowly. Like other paths, you can hold down CTRL while dragging to create a level path in the air. The Log Bridge does not require any supports beneath it, but also can not be used to support other structures. It's meant to be used in the early game if the player needs to cross water but doesn't have much manufacturing capability.
 * Context Hotbar
 * With all the new block types, the game needed an easier way to switch between block types of the same material. Now, when you're building one of the new decorative blocks, a hotbar appears in the bottom-right showing all the different types available for the active material. You can click on these icons, hit TAB to cycle through them (or Shift+Tab to cycle in reverse).
 * In addition, this hotbar shows various relevant pipe structures when editing the 2D layers.
 * Misc Improvements
 * Increased spawn rate of Sugar zones on custom maps
 * Improved display of pipe connectors and their highlights
 * When a chute or rail path is drawn so that it stats or ends in the middle of an existing path, it will create a T junction instead of a much less functional X junction
 * Any structural block that does not require a lower support (e.g. scaffold blocks, but not flower pots) can be built off of a building based on where the cursor hits
 * Balance Changes
 * Terrain purchase is now a flat cost of 500 yellow coins
 * Bug Fixes
 * Fixed incorrect highlight messages when harvesting items
 * Fixed bug: Using the pipette tool on a Road or Foot Path that was laying flat on a block would pick up the block, not the path
 * Fixed bug: Small sized maps did not have adequate distribution of spawned resources
 * Fixed bug: the Tools menu button show an empty list every 2nd time it was used
 * Fixed bug: placing non-path structures that still support navigation (like solid blocks) were not recalculating Market reach
 * Fixed bug: menu quick-access buttons were not highlighting properly

.184
Released 8-February-2021


 * Fixed more path planner edge cases, like overhangs and dealing with existing downhill ramps
 * Fixed bug: Trains would stop to pick up at a Train Stop (and perhaps stay indefinitely) even when overall train stop + train filters were completely incompatible, as long as one of the rail cars had an individual item slot without a specific item filter
 * Tailor can now be upgraded with Steam, Water Mana, and Omnistone boosters
 * Medicine Hut can now be upgraded with Steam, Fire Mana, and Omnistone boosters
 * Fixed bug: was possible to inadvertently re-trigger a double-click action on selected object when closing out of a menu
 * Added additional patches of Potatoes, Carrots, and Apples to Campaign Map 6
 * Fixed bug: default behavior of path planner tool would create a path below the surface of water

.183
Released 8-February-2021


 * Improved Path Planner tool, so it will do a better job of returning valid paths in a wider variety of situations
 * Fixed bug: Trains transferring goods from non-Train Station buildings would depart the station before moving all possible goods
 * Increased spawn rate of Grain at medium distances from map center
 * Fixed bug: activating Chute or Rail from build menu or hotbar would not allow rotation or placement of single path items
 * Fixed bug: was able to set research state completed / uncompleted in non-creative mode
 * Fixed bug: cursor building action panel would block the mouse cursor from hitting world objects
 * Fixed bug: flickering when building pipes due to colliders inadvertently remaining on path previews

.182
Released 4-February-2021


 * New Campaign Map
 * Campaign Map #6 is here! It's a large, varied map that will introduce the player to Elemental mana power. The starting center town is surrounded by four distinct biomes, and you must venture far out into each to find the four Temples of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. These produce matching types of Crystals that you can research to unlock new magical technology. Once that research is mastered, you can craft and sell extremely valuable Spellbooks to achieve victory.
 * It will take a large network of roads, rails, and pipes to move all the necessary goods around, but there are a number of helpful trading posts around the map to assist you. In particular, the two trading posts closest to the town are looking for Exotic Fruits (Cactus Fruit and Dragonfruit) and if you can supply them you gain access to a great source of coins and materials.
 * Balance Changes
 * Bandage, Poultice, and Medical Wrap moved from Workshop to Medicine Hut. For compatibility reasons, legacy maps will automatically be set up with a custom rule override that retains a copy of these recipes at the workshop.
 * Steam Pipe recipe consumes 1 Iron Ore instead of 2, and produces 2 Steam Pipes instead of 1
 * Rail Tile consumes 1 Stone Slab instead of 2, and produces 2 Rail Tiles instead of 1
 * Remedy now worth 4 Blue Coins (up from 3)
 * Poultice now worth 3 Blue Coins (down from 4)
 * Antidote worth 14 Blue Coins (up from 12)
 * Medical Wrap worth 18 Blue Coins (up from 14)
 * All recipes that produce Elemental Crystals decreased baseline production time from 6 seconds to 4 seconds
 * Misc Improvements
 * Path preview when drawing pipes has been improved
 * Improved performance related to Affinity Tooltip panels
 * Improved performance of modifying roads and houses
 * Bottom-left button grid now shows more buttons than before, instead of hiding behind mouse-over popup menus
 * Natural resource groupings are cached so that displaying them doesn’t take as long when using the World Data panel
 * When placing Farm Tiles / Tree Planters / Omniplanters, blocks that already have that structure type are no longer highlighted, making it easier to see where they need to be placed
 * Grabber will now auto-create when placing a single belt facing away from a building (used to have to drag a path of 2+ tiles)
 * Inventory slot detail menu and Item filter selection panel are now draggable
 * Dragging a menu panel will make it the front-most UI panel
 * Improved performance of preview paths
 * Improved performance when building anything while game is unpaused
 * Path Planner tool is more reliable when end target is on steep or uneven terrain
 * Added tooltip descriptions for farming supply actions
 * Bug Fixes
 * Fixed trains continuously loading goods from a building when multiple valid items are being continuously delivered to the building (even when ‘hold until full’ is off)
 * Removed obsolete “Fruit Juice” and (plain) “Jam” recipes from Kitchen. For compatibility reasons, legacy maps will automatically be assigned an override rule that keeps them active.
 * Fixed bug: tile affinity was conferring yield bonus to a resource even if the affinity was for another item type
 * While the tutorial is active, opening the victory conditions panel early will no longer skip the tutorial step that requires you to open it
 * Fixed cursor tool preview block being too opaque
 * Fixed bug: when placing path structures like chutes & belts, arrows indicating default access into or out of building were not being displayed correctly
 * Fixed 2D grid selection highlight not appearing
 * Fixed bug: Priority Sorter was acting unreliably
 * Fixed bug: workers would not re-attempt to harvest resources if they had fully depleted but then regrew
 * Fixed bug: resources, affinity, and mining layer wasn’t being correctly loaded on northern-most row of each terrain chunk, resulting in straight lines missing data
 * Fixed patches of missing affinity in Campaign maps
 * Fixed bug: placing a farm tile wouldn’t immediately update the inventory display panel of the resource on that tile
 * Removed item Descriptions for physical items, they were often unhelpful and out-of-date
 * Fixed bug: Apple Jam and Apple Juice were not showing their recipe inputs in their tooltip panel
 * Fixed bug: worker units not triggering ‘On Exit’ condition of agent trigger
 * Fixed bug: ‘Hold Until Complete’ was not working for loading trains
 * Fixed bug: Victory Condition of ‘Item Sell Counts’ wouldn’t store tally of items sold with the map file
 * Fixed some missing localization

