Update 0.202 (25 April 2019)

We're very pleased to announce that our first major update for Empires of the Undergrowth, the Leafcutter Update, is now available for Windows, Mac & Linux! Featuring an all-new rain forest environment with new critters of all sizes, two new levels which will see you face off against fully-fledged colonies, and a new Formicarium Challenge where the dastardly scientists have something special planned for you. The jungle floor stirs. Ants of all sizes creep out of their holes to harvest the nearby foliage, travelling far and wide to find the choicest leaves. The odds are stacked against these fledgling colonies - you may be tempted to discount creatures that forage for leaves but with huge crushing mandibles on their side, they are not to be underestimated.

Headline Features

New Formicarium Tier Added
* New playable species - The Leafcutters
* Featuring 4 sizes of ant (minims, minors, media and major) which can walk under / over one another
* Major leafcutters are tank units with very high health and come in two forms:
* Stun majors stun targets for 4s and at level 3 will slow them to a crawl for a further 4s
* Taunt majors force targets to attack them for 4s and at level 3 at 50% health will reduce all incoming damage by 80% for 4s
* Unique resource management
* Leafcutters need leaves to cultivate a special fungus which is their only source of food!
* Leaves can be gathered on the surface from various climbable plants
* Once gathered leaves are taken to a leaf drop-off chamber
* Each nursery built spawns a free minim ant (tiny leafcutter)
* The minims take the leaves from the leaf drop-off to nurseries where it is cultivated into fungus that can be spent
* Once fungus is spent, its remains will need to be taken to a refuse chamber where it can safely decompose
* The distance between nurseries, leaf drop off chambers and refuse chambers affects the efficient processing of leaves leading to some careful colony design decisions.
* Two new levels in the rainforests of Ecuador
* Two very different levels with unique challenges and threats with carefully designed difficulty settings to suit you level of play!
* The new environments offer a host of new fauna and flora and have a very different feel to them from previous levels

* Do you think you could hate the evil scientist any more? We think you might after you see what he has in store!
* Add the mighty leafcutter major to your formicarium!
* 4 unique upgrade options
* Sharp - This aura causes attackers of the major and any nearby friendly creatures to reflect an amount of damage back to themselves
* Resilient - This aura causes the major and any nearby friendly creatures to take less damage each hit
* Durable - All incoming damage to the major is reduced by a set amount
* Shockproof - Limits damage to the major in any single hit
* 4 improvement upgrades to spend that extra jelly on!
* More than double the enemy creatures!
* Variety is the spice of life and the rainforest is the king of variety! Each of the new creatures comes with its own stats and abilities and will require their own approach to take down

Other changes and improvements

Update 0.2.3.1003/ Hotfix (24 Apr 2019)

Posted by the devs here.

Update 1.73 (17 April 2019)

Right...we have not had a list of changes this big for a while. Some good ones in here, I'm excited about changes to the price slider. I know its not perfect, but I think its way better. Plus the rapid shipping thing is cool. And yet more performance improvements (I'm determined to have it running silky smooth for you people with insane-size factories).

1) [GUI] The choose company logo window is now larger if space allows.
2) [GUI] Fixed some locations where numbers greater than 2 billion were still displayed wrongly.
3) [Bug] Fixed resource bug whereby with 'prefer local' setting, a slot could ignore nearby supply stockpiles and use importers instead if there was no local production in the factory or local items in the stockpile.
4) [Performance] Overhead resource items not drawn when very zoomed out or if frame rate is low and fairly zoomed out.
5) [Balance] Fitting the high performance powertrain now has a speed penalty to bring it more in line with other engine upgrades.
6) [Bug] FINALLY fixed that long standing graphical glitch where newly placed slots sometimes had 1 or 2 little decorative items that stopped a few pixels short of landing until you moved the camera.
7) [Bug] Fixed slight visual anomaly where a car might initially face the wrong way when waiting to be processed at a smart junction.
8) [GUI] Clicking the power gauge before power plants are researched will launch the research screen focused on powerplant research now.
9) [Feature] Added a new button at the top of the slot picker that toggles the display of blueprints on and off while the game is in the normal factory view mode.
10) [GUI] Clamped map scrolling so its impossible to scroll the whole world offscreen.
11) [GUI] Mod browser now shows red/green for disabled/enabled status on the left hand side.
12) [Bug] Fixed a few visual anomalies on the vehicle design screen previews with layers showing incorrectly.
13) [GUI] Basic car now hidden as a feature for smart junctions, but basic features like solid roof are now selectable.
14) [GUI] Smart junctions now show what mode they are in, and if feature mode, what feature(s) are being filtered when hovering mouse over them. Also support 2 features at a time.
15) [Balance] A series of balance changes to enable the manufacturing slots for seats,aircon,sunroofs,panoramic sunroofs and fuel tanks to produce multiple items in one go.
16) [Balance] Adjustments to improve competitiveness of some manufacturing slots such as chip production,arches,bumpers,brakes and heated wing mirrors & steering wheels.
17) [Content] Added new researchable rapid shipping slot which reduces shipping time by 25%.
18) [Feature] The game now saves the current mod list in save games and warns on load if a specific mod is not installed and enabled.
19) [Performance] Major speedup to path-finding to reduce lag after loading game or placing/changing resource conveyors.
20) [Bug] Fixed bug with global local setting for resource imports.
21) [Balance] Changed R&D so that smart junctions can be researched earlier and more quickly, whereas predictive stock control requires turbo charged conveyors.
22) [Bug] Fixed bug where the player has named multiple zones identically in a custom map, and therefore savedgames only unlock the first zone of that name (now all get unlocked).
23) [Bug] Doubled size of maximum objects and increased performance for assigning them to prevent random crash with super-huge factories.
24) [GUI] Improved the design of the vehicle price slider.
25) [GUI] Fixed UI issue where the width of the 'defects' tooltip for vehicles was too long in rare cases.

Hope you like the changes. if I have broken anything at all, please let me know!

Update 1.0.4 (21 March 2019)

In version 1.0.4 we have addressed a number of text errors and graphical glitches. Thanks to everyone who has reported bugs on forums, via email etc.

Here's a quick summary of the most important changes:

* Fixed the most common text glitch concerning Day 3 results screen, poison and Cody.
* Added a missing [Drop item to set up] to a couple of items (Powered gas heater, activated Heat Absorber)
* Movement speed (animations) of locust and spiders have been adjusted.
* Several instances of dialogues had mismatched lines. This has been corrected.
* Random dialogues between NPCs were occurring a bit too often. A delay between them has been slightly increased.
* Music during the final sequence was not looping. That has been fixed.

* Day 4 Death screens were mixed up.
* On the Construction Site, some of the background elements were visually unaffected by the sunset.
* Other small glitches
* A typo here and there

Please continue to let us know when you encounter bugs and we'll fix them ASAP! Thanks to everyone who has supported us so far... your comments and reviews mean a lot!
