Dear Mages-Rulers!
Here is the latest update that introduces several important fixes that improve the game experience. Thank you for all the feedback you have sent us - without your support, the development of Driftland would not have been possible!

Update Notes

- AI tuning increasing the responsiveness of executing orders
- Fixed a bug that could cause characters to ignore and not participate in the fight
- HP bars change color when using the Color Replacement feature
- Island connected +100 works only once (because the player could theoretically join the same island over and over and earn money)
- Minor UI corrections (too large margins corrections in several windows etc.)
- Text corrections and addition of some missing translations
- Some additional blue arrows in the Nomads tutorial
- Additional marking of mission objectives in the Tutorial

May your lands remain unshattered
- Star Drifters Team

--Changelog 6/7/20--

- Fixed an inconsistency on regular 2_03 and pad 3_04
- Fixed the "bridge crossed" achievement not triggering
- an assortment of minor material tweaks

Balance/Improvements

- When zoned staff don't have a task they will return to and stay in their zone. They can still exit their zones to complete any part of an assigned task e.g. to reach a dispenser or if the shortest route to a task is outside the zone.
- Zoned staff are assigned tasks before non-zoned staff. This means when a new day starts, they will have first pick of the tasks and then non-zoned staff will collect tasks from the ones that are remaining.
- Guests will not be attracted to podiums if they have already heard the current talk.
- Prestige generated by guests who have left the aquarium will continue to count toward your prestige total until they decay in the normal way (1 game day after the prestige was generated). Previously, you lost the prestige immediately when the guest left.*
- Smoothed out work done when a new day starts to reduce the frame spike in large aquariums.

Bugs

- Sandbox: merchants and trades which provide shoalers will give 1 extra animal so it can be traded away.
- Fixed bug where guest thoughts would show the thoughts that were generated the latest in the day, rather than most recently, first.
- Removed large margin on right hand side of dropdown items to make more space for the text.
- Fixed bug where accessory icon stayed grey in staff manage tab even after it has been collected.
- French and Russian: money symbol next to current money will not roll onto next line.

*In practice this won't make a large difference. In medium to large aquariums, guest prestige tends to decay before they leave anyway. However this small tweak will make the mechanic easier to understand. Your prestige total is simply the amount of prestige generated in the last game day.

Update 1.0.17.2 (05 July 2020)

- There is now a fancier system for choosing the screen resolution and window size for the game.
- You can now place and remove windows.

BUG FIX

- Some panels still have minimal problems with Russian regarding text width recognition

~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~

Update 0.18.20 Tenets & Traditions HOTFIX3 (03 July 2020)

Update 9 (3 July 2020)

Patch notes posted in the game forum by the devs here.

Patch V0.0.42.32300 (2 July 2020) - Part I

Stone Age Firefighters
With the introduction of crazier fire, we had to revisit our firefighters to make their crazy match the fire’s level of crazy. Fires pop up a lot, either as a result of mother nature or an unfortunate accident on your part. It’s important to have competent (ok, somewhat competent) Nuggets running around with buckets of water from the early stages. Give a warm welcome to the new firefighters!

New Quest Panel
Ever wonder about the life trials and tribulations your Nuggets go through? We've added a Stories Panel where you can keep track and see the progress of your civilization's experiences! Think of it like a nice little scrapbook that you keep as your world grows up. We’ll be adding more quests in the future so keep an eye out for updates to the Stories.

Fire Quest
Now more than ever, firefighters will be doing their best to explain proper safety guidelines to the rest of the Nuggets. Despite their efforts, there’s still going to be a lot of work for you to do. In extreme situations, like the imminent destruction of your city, it may be a good time to step in. In order to do so as effectively as possible, you will have to learn the proper approach to dealing with fire. Hopefully you get the instructions in time!

Toxic Lakes Quest
Before you enter space, you will have to learn how to smooth out the rougher features of planets along your journey to conquer the galaxy. As your civilization evolves, it produces more and more waste that pollutes the environment. This affects the overall health of your planet and your oceans. Oceans in return become toxic and make your Nuggets’ lives even harder than usual. It is your responsibility to ensure that your civilization stays in top health. In order to achieve that, you might want to learn some additional skills.

New Ocean Shader
The ocean always inspires the imagination and brings joy to the soul… at least the real ones. We changed the look of the planet, vegetation, and animals, but we always kept our oceans the same. As the years went by, our water shader became less appealing and stood out against the higher fidelity assets. We took some time to make it shine. Take a look!