.181
Released 26-January-2021


 * Map Generation Improvements
 * The previous logic for generating resources on a Custom map was pretty messy. In general the map was flooded with resources, because the old method didn't have a good way to keep patch size reasonable while still ensuring there was enough of that resource on the map. Or, you might get a bunch of tiny patches with just 1 or 2 items. There was no guarantee you'd have the right resources near your base, or that there would be enough on the map at all. And ultimately, it didn't even matter where resources spawned, because you could just arbitrarily create your own anywhere (see the next section for how that is addressed).
 * So I rewrote the resource generation algorithm from scratch!
 * In the new algorithm, resources are generated in several separate steps. First, the map is divided into zones that are evenly spread out from each other (with zones being a bit closer together in the center of the map). Then, resource types are assigned to those zones - taking into account which resources are important to have close to the base, and how much of that resource has already been generated. Last, the patches are 'grown' outward to reach a target size based on resource type and distance from center.
 * A debug view of the zone generation method - 'peaks' of this noise map are turned into resource zones. Note they are warped to be more frequent in the center
 * Resource zones after they are created
 * The result is a huge improvement in how maps play out. Resource patches are more consistently sized and have more space between them, resulting in more building area, less need to clear useless resources, and more meaningful mining & harvesting locations. Players will always have a good amount of certain critical resources near the base and reasonable amounts of all resource types elsewhere on the map. It also just looks better to not have huge fields of carrots, stone, and tomatoes smashed up against each other.
 * Resource Affinity & Yield
 * All the improvements to resource regeneration would be pretty useless on their own - as it was pretty simple to just place whatever crop you wanted anywhere on the map with no downside to consider. It made things a bit too easy - players had no incentive to take advantage of natural resource spawn locations, and missed out on having to solve interesting transportation challenges.
 * To fix this, the game now has the concept of Resource Affinity. Simply put, some things grow better in some parts of the map than in others. This means the efficiency of farms, foresters, and mines depend heavily on where you build them. And if that's the case, long-distance, high-throughput transportation options (like Trains) will become much more valuable. So it should make gameplay much more interesting in the long run.
 * Here's how it works in more detail. Each terrain tile can have affinity for a certain farm crop, tree type, or mineral. The affinity value can go from 0% to 100%. When a map is created, any naturally-occurring resource patches (plus a small area around it) is assigned 100% affinity for that resource type. When a resource is regrown on a tile the amount of items that can be harvested from it (i.e. its Yield) will be increased by 4x if it has the right affinity. On fast-producing farms, players will often be limited by how many crops are ready to be harvested, so a higher yield winds up producing a much higher amount of items over time.
 * There's a tooltip on each item source that lets you easily see all this data in one place:
 * You can place resources without affinity, but the yield will be smaller. However, each time the crop/tree/ore finishes growing, the tile will gain a small amount of affinity. So over time, you can change affinity to match your desired farming area. However, this process takes some time, so it is much more effective to base your farms around natural affinity regions.
 * If a tile has Affinity for a different resource than what you planted, the affinity of the tile for the old item will decrease slightly each time growth completes. Once it reaches zero, that old affinity is lost and it begins adding affinity for the resource type being grown that tile.
 * Yield is also affected by Farm Tiles, Fertilizer, and Water. Previously, these would increase crop regrowth speed, but now they simply add more items to the resource once growth completes. (Earth Shrines still boost regrowth speed.)
 * Affinity & Yield details can be viewed in several ways: When placing a resource or a Farm Tile-type block, all tiles with relevant affinity are highlighted on the map. Hovering over terrain will display its affinity value. A selected resource displays current yield and affinity, and hovering the Yield element will give a detailed description of the boost factors that are or aren’t currently being applied. And the new World Data panel has options to display crop, tree, or ore affinity tiles.
 * Affinity only applies to above-ground resources - minerals that spawn underground aren't affected. However, their Yield is increased from previous version, and can be increased much further by supplying Pickaxes to the Mine Shafts (via connected Mines).
 * One big related change is that the old 'Ore Prospecting' feature has been disabled by default. Again, this made it too easy to create mines in arbitrary locations, and was always intended as a placeholder until these current resource improvements could be made. To balance this out, underground resources have a much higher yield now, so you won't need to create huge patches to get a useful mining setup. (For players that really liked the old style, you can re-enable this ability with global rule “Ore Prospecting”.)
 * World Data Panel
 * The hotkey for Data Overlay (default: F) used to just show all items stored or produced by all buildings. On big towns, the result was information overload and made it much less useful.
 * Now, there is a new panel you can toggle with the same hotkey which has multiple layers of data you can toggle on or off.
 * Resource groups like crops, trees, ore, and fish can be shown. This highlights all tiles with matching affinity, and shows an icon for that crop over each resource patch. (A ‘patch’ is calculated dynamically based on groups of nearby resources).
 * Data Overlay ‘Production’ tab shows icon highlight color when recipe is starved for input (red) or can’t produce because output is full (purple):
 * New Resources & Recipes
 * Added new natural resource: Prickly Pear, which produces Cactus Fruit. Cactus Fruit can be harvested by Farms, but Prickly Pears can only be planted on Desert Sand tiles. They also only spawn naturally on Desert Sand terrain.
 * Added new natural resource: Dragonfruit Tree, which produces Dragonfruit. Dragonfruit are harvested by Foresters and require Tree Planters.
 * Note: maps created before this update will use the old resource generation algorithm, and will not naturally spawn Dragonfruit Trees or Prickly Pears.
 * Added new items and recipes: Cactus Jam and Dragon Punch
 * ‘Fruit Juice’ and ‘Jam’ have been changed into fruit-specific items and recipes: Apple Juice, Pear Juice, Berry Juice, Apple Jam, Pear Jam, and Berry Jam. They are grouped into ‘Juice’ and ‘Jam’ satisfaction category for houses.
 * NOTE: For compatibility reasons, the old Fruit Juice recipe will be left intact on legacy maps. This recipe accepts any fruit, and instead of a generic 'Fruit Juice' item it will convert it to Apple Juice. Any existing ‘Fruit Juice’ items are treated as Apple Juice. Similarly, the old Jam recipe now produces Apple Jam and any existing ‘Jam’ items are treated as Apple Jam.
 * New Buildings
 * Added new building: Tailor. This handles all clothing-related recipes (Shirt, Cloak, Warm Coat, Shoe) instead of the Workshop. Legacy maps will retain these recipes at the Workshop.
 * Added new building: Medicine Hut. This handles medicinal recipes (Remedy, Fish Oil, Ointment, Antidote, Health Potion, Elixir) instead of the Enchanter and Kitchen.
 * NOTE: For compatibility reasons, maps created in prior versions will retain these recipes at the original buildings.
 * Balance Changes
 * Removed default auto-replanting of all Farm crops, unless linked to a Farm or Farm Tile
 * Can place a crop without a Farm Tile, as long as terrain is valid.
 * Can no longer place Farm Tiles or Tree Planters on Sand or Rock terrain types
 * Yield for underground resources has generally been rebalanced so that common resources like Stone and Iron Ore have a higher yield than rare resources like Gold or Mana Crystals. Previously this was the opposite.
 * Mines will prefer to harvest above-ground resources before underground resources
 * Made crop growth speeds more consistent (difference now is in the yield each item produces)
 * Miscellaneous Improvements
 * Improved the visual lines that indicate worker targets & paths.
 * When a building is selected, arrows indicate where workers are supplying input, and where they are delivering output. Assigned workers are highlighted as well.
 * When a worker unit is highlighted, its pickup and dropoff locations are be highlighted.
 * Farm Crops get automatically removed when placing or moving a building onto their location (unless they are compatible, like Farm Tiles)
 * Can double-click on terrain to jump camera to that location
 * Can now change textures on terrain that had a default texture assigned from its original biome (e.g. Deserts)
 * Built-in Biomes now have a wider variety of textures
 * Fixed bug: Mesa Valleys biome had resource distribution similar to Desert type
 * Added Oasis biome
 * Resource patches are no longer 100% solid masses, they have some natural spacing in between individual blocks
 * Added ability to specify terrain type within each component of the terrain generator. The terrain used is based on the component with the highest height (unless a ‘Minimum’ height blend is specified, in which case the component with lower height gets terrain type precedence).
 * When editing custom map generation, now can set resource ‘patch size’, which is a more useful value than ‘spread’.
 * Mining ores spawn with higher resource counts as you get farther from center of map
 * Tiles that are near water are highlighted when placing crops
 * Water and Fertilizer state on Farm Tile is now simply On or Off. Instead of decaying slowly, water and fertilizer state will contribute to Crop Yield once growth completes, and each will deplete at that time (at which point it can be refilled by nearby water or Farm).
 * Pickaxe state on underground resources are consumed one at a time when the ore node finishes regenerating, instead of slowly depleting.
 * Added cursor highlight when navigating 2D views (underground mines, pipes, etc)
 * Worker Overview panel now starts on left side of screen so it’s easier to see the workers you click on
 * Camera can now be moved while dismissable modal menus are active (e.g. Worker overview, World Data panel)
 * Fish particle effect changed - now shows as circular bubble rings. They can also be displayed as an Affinity Zone highlight. These zones are visible when interacting with Fisheries or Fishing Boats. Can also have these zone displays toggled on or off in the Global Data panel.
 * Reorganized list of item icons that appear in Item Filters and Player Inventory
 * ‘Remove Resource’ now has a dedicated control (default: Ctrl+X) which will toggle to and from the current build action without clearing it. It also has its own icon in the bottom-left Tools menu
 * Improved performance of drawing glowing highlight tiles around the map
 * Reduced glow when showing Market-connected paths
 * Minor changes to campaign maps
 * Riverbanks now default to a green grass texture, not sand
 * Bug Fixes
 * Fixed bug: recipes would forfeit remainder of production time each time a recipe completed during a simulation tick, causing meaningful reduction in output on fast / highly boosted recipes, especially on lower framerates
 * Fixed bug: Trains would remain at a stop loading a handful of items at a time, if new valid items constantly flowed into the building and the building contained other items that were not valid transfers to the train
 * Fixed performance issue caused by frequently redrawing world highlights when certain buildings were selected
 * Fixed some missing text characters in localized text, were appearing as boxes
 * Fixed missing tooltip on natural resources & crops actively growing
 * Fixed missing localization on 'InvalidTerrain'
 * Fixed bug: unable to select an underground resource if it was on a Mine Shaft
 * Fixed bug: hitting ESC while assigning a worker delivery would not immediately remove the dragged item’s icon from the cursor
 * Fixed bug: worker preview paths were not always displaying
 * Stopped building alerts from interfering with worker targeting actions
 * Fixed bug: game loop would break when a worker assigned to harvest water from a river or lake
 * Fixed out-of-date icons for potato & carrot plants
 * Fixed bug: switching between maps might not update build button costs or locked state properly
 * Fixed bug: empty inventory slots would sometimes appear as partially full
 * Fixed bug: incorrect icon for Fabric filter category

