Important Note

- The new Statistics Screen will in some cases not show correct data and needs to collect new data if a save game from an older version of the game is loaded.
- Old Share Codes for Map Settings are no longer valid.

Added

- Scenarios: Added 5 scenarios to the game. Scenarios are challenging winning conditions under which you can play/beat the game. Every scenario has three completion levels and you can earn medals while progressing. Scenarios can also completely alter the way you have to approach and play the game. In the “long summer” scenario, for example, you have to survive long drought periods, making stockpiling food & water and buildings like the Irrigation Plant much more important.
- Game Options: Added many different game options to adjust and fine tune your gaming experience. With these options you can adjust the overall difficulty and playstyle.
- Game Options: Added game option presets so you don’t have to manually adjust all the different options by hand every time. The presets include “Easy Mode”, “Builder Mode” or even “Hard Mode” if you are looking for a challenging experience.
- Achievements: Added new achievements for beating all the different scenarios.
- Statistics: A completely new statistics screen has been added that provides detailed graphs about Production and Storage of Resources, Population and Buildings (See Important Notes).
- Main Menu: A Scenario Selection Menu has been added to the Main Menu
- Side Missions: Added 2 new Outlander Side Missions (you need to upgrade your Town Center twice to get outlander missions)
- Tutorial: Added voice overs to the tutorial in German and English

Fixed

- Upgrades: Fixed a bug when canceling the demolition of a building that should be upgraded.
- Tutorial: Fixed cemetery link in tutorial.
- Localization: Many proofreading fixes for german localization.
- Savegames: Day Time Range is no longer part of a savegame. This should fix possible problems where the game was stuck in night or day mode.
- Savegames: Fixed older savegames, which were broken due to new resource category.
- Settlers: Fixed bug for manual profession distribution on 300+ Settlers.
- Settlers: The profession list can now be scrolled correctly and is no longer blocked by headlines.
- Electricity: Fixing Power Poles not being connected, although the preview showed this.
- Electricity: Fixed Weather Station electricity tab not closing correctly.

Tweaked

- Main Menu: Changed the structure when starting a new session in the game menu.
- Side Missions: Tweaked several Side Missions and removed building goals where possible, so you are not forced to place buildings.
- Forester Lodge: Foresters now immediately plant a new tree after cutting a tree down, if replanting is enabled.
- Balancing: Changed preset maximum production amount of various resources (protective clothing, Hemp, Weed, Liquor, Ale, expedition rations).
- Balancing: Tweaked growth times and crop output of field and plantation seeds.
- Balancing: Berries and mushrooms now spawn more food.
- Buildings: Tweaked pathways for the Pub.

Known Issues

- Localization: Some parts of the new statistics screen and the main menu are auto translated.
- Statistics: Pie Charts and Bar Charts in the Dashboard on the left side of the new Statistics Screen are sporadically flickering when changing between windows.

- Gamepad now scrolls through menus quicker. Scroll through your dozens of ornaments faster than ever before!
- Improve Gadget Mode messaging to better emphasize the ability to rotate gadgets.

- Fixed a bug where Range Exchange reward crates were not persisting between sessions.
- Fixed a UI issue so mouse icons will properly display in tutorial popups.
- Fixed an issue where the autosave icon wasn’t appearing when the game autosaved after a rancher got knocked out.
- Fixed some bugs that were resulting in errors when trying to load an existing save.
- Fixed an issue where Mochi’s Nimble Valley tutorials weren’t clearing properly.

Patch 1.03 (30 May 2020)

Changelog posted in the game forum by the devs here.

Update 1.037 (1 June 2020)

Warriors! Today is a good day to die. Perma-die. Your continuous support keeps us working on improving ELDERBORN and today marks the addition of a much player-requested feature. As if the game wasn't hard enough (yeah, we know it's not for some of you - hats off!), you wanted to have the option to play with permadeath. As in no respawn. You die, you're dead-dead, and the game removes your save file. Yea, some of you feel THAT cocky. So here it is...
Ironman Mode!
This option can only be applied to a new game, so if you want a really hardcore challenge of conduid-filled NG+ and permadeath combined, you need to prove yourself first by completing the base campaign without dying once. The new play mode also comes with an appropriate new achievement to hunt for. Good hunting!

MORE LANGUAGES!
But there's more! Today's update introduces 2 new language packs to ELDERBORN. Players in Russia and Hungaria are now able to enjoy the game in their respective native tongues. This brings us to a total of 8 language versions, including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, Polish, and Hungarian. We'd like to thank the amazing Lostprophet.hu of the Babble Knights translator team for supporting the Hungarian LOC. The Russian version was prepared by Roboto Global.

That's it for today. We'll see you around, as there's much more Hyperstrange news to be excited about in the near future. We'll keep you posted, so stick around!