Blizzard & Heatwave
As we worked on all the climate stuff, we had to review our natural disasters. Sandstorms just weren’t cutting it anymore, so we had to add in something new. Introducing Blizzards and Heatwaves! These two disasters will replace Sandstorms and occur based on the current season. No more dust! It’s way worse now. Better get those Forecast Towers and Bunkers built!

Nuggets Oxygen Suffocation
As we get closer to the Space Age, we are slowly reworking certain Nugget indicators. It’s a little difficult for Nuggets to survive without oxygen, so it’s probably a good time to improve how those details are displayed. The Nugget Panel now shows the current oxygen level for the selected Nugget and all effects applied to the oxygen level. Just try keep it above 0 and there won’t be too much trouble.

Population
We’ve been hearing that some folks are having an issue with their population and we want to make sure that it’s not a struggle to keep your Nuggets’ numbers up outside of disasters or poor environmental conditions. We’ve made some changes behind the scenes to the population that we hope will be more fun to manage as no one likes to have a sparsely populated ant farm. This will also make disasters a little more forgiving. Please be sure to give us your population feedback in the future so we can always better tune your Nuggets’ wiring to make your guardianship of your hapless Nuggets more rewarding.

Nugget Needs AI
Rewritten from scratch! This AI was responsible for what Nuggets decided to do (or not do). The rewrite has allowed us to fine-tune their behavior and ensure that they will respond to their needs without hesitation. This isn’t like working for a really pushy boss -- Nuggets get to use the bathroom or eat once in a while (and won’t get forced to do both at the same time for the sake of efficiency). This also applies to which needs outweigh others, so Nugget won’t have any more internal conflict about whether to grab a drink or bite into a burger, based on which action is the wiser choice. Faster need fulfillment achieved!

Nugget Combat
Nuggets weren’t very good fighters in the past. Sometimes, they would charge into battle backwards, or become oddly picky about which opponent to fight and run back and forth weighing their options. While this makes for excellent diversionary tactics, it doesn’t work so well if they aren’t intended to be a diversion. Next time your Nuggets engage in combat, keep an eye out for their refined aim and precision!

Temperature affects crops and fishing hut
Previously, Farms and Fisheries weren’t affected by local temperatures. They were pretty binary, based on the seasons. Now the local placement of these facilities will affect how well they operate during winter and summer. For instance, placing a Fishery near a desert biome will keep them running during winter, while mountainous regions could be a bit colder even during summer.

Planet temperatures rebalanced
In preparation for the colonization of alien planets, we had to revisit our global temperature systems again and calibrate them to more precisely match expected values for each season. Since climates will play such a big role in colonizing planets (and determining their habitability), we needed to ensure it’s a well-balanced system. Plus, it helped introduce Blizzards and Heatwaves. You can thank us later.

Lightning Strike Creator Power
We reduced the rate of charging Batteries with the Lightning Strike Creator Power. Previously, using a single bolt of lightning would completely charge Batteries, which made other generation systems pretty much obsolete. While Creator Powers are meant to help your civilization and feel powerful, we didn’t want them to make other systems completely redundant. Thus, Lightning Strikes will now only charge Batteries by 25% of their capacity.

Residential Area
We reworked how households operate to make everything way less weird and complicated. The old system saw offspring stay in the same house their entire lives, well after their parents have passed, even if another couple became the new owners. This isn’t an American sitcom about that guy who randomly lives in someone else’s house and eats all the cereal. The same thing applies to if a Nugget loses their spouse and remarries. They will now move into the same house, as opposed to living in two separate houses. While the old way was probably healthier for their marriage, the new way is more efficient for the real estate market. Plus, all of this residential madness made mating really difficult and buggy. No one wants that.

Other Changes:
- UFO appearance rate decreased by 15%
- If nugget dies inside the building, his body would appear outside the building
- Optimized Research Tree performance
- Nuggets are able to break out of University and construction AI before completing that AI if needed.
- Improved auto building placement
- Infected nuggets are not being slowed anymore
- Nuggets that have a low stamina level will lose 30% of their speed
- Infection zones are not a clickable element in the news messages which upon clicking on them allows you to fly to those locations.
- The chance of getting sick from dead bodies was lowered by 50%
- Dead bodies take 1.5 times longer to decay
- Toxic lakes won’t become toxic as fast as they were previously.
- Lightning strike could have spawned fire at the start of the game where player was not able to fight with it