Released 10-December-2020


 * More flexible Train Stops
 * Trains can now stop at any building that has a Train Stop attached. The transfer rate when using a Train Station remains at 1 full car per .5 seconds, otherwise transfer rate is limited to 4 items / second
 * Trains have been available for a while, but after player feedback I realized I made them too limited. I wanted Trains to fill a niche of high-throughput long distance transport, so I made them carry a lot and load & unload very quickly, but also require a 3x3 Train Station to transfer any items, plus a 1x1 Train Stop logistic block to connect to the station.
 * However, this means that in pretty cramped layouts trains were not viable - space is at a premium and players just didn't want the hassle of working a the 3x3 Train Station into their layouts. Also, many players were confused why Trains weren't making use of Train Stops (the answer being, they weren't connected to a Train Station).
 * So I've changed things around so that trains can load or unload at any building. (A Train Stop is still required, as this tells the Train it needs to perform a transfer, but those are 1x1 and fit neatly over rail tiles). However, the rate it can move items when it's not at a Station is just 4 per second.
 * This should preserve the advantage of long train routes + Train Stations for centralized, large-scale transfer tasks, but add an additional role for trains that they can shuttle goods around a smaller loop. This is particularly useful because trains can carry multiple goods at a time, and can perform both pick up and dropoff. You'll just need to find a way to supply your train with fuel and water.


 * Additional Balance Changes
 * Airship transfer rate increased from 2 items / sec up to 4 items / sec when not at an Airship Dock


 * Bug Fixes
 * Fixed bug: Chinese localization would not display correctly on some menus & tooltips
 * Fixed bug: arrow keys on Build menu would jump around between results instead of navigating up or down
 * Fixed bug: High throughput, High latency maps could sometimes stop working. Caused by a Farm harvesting action that changed a crop state which then caused an Earth Shrine to apply its regen boost all in the same update loop.
 * Fixed bug: Trains at a Train Stop flagged for ‘Wait until Empty’ would never resume unloading if had to temporarily pause due to target building being full
 * Fixed bug: missing text for ‘Preserve Depleted’ option when editing rules for Natural Resources
 * Fixed bug: Build menu search text would not get cleared after loading a different game

.179
Released 07-December-2020


 * When searching in the Build menu, items whose names start with the search text are sorted above those where the search text appears in the middle of the item’s name
 * Majority of structures, not just Paths and Logistic blocks, can have their rotation updated by building the same structure type on top of it. (This excludes structures that can be stacked like scaffolds)
 * Fixed bug: Build menu was not reliably highlighting the topmost item when searching
 * Fixed bug: flattening terrain would not update slope data, resulting in incorrect chute behavior
 * Fixed bug: Pipe connectors that were Inlets as well as Outlets were inadvertently restricting filters based on building's recipe output
 * Fixed bug: using ALT key to activate a hotkey or the 'delete block' alternate action would prevent the ability to right-click delete until cursor action changed again
 * Fixed bug: After placing a Logistic or Computational block, the cursor was not updating in a way that allowed it to be immediately deleted by right-click

.178
Released 05-December-2020


 * Fixed bug: towns could have multiple production problems if harvested regions were terraformed, resulting in navigation errors

.177
Released 04-December-2020


 * Priority Sorter
 * This patch introduces a new Logistic block called the Priority Sorter. If you place it on an intersection, it will ensure that objects moving straight through the block take priority over those entering from the sides. (Otherwise, the default merge behavior is basically random).
 * Improved Inventory Display
 * The top-right display of player inventory has had some quality-of-life improvements. The font is clearer, and displays large values of coins or items in a shortened format. To see the precise amount of coins or items you own, just hover over the icon.
 * Performance Improvements
 * A good amount of optimization work was done to make the game run smoother, load faster, and allocate less memory over time - especially when big busy towns are involved. These changes involved text display, belt/chute/pipe item creation and destruction, pathfinding, navmesh generation, computational block display, rail cart animations, and worker behavior. It appears this can result in around 20% improvement in framerate on larger maps.
 * Pipe Management
 * Making edits to tightly-packed pipes has been a source of trouble, especially in the case where you're deleting part of a pipe path that crossed over another. The game previously would automatically create an intersection when part of a crossover was deleted, which resulted in contamination (left image). Now, the game preserves the crossover, preventing the path items from mixing until the player makes more edits (right image).
 * Balance Changes
 * Filters for Mana Connectors always show all crystal types, regardless of building output, in order to handle booster outputs
 * Plant Herb no longer requires Intermediate Medicine requirement - it only requires Farming knowledge


 * Bug Fixes
 * Fixed bug: Airships carrying multiple item types would stall at a building until the building's inventory was full
 * Fixed bug: got errors loading starting maps that already had buildings on them
 * Fixed bug: A group selection containing a logic block would inadvertently highlight all connectable logic blocks. Intended behavior is these will only highlight if a single logic block is selected, so you can link it
 * Fixed bug: enormous list of items would appear if a House was hovered while a worker unit was selected
 * Fixed bug: Hitting ESC while an object was selected in a 2D Grid View would dismiss 2D view instead of deselecting the active object

.176
Released 25-November-2020


 * Campaign Map 5
 * A terraced, mountainous terrain where the player starts harvesting Mana Stones for the first time and processing them into Mana Crystals. These Crystals are like magical batteries that can be used to infuse normal objects with special attributes. But in order to master this new technology, players will first need to make use of the four NPC Enchanters scattered around the outer hills - they produce magical goods that the player can sell back at their town, in order to earn the Purple Coins needed to complete advanced research.
 * Quality-of-life
 * Infinite Research no longer automatically restarts as soon as it’s completed, which potentially consumed valuable resources unintentionally. Instead, when an Infinite Research completes, its notification panel has two buttons: “Repeat” and “Complete”. Repeat will keep the infinite research going. Complete will remove it from all Schools currently researching it.
 * Path Planner is now capable of ramping up to the highlighted endpoint. Hold CTRL for path to begin ramp up placement at beginning of path.
 * Can now specify a target endpoint height for Path Planner tool (PgUp / PgDown to change height), even with no object in place at endpoint
 * When placing resources using creative mode Place Resources tool or regular farming actions, and using a cursor tool size larger than 1x1, no longer rejects placement when center position is invalid (as other surrounding positions may be valid)
 * When you open the Build menu, the Search Text field immediately gains focus so you can just type to begin filtering for the object you want.
 * Menu items in Build menu are cached to speed up searching and navigation
 * Building a Farm, Forester, or Mine will automatically assign default ‘assist’ recipes (supplying water, fertilizer, pickaxes) when created, and will also automatically assign a resource gathering recipe as long as there is only one matching nearby resource type
 * When using the right-click delete function, the cursor tool size is always reset to 1x1 to avoid accidental deletions
 * Pipette tool will copy a Rail or Chute’s placement path direction
 * Bug Fixes
 * Fixed bug: Worker units would attempt to navigate through unpurchased terrain, resulting in them getting stuck
 * Fixed bug: OmniTemple ‘Collect Bonus’ property would not update its display when toggled on or off
 * Fixed bug: In Creative Mode, Research recipes were not correctly displaying Completed / Locked status
 * Fixed bug: A fast-moving chute item that ran into a slow-moving chute item would maintain its fast speed but move intermittently
 * Fixed bug: Path Planner tool would create invalid corners for foot paths and roads that were going down a sloped path
 * Fixed bug: Hotkeys that activated modal menus (Supply, Production, etc) would not toggle them off
 * Fixed bug: Right-clicking while dragging a path would cancel the path drag but also delete any highlighted block
 * Fixed bug: Dragging path planner tool to an elevated position and then back to initial block would incorrectly show a ramp preview tile
 * Balance Changes
 * Fire Temple now requires 200 Fire Ether instead of 100 Fire Ether to construct (to bring it in line with similar costs of other Temples)
 * Mana Pipe Connector now unlocks from Mana Transmission research instead of Mana Power research
 * Health Potion is now its own Satisfaction Category (previously coupled with Remedy) and sells for 5 Purple Coins instead of 16 Blue Coins
 * Antidote is now in the same Satisfaction Category as Remedy
 * Red Coin cost removed from Health Potion and Elixir recipes
 * Mines can now be embedded in hilly terrain
 * Wells and Water Pumps can be placed in blocks with up to 1 block unit of terrain slope
 * Sugar is now a Loose Bulk good (can be put in Chutes, Minecarts, and Hopper Cars)
 * Steam Pipe recipe has been moved to Forge, instead of Machine Shop. It also requires fewer total resources, with 2 Iron Ore and 2 Fuel to make 1 Pipe. The older recipe (2 Iron Plates to make 1 Pipe) will automatically be available in Machine Shops in older maps to prevent breakage.
 * Cost of Mana Transmitter and Receiver reduced to 10 Mana Bricks each, since they are no longer as useful
 * Other
 * Removed automatic terrain stone texture when underground resources or mine shafts
 * In Creative mode, can right-click on items in the Research panel to modify their completion state
 * Locked NPC buildings no longer count towards building maximums or victory conditions. Their assigned workers do not count towards player’s population, and assigned worker can’t be changed outside of Creative mode. Their available recipes will also be fixed based on what is selected during map editing (even if not a Trading Post)
 * In Creative Mode, can use Place Resources tool on the Mining layer to create new underground mineral deposits
 * Added new Victory Requirement configuration option: “Items Sold”. This tracks the number of specific items sold to Houses.
 * Added Traditional Chinese localization

.175
Released 16-November-2020


 * Shrine Changes
 * Increased Earth and Air Shrine area-of-effect radius
 * Fixed bug: Air Shrines were not applying effect on workers that were on Foot Paths or Roads
 * Workers can be boosted again by Air Shrines when their boost remaining falls below 20%
 * All 4 shrine types now have an additional “Apply Boost” recipe that will fill matching elemental boost meters for any buildings within their Area-of-effect
 * Mana Pipe Changes
 * Removed logic that caused Depleted Crystals to always bypass a building. In order to preserve legacy booster setups, they will still default to bypass if the access type is 'Power In', or if they are at a Mana Connector with no outlets AND the building has a booster meter. But otherwise will act like regular items in a pipe.
 * Fixed Mana Crystals being output at a building’s Input node. The only exception to this is if the building produces depleted crystals as a byproduct or has a Mana Booster, as legacy setups require Input Connectors to act as Input+Output. This issue had mainly been affecting Rechargers, causing their charged crystals to be sent out their Input connector.
 * Fixed bug: A Mana Connector with input overflow behavior set to Hold was not holding Depleted Crystals
 * “Charged Crystal” and “Depleted Crystal” are now filter options when configuring a Mana Connector
 * Depleted Crystals will default to Hold at a connector if the attached building accepts Depleted Crystals as input (e.g. Rechargers).
 * New Features
 * Added “Nothing” option to item filters, which will output no items (similar to setting to inactive state)
 * When creating a Grabber or OmniConnector (either manually, or via dragging a belt or chute away from a building) if the source building produces 2 or more items, or is a storage building containing 2 or more items, the Grabber will default to the “Nothing” filter. This gives players a chance to configure a filter before items are pulled out of the building. An exclamation point alert will be shown on the block until it is selected.
 * Can now double-click on Pipe Connector, Rail Stop, Inventory Sensors, and Agent Triggers to edit their Item Filter
 * When configuring the filter on a Pipe Connector or Grabber that is attached to a production building, only the building’s production outputs are displayed in the available filter list
 * Added 'Animate Workers' option in the Video Options panel, which turns worker bouncy movement on or off
 * Balance Changes
 * Modified several Trading Post recipes to make them more advantageous, especially ones producing basic goods
 * Added new Trading Post recipes that produce Wood Wheels, Conveyor Belts, and Rail Tiles
 * Ethers had their consumption times sped up to account for recent change that they can now be produced 4X as fast, but also decreased sell values:
 * Changed Fire Ether sell value from 15 Red Coins to 10 Red Coins
 * Changed Water Ether sell value from 10 Blue Coins to 6 Blue Coins
 * Changed Earth Ether sell value from 4 Purple Coins to 2 Purple Coins
 * Changed Air Ether sell value from 20 Yellow Coins to 15 Yellow Coins
 * Misc Bug Fixes
 * Fixed bug: could not use label filtering when filter menu was already displaying a subset of items based on parent object’s fixed filter
 * Fixed bug: Packed items would not enter storage buildings with packed item filter

.174
Released 8-November-2020


 * Fixed bug: Wood and Stone pillars were not buildable at the base of steep cliffs
 * Capped Pipe Animation speed so it would not appear backwards in cases of low framerate
 * Fixed bug: Copying and pasting compute block attributes onto another compute block would not always update the block’s icon
 * Fixed bug: Train cars would potentially load their item filters out-of-order, resulting in train engine's filter being ignored and accepting invalid goods
 * Fixed bug: Game would fail to update many world objects if there was a pipe connector without a pipe path
 * Carrot and Potatoes use Mesh Instancing for better performance

.173
Released 6-November-2020


 * Fixed bug: Airship navigation was sometimes unreliable if cursor hovered over belts, chutes, etc. when targeting its path
 * Fixed bug: Pipe connectors in the middle of vertical pipes were not treated as contiguous, and as such would hold items by default instead of bypassing
 * Fixed Mana Crystals being output at Input-only connectors, causing pipe blockage
 * Changed logic for when pipe items can jump from a building’s input connector to a non-contiguous outlet: Depleted Crystals can jump between Mana Connectors. If the connector is not a “Power” inlet, is set to Bypass AND it has no other pipe outlets, items can jump. This should prevent unwanted inputs from clogging up output pipes.

Airships and Airship Docks


 * Airships are a new worker unit that allow for flexible point-to-point delivery of goods over long distances. They have a large capacity (4 filterable slots of 25 items each), can travel through the sky above obstacles, and can pick up and drop off at any building with clearance above it. It will be very useful when you need to make a large one-off delivery, or need to move a set of goods over a crowded area.
 * This is obviously very powerful, so there are some key restrictions to make sure it doesn't make everything else in the game obsolete.
 * For one, they move pretty slowly - about 2 blocks per second. They also require 4 population capacity, so it will not be viable to spam them. They are only only available late-game (Airship research becomes available once Air Mana Purification research has been completed). And, when transferring items to and from buildings, they unload slowly (2 items / second).
 * However, there are ways to improve this performance. For one, there is a new Airship Dock storage building that holds 400 items, and can transfer 25 items a second between Airships. So for high throughput routes, you will probably want to use those at your endpoints. Another is below...

Air Shrines and Worker Boosts


 * The Air Shrine has finally been introduced! When charged with Air Crystals, the Air Shrine will apply a 'Boosted' status effect to all population-based worker units that walk within a few blocks which doubles their movement and harvesting speed. It also reaches into the sky above it, so if you put an Air Shrine along an Airship route you will get much better results!

Mana Rework


 * The Mana system has been overly complicated for a long time, frequently blocking players from progressing further in the game. So some big changes have been made to it.
 * There's a lot of details, but the tl;dr is that Mana Transmitters and Mana Receivers are no longer necessary. Instead of Mana Power, you can pipe Mana Crystals directly into and out of buildings, or deliver them with belts or workers. And, all your old pipe networks will be totally compatible with the new system. See below:
 * Here's the full changes to the Mana system:
 * Crystals can move through mana pipes without needing to be converted to & from a power format (what Transmitters and Receivers used to do).
 * Recipes that previously consumed Mana Power will instead consume physical Crystals and produce Depleted Crystals as a byproduct. You will still need to remove these from the building, or else production will be blocked. However this can be done with pipes or with other physical means like conveyor belts or workers.
 * Since many buildings will now output Depleted Crystals as a byproduct, an ‘Exclude Crystal’ filter will automatically be applied to any Grabbers or Omniconnectors in legacy maps that don’t otherwise have a filter, and will be applied by default to any new Grabbers or Omniconnectors that are created when dragging new pipe or belt paths to buildings that produce these byproducts.
 * Transmitters and Receivers will simply function as a building that provides a convenient optional interface to the mana pipe network. So that means existing Transmitters and Receivers can remain in place without having any negative effects.
 * Receivers now accept Charged or Depleted crystals. The building has 4 storage slots holding up to 20 items each, and a top-level item filter.
 * You will still need to use Rechargers to convert Depleted Crystals back to a default Charged state.
 * Mana boosters are a bit different. They still exist, but instead of slowly draining the Crystal they will simply accept or reject it if the crystal’s energy can be fully consumed. When this occurs the Crystal becomes Depleted and will proceed down the mana pipe, not stored in the building. Crystals used to power Boosters will only leave the building via Mana Pipe.
 * Crystals arriving via Pipes will attempt to load into inventory, and if that is full, will attempt to charge a Booster value. Crystals arriving via any other means (wagons, conveyor belt, etc) will not be used to power Boosters.
 * You can force a Mana Connector pipe to only supply Booster Power by changing its Access Type to the new value: “Power In”.
 * Also as a result of mana rework, the amount of Crystals consumed and converted to Depleted will change up or down, depending on recipe.

All these changes are meant to make the Mana system more consistent with how the rest of the game works, and hopefully is much easier to use.

Pipe Overflow Setting


 * There's a new "Overflow Behavior" parameter on all pipe connectors. This setting determines what happens if the connected building is full or otherwise unable to accept the pipe item. There are three settings:
 * Hold: The pipe item will stay at the connector until there is room in the building, blocking anything behind it.
 * Bypass: The pipe item will continue moving down the pipe unchanged.
 * Default: This is meant to mimic legacy pipe behavior so that existing maps don't get affected. Its effect depends on the connector setup: Mana Connectors default to ‘Hold’ behavior, unless the item is a Depleted Crystal, which will bypass. Other pipe items (Steam, Water, and Omni) default to ‘Bypass’, unless the pipe is non-contiguous, where it will default to Hold.

Additional Changes:


 * Bug Fixes
 * Fixed bug: Goods Supply Panel (shown when inspecting Markets) would display the wrong list of available goods when switching between maps with different rule sets
 * Fixed bug: non-rail units would attempt to lock to rail tile directions during placement
 * In Creative mode, all building recipes, upgrades and research are visible and available (previously were locked based on research state)
 * Fixed bug: ‘Speed: 100%’ was being shown on the building selection panel for buildings that don’t have any speed modifiers (Markets, Trading Posts, Shrines)
 * Fixed bug: Boxcar icon was wrong color
 * Cursor no longer reverts back to selection mode after placing a Temple
 * Fixed bug: Earth Shrines were not showing Area-of-effect on build or select
 * Fixed bug: Train would sometimes fail to load or unload if the Locomotive stopped in a location overlapping two different Train Stops
 * Fixed bug: blank Hotbar items would appear red / invalid on Hotbar reload
 * Fixed bug: possible unexpected behavior when copying an object without a filter onto an object with a filter
 * Fixed bug: Campaign Maps 1-4 had the ‘Restrict Minecart Inventory’ rule set to Off instead of On (fix doesn’t affect maps in progress)
 * Fixed bug: Newly-placed sign posts would not show their messages on data overlay panel (F)
 * Fixed bug: Updating Sign Post Labels and Signal Tags would not immediately update the new value on the selected item panel
 * Fixed bug: Research would jump ahead to a nearly complete state if its count was > 100 (Is a factor when research cost multiplier is > 1)
 * Fixed bug: Deactivating a Train Stop would not allow a parked train to continue moving
 * Fixed bug: A train would remain at a station attempting to transfer items in small amounts if station was slowly emptying at the same time


 * Balance Changes
 * Mana Pipe recipe outputs 4 mana pipes instead of 1.
 * Magic Conveyor Belt requires 20 fuel instead of 10
 * Magic Rail Tile requires 20 fuel instead of 10
 * Mana Brick requires 12 fuel instead of 6
 * Mana Crystal requires 10 fuel instead of 4
 * Modified several Trading Post recipes to make them more advantageous
 * Increased speed of Train Stop loading and unloading from 1 second / load to .5 seconds / load
 * Increased Yellow Coin cost of Boxcar, Tank Car, and Hopper from 100 coins to 500
 * All Mana Stone mine production recipes produce 4X output. All recipes consuming Mana Stone require 4x amount as input. (Increases throughput requirement without affecting balance)
 * All Ether production recipes produce 2X output. All recipes consuming Ether require 2X amount as input. (Again, increases throughput requirement without affecting balance)
 * Terrain Purchase starts at 500 yellow coins instead of 1000, and cost increases much slower with each subsequent purchase


 * Other Misc Changes
 * Moved ‘Custom’ game creation button above ‘Sandbox’
 * Multiple Pipe Connectors are no longer placed when click-dragging the cursor during placement
 * Added new models for growing, and fully grown Carrot & Potato resources
 * Added admin command “anim on” and “anim off” to toggle worker bounce animations

.171
Released 24-October-2020


 * Trading Posts
 * Campaign Map 4
 * Other Feature Additions & Changes
 * Added new Create Game property: Trade Recipes. This is a list of recipes that the Trading Posts will choose from on map creation. New trade recipes can be added here. Any of these recipes can be assigned to the trading post in Creative mode.
 * New option when customizing new random map: Trading Posts, which let you choose how many trading posts should spawn
 * Rail Cars now default to including top-level Train filter in its logic, but the rail car can specify whether the Train filter should be active or not. This also fixes a bug where a fixed-filter rail car (like Hopper) would ignore train filters for specific goods due to its built-in Loose Bulk filter always taking precedence.
 * ‘Packed only’ and ‘Unpacked only’ filter restrictions can now be specified for item categories like ‘Gourmet’
 * Recipes with inputs that are not produced in map (based on custom rules) are no longer automatically removed, as they may be produced by Trading Posts
 * Replaced NPC building particle effects (when they appear on a newly purchased terrain chunk) with an exclamation point icon that disappears when you select the building
 * Updated ‘Rail’ tutorial map to include Freight Cars
 * Alert icons are hidden during Campaign intro cutscenes


 * Balance Changes
 * Freight Cars are now dependent on Steam Locomotive research, not Steam Engine research
 * Removed Red Coin cost from Farm Herbs recipe
 * Campaign 2 starts player with General Store and a worker delivering Planks so they get an example of how Red Coins are produced. Also flattened out some terrain near starting area and disabled several Kitchen recipes which were impossible to produce or consume.


 * Bug Fixes
 * Fixed bug: Steam Connectors over Water Pumps could be assigned “Water” filter if an outlet pipe built from them in the same session they were created. Similar bug with Water Connectors and the Steam Generator.
 * Fixed bug: Custom recipes defaulted with Enabled property set to Off
 * Fixed bug: In creative mode, some objects were not appearing in build menus if they had been disabled by active rule set or if map launched with creative mode off
 * Fixed bug: When moving rail cars and re-attaching them to existing train, would create a bad train link that could cause errors when highlighting or deleting that train car in the future. Any bad links currently in games are automatically fixed during game load.
 * Fixed bug: Transfers to or from Rail Cars were being accidentally limited during train station stops. New behavior is that an unlimited number of items can be transferred to a single Rail Car per transfer attempt.
 * Fixed bug: Non-physical items like ‘Steam’, ‘Fuel’, ‘Knowledge’, etc would appear as pick-up options for workers, and would be transferred by ‘Deliver All’ commands
 * Fixed missing localization on ‘PlayerActionCloseTopMenu’
 * Fixed bug: placing structures would immediately show 'occupied' error after successful placement, instead of waiting for cursor to move
 * Fixed bug: when placing Farm Tiles over crops the crop icon would obscure placement position
 * Fixed bug: ALT key activation of ‘remove block’ tool would prevent correct hotbar assignments to top row
 * Fixed bug: Context commands menu would be displayed when backing out to the main menu
 * Fixed bug: Item filters specifying categories like ‘Gourmet’ would ignore packaged versions of items matching that category.
 * Fixed bug: attaching a new rail cart wouldn’t immediately apply the relevant top-level train filter

.170
Released 15-October-2020


 * Fixed launch crash introduced in .169
 * Fixed missing localization on ‘Complete Construction’ recipe output for Omnitemple

.169
Released 14-October-2020


 * Boxcar inventory increased from 40 to 50
 * Added new Interface option: ‘Secondary Action Delete’ to determine whether the right-click button destroys blocks if you click down on them. This defaults to ON for legacy players and OFF for new players.
 * Players can hold the Alt button to temporarily activate the Remove Block tool without changing their build object. (This is meant to allow for convenient block deletion even if Secondary Action Delete is off)
 * Formatting improvements to context controls menu
 * Added Camera Controls to context controls menu, when in default cursor mode
 * Fixed bug: blurry textures on some buildings
 * Fixed bug: ‘Supply All’ behavior would never supply recipe inputs that were filter categories (i.e. Fuel)
 * Fixed bug: buildings with lots of recipe inputs could have some of their ingredient icons hidden in the pop-up menu when assigning a worker behavior target
 * Fixed bug: Crystals could get stuck at an input Mana Connector on save / reload. Happened if the crystal was fully depleted, the Output connector was a separate pipe, and the output pipe was full at the time of map save / reload. Also happened if crystal was depleted when it arrived at the input connector, even without save / reload.
 * Fixed bug: deleting an entire train would fail to refund attached rail cars & their inventories
 * Fixed bug: Minecarts with filters that didn’t match Loose Bulk items would accept any item
 * Fixed bug: If Cancel action mapped to a hotkey that is not mapped to camera pan or move, it was waiting for hotkey release instead of triggering on hotkey press, making it less responsive
 * Fixed bug: when moving Conveyor Belts, the directional arrow preview would be incorrect for South and West directions
 * Fixed bug: was using wrong text for the “No Fuel” alert on Steam Locomotives

.168
Released 10-October-2020


 * Features / Improvements:
 * Added Boxcar, which is a 2-length rail car that holds 40 items
 * Added Tank Car, which is a 2-length rail car that holds 100 units of fluid
 * Added Hopper Car, which is a 2-length rail car that holds 100 units of loose bulk goods (same filter as Chute: ores, crystals, grain, flour, fertilizer, etc)
 * Boxcar, Tank Car, and Hopper Car all occupy 2 blocks and can only be loaded / unloaded at a Train Stop.
 * Added new research “Freight Cars”, which unlocks Boxcar, Tank Car, and Hopper Car.
 * Added button on Steam Locomotives to directly attach railcars to the end of the train
 * Move and rotation tools now work on entire trains
 * Added new Global Rule: Restrict Minecart Inventory. Default is ON, which adds a “Loose Bulk” top-level filter restriction to all Minecarts. Note that for any legacy maps the Default for this new rule is OFF (meaning minecarts can still load any item) to prevent interfering with current builds.
 * Newly attached train cars will follow existing track lines
 * “Gourmet Foods” store is now called “Tavern” and its building model has been updated
 * Total inventory slot capacity is displayed and not just item count
 * Campaign map 2 added a new victory condition requiring Base Level 4. This is to help guide players towards the base upgrade which is required for other buildings.
 * Tooltip for Research will indicate which worker units are unlocked by it
 * Steam Locomotive only outputs smoke particles if consuming fuel
 * ‘Rollable’ filter (items that can be transported in Chutes) has been renamed to ‘Loose Bulk’
 * Balance Changes
 * Increased maximum rail car speed on Magic Rails by 25%
 * Eggs, Ethers, and Mana Crystals (charged or depleted) are no longer considered Rollable / Loose Bulk (meaning they can no longer be placed in a Chute, or in a Hopper car)
 * Filters on minecarts and rail cars will override any train-level filters. Previously the filter effects were merged.
 * Bug Fixes
 * Fixed bug: Move Tool was unlinking rail cars and stopping worker unit behavior on selection, not on move confirmation.
 * Fixed bug: When moving a Steam Locomotive, its potential new position could be blocked by current position
 * Set default OSX rendering path back to Metal, with fallback OpenGLCore, instead of the other way around. OpenGLCore default was causing performance issues for many OSX players. If OSX players encounter display issues (missing world items) due to this change, they can specify a launch option of ‘-force-glcore’
 * Fixed bug: attached minecarts (with no Engine) were treating first minecart’s filter as a train-level filter
 * Fixed bug: hitting the ‘Go’ button on a rail car or train would not cause it to move if the game was paused

.166
Released 27-September-2020


 * Fixed bug: inconsistent behavior of camera move & pan commands
 * Fixed bug: game would ignore first input drag command (camera look, camera pan) when it regained focus after running in background
 * Fixed bug: minecarts attached to parent trains might be placed in the wrong facing direction, preventing future attachments
 * Fixed bug: was possible to dismiss some main menus by clicking outside the menu, resulting in a blank menu state

.165
Released 25-September-2020


 * When in creative mode, added ability to right-click on buildings and choose to ‘Lock’ or ‘Unlock’ them. Locked buildings will then not be modifiable by the player outside of creative mode.
 * Steam Locomotives now occupy 2 rail tiles (any existing trains will occupy the additional rail tile as soon as space is available)
 * ‘Cancel’ action is now mapped to RMB by default (mapping is preserved for previous players). It triggers only if click down + click up occurs without dragging or performing another action, so it won’t interfere with other action mappings. NOTE: Players from previous versions will have this mapped to Z, if you want this new behavior, you will need to manually remap using Options / Controls.
 * New Input option: ‘Close Top Menu’. Used to back out of menus, without having to use ESC (which is not remappable). Default key is Z
 * Can now right-click on Hotbar item to show ‘Delete’ option, that removes it from the hotbar
 * Improved display of Goods Supply panel, now Supply and Happiness status meters are shown separately, and removed obsolete item tier icon
 * House happiness panel now shows a checkmark icon for “Supplied” state instead of a less-relevant timer icon for consumption time
 * Fixed bug: Mines would occasionally get stuck in a state where they stop producing anything. Any mines that were currently stuck are fixed upon map load
 * Fixed bug: was failing to load custom presets for rules, scenarios, and maps in Create Game menu
 * Fixed bug: when trying to move invalid buildings, error message was shown when placing buildings instead of when trying to pick it up
 * Fixed bug: Inputs mapped to Select Column and Select Block did not have any effect
 * Fixed bug: minecarts accepting items that didn’t match filter (happened if minecart and loader had completely conflicting filters, game treated that as an ‘accept everything’ case instead of a ‘exclude everything’ case)

.163
Released 9-September-2020


 * Added Multi-item filters, with the ability to flag items as packed only/unpacked only (or both), exclude items, require items (for testing worker units that can carry multiple types)
 * More objects have top-level Item Filter - Train Stops, Fuel Loaders, Minecart Loaders, and all worker units
 * Added Merge block that only allows a balanced number of items into the block from different directions. Works as 2-way or 3-way balancer. Default ratios are 1:1 but you can specify different ratios for the straight, left, and right input directions.
 * Added Natural Resource config to the Edit Rules menu. Can change display name, as well as a “Preserve When Depleted” flag that, if enabled, will re-plant the crop (or preserve a ‘depleted’ form of the ore/mineral) once all the resources have been harvested from it - whether or not there is a linked production building.
 * Added terrain texture painting in Creative mode, and painted previous campaign maps
 * Train cars will now merge their filter with the Engine’s item filter - previously it would just override it. Exclude flag can be used in cases where player doesn’t want an item into a train car that the engine’s filter would otherwise include
 * Can no longer move Storage buildings (barn, base, rail depot, silo, crate) if they have inventory items in them.
 * New global rule: “Allow Storage Moving” which prevents players from moving storage buildings that contain items. In creative mode, this rule doesn’t apply. You can still move empty storage buildings at any time.
 * Steam Locomotives will move (slowly) even when they are out of fuel or water
 * Minecarts can now load and unload at Minecart Loaders (previously, Rail Loaders) even if they are part of a Train.
 * Opening the Text / Number input panel won’t deselect the active item
 * Improved icon for Splitter
 * Right-click actions now only count full click down + release (not just right-click-down)
 * Fishing boats now have a fixed top-level filter of ‘Fish’, rather than an assigned Fish type on its inventory slot (for consistency)
 * Train Cars will show parent filter (based on train Locomotive) in display-only format on their selection panel
 * Steam Locomotives show an alert when they are missing fuel or water
 * Can toggle overhead view on or off without changing build object
 * Fixed bug: Display bug where objects were invisible on OSX (by changing default graphics API from Metal to OpenGL)
 * Fixed bug: natural resources showing a blank ‘Inputs’ row on item hover tooltip
 * Fixed bug: could click outside of Edit Rules menu when creating new game to be left with blank UI
 * Fixed bug: Object Labels would still be shown on path and logic blocks even if turned off in preferences
 * Fixed bug: Was not activating Mining layer when using Prospecting or Mine Shaft tools, which resulted in confusing behavior and error messages
 * Fixed bug: Water, Steam, and Omni connectors would produce items even if active state set to Off
 * Fixed bug: Water and Steam connectors were missing ‘In+Out’ access type (Mana Connectors intentionally do not have this, for now)

.162
Released 30-August-2020


 * Added Campaign Map #3 - takes player through Mining, Machinery, Boating, Fishing, and basic Railway technologies. Map is full of large islands, so Cargo Boats are useful to move goods between mining regions. A few flat areas for minecart loops to help produce all the necessary resources.
 * Added smoother texture blending to underwater terrain
 * Items that are impossible to produce (based on custom rules) are automatically hidden from House Happiness panel
 * Added new Biome: Mesa Valleys
 * Added recipe inputs to item tooltip panel
 * Tree, Bush, and Vine crops (Apple, Pear, Cotton, Berries, Herb, and Tomato) will now automatically replant when depleted. Their baseline item capacity and default grow speed (unless boosted by Farm Tile or Tree Planter) have both been significantly decreased.
 * Herb is no longer sellable on its own for Yellow Coins
 * Medicine research is now “Intermediate Medicine”. Advanced Medicine and Basic Medicine were added as new research options. These are both retroactively marked as complete for any maps that had previously completed Medicine research.
 * Got rid of house level requirements for selling specific items
 * Removed Lumber Mill requirement for wooden scaffold blocks
 * Fixed bug: hidden / disabled research was showing up on Research menu
 * Fixed bug: missing tooltips on Research menu
 * Fixed bug: could break functionality of House Happiness panel if you loaded a map with limited satisfaction categories after playing a map with more categories available
 * Fixed bug: Water was missing in ‘Edit Biome’ view
 * Fixed bug: extending a chute in a side direction would stall out items that had been stuck at previous end of chute
 * Fixed bug: unnecessary error logging when trying to transfer items to buildings that have unique item slots that are also full
 * Fixed bug - Replacing a Sensor Block with same structure type would leave invalid references to replaced block, potentially triggering lots of unexpected path item behaviors
 * Fixed bug - opening "edit rules" or "edit victory conditions" menus during a game unpauses it
 * Fixed bug - Victory flag could persist in game state if starting a new custom map after achieving victory on another map in the same session (flag Is cleared on legacy maps that don’t meet current victory conditions)
 * Fixed bug - Infinite research unlocks were not displayed after victory screen displayed
 * Fixed bug - missing label on ‘Construction Complete’ tooltip alert for OmniTemple
 * Fixed bug - using Upgrade hotkey to upgrade multiple buildings could upgrade more buildings than player could actually afford
 * Fixed bug: Moving or placing a house within a Market network did not immediately trigger goods being sold to that house

.161
Released 24-August-2020


 * Fixed bug: Data Overlay key (Default: F) showing invalid header label for objects
 * Fixed bug: default mapping of R = Rotate Object was hiding other default mapping of R = Open Research Menu. The game now does a separate test for inputs when objects are selected, allowing inputs to pass through to the default input context when nothing is selected
 * Fixed bug: Completed research was not categorized as such on the Research Panel
 * Fixed bug: Creating a new map and placing initial base position did not show a preview of the Base building
 * Fixed bug: Creating a new custom map would initialize to the same random number every time

 * Fixed bug: inconsistent appearance of ‘Close’ and ‘Pin’ button on Goods Supply panel
 * House Happiness Panel is now pinnable
 * Fixed bug: tutorial tips specified the ‘Move Tool’ instead of the ‘Pick Up Item Tool’ for removing items stuck on chutes
 * Fixed bug: copied buildings with elemental boosters would not have the correct booster when pasted, nor could the booster be added manually

.143
Released 28-January-2020

 * Fixed bug: was unable to create buildings on scaffolds

.142
Released 28-January-2020


 * Version notes now links to external Steam news page
 * Fixed Bug: Clicking on an inventory slot while the item filter panel up would break cursor functionality

 * Units with more than 1 inventory slot (Caravans and Cargo Boats) can open up an expanded inventory detail panel that shows all slots at the same time
 * When moving a single building over a cliff, the cursor will jump to the height of the top of the cliff as it does when creating a single building
 * Building placement is now correctly marked as invalid when moving or pasting into a center position that is occupied by a terrain cliff

.141
Released 26-January-2020


 * New map customization option: Resources. Adjust each resource's patch size / richness, or select from a preset, or randomize
 * All resources and wider terrain area are now visible when creating maps
 * New map customization option: 'Decrease distant resources', which reduces farmable crops as distance from center increases. Default is ON for new maps to reduce crowding

Big change is new Happiness system. I wasn't happy with the old system where your worker cap would decrease. It was confusing and unsatisfying.
