Alpha 3 patch 1

Added/changed:

Added a description for Empty function
Added some more on-screen reminders on how to start your town (Clay pit, Thatchery, Charcoal pile, Forestry workers)
Construction menu now divides to pages if doesn’t fit on screen
Wagons will now need horseshoes and tack replacements after some time
Salaries and rents are now payed daily rather than every frame, thus making the economy consistent in all game speeds
Not allowing to demolish field with harvest anymore
Added tooltips on resource icons in tannery

Fixed:

Tannery stuck in gathering (rare)
Crash when relocating pigs
A carpenter could choose a horse that’s being relocated, leading to later crash
Could build coastal buildings in inaccessible areas
Construction workers had their path needlessly recalculated
Stone mining could stop if limestone deposits are inaccessible (yeah, vice versa)
Wagons could deliver the same construction resource twice (left in a building afterwards)
Church and chapel requirement didn’t care if its construction is not finished
Cows could be stuck relocation
Crash on loading some saves
Jerky movements of wagon wheels in later game
When demolishing a forestry, a leftover log could be never picked up
People and animals aged less if played on lower game speeds
Wagons never wear out
Wagon shed workers could neglect supplying for horses
Laborers in fact received the same wage as workers despite coefficient
A pig marked for slaughter manually could be slaughtered twice
Some weirdness during windmill demolishing
Horse tack trade was broken

Any time frame on adding iron, salt, and other things that are currently only accessible in the market? Also very limited resources in limestone and stone could use a bump. Perhaps a configuration on resource availability (sparse, normal, abundant, unlimited) at game start?
Jeffrey Harding

Hi there, anyway you can allow us to demolish clay pits?

Three thing is making the game sucks. Wheat finishing without a reason. And you cannot save something for animals that living on it. Second is the resources you cannot gather and had to buy it. Third the farm mechanics.
- Bill Franklin
  
  “game sucks” is terrible way to give feedback. giving suggestions to the developer is much more constructive. Something like, “It would be useful to be able to prioritize animal needs for food”, and “I think it would really be great to be able to produce all the resources we have to currently buy in the market.”, and “The farm mechanics need work, here is what I suggest…”

    my great apologies to you and the developer and all the other guys in here. i was so angry when i wrote that comment cause I lost everything in just one game year.
    hope to forgive me https://media1.giphy.com/media/SDDe37YJq7xC0/giphy.gif

      I feel your pain, that’s happened to me plenty of times when I had plenty of food for the animals they just kept starving to death.

  In real farming if you don’t bring in your harvest before the first snow you lose it to rot. It should be noted that Wheat is especially vulnerable to rot. Potatoes and other root crops can be left in the ground until it gets really cold. Buck Wheat is a short season crop and realistically should be harvested before any other crop is ready. Buck Wheat is also tolerant of poor soils and drought. For some reason in Ostriv, they don’t take the Buck Wheat to the mill to be ground into Buck Wheat flour.

where do we get the patch … at Humble Bundle OR via Stream if we have a Steam account
- Bill Franklin
  
  if you have the steam key applied and you installed from steam, it should update from steam. It was queued up to update when I checked and I just told it to skip the queue and started playing pretty quickly afterward.
MUSH

Polish language please
- Bill Franklin
  
  A way to allow the community to provide translation would be a great idea.
  - KharmaScribbles
    
    Will Ostriv support my language?
    Most likely – yes. When the game will have at least 90% of its texts ready, new languages support will be implemented either natively or through community translations as third-party modifications (when such will be made possible). At the moment the game is constantly being changed and still lots of texts are to be added.

Recommendation for an exploit fix. Add a “reputation” to the town. If people leave due to going bankrupt, or starving, lower the reputation. If people are well fed and the economy is good, raise the reputation. Right now it is too easy to just rob the residents and as soon as they leave another family moves in with around 10 coins, then you rob them, they leave, new one comes in, rinse repeat. Let bad reputation decay over time, but make the new residents have less coins if the reputation is bad.

Any chance of a “sandbox” mode being implemented with unlimited money? Just to have fun and learn new ways
- Dave Uebel
  
  I know it’s not an exact fix, but set all the pay rates and market tax to 0 and your money never really changes except for import and export.
Justin Leverett

Also, when trying to empty a weavers workshop, the button to transfer to another shop is off screen and cannot be reached.

How do you get the patch … from HUMBLE BUNDLE or thru Steam if you have the game there? I just got Steam and do not know what to do.
Robert Mawn

I’m sorry, but I don’t see the patch file.
Matylda Garufo

could you perhaps make stone and limestone respawn after its mined? don’t have to be instant but it would be nice if these rss could regenerate ater like 2 years in game. i know it’s not super realistic but it really stalls the gameplay when suddenly you can’t make leather anymore and have to import lime all the time. thank you, love the game 🙂
Robert Mawn

Still no patch file available! I tried reloading the game but the market stalls still don’t work. Have not been able to play the game now for three weeks!
Robert Mawn

Well they fixed the markets stalls, but now I can’t choose what to grow on the farms! This game is no longer enjoyable to play! I also miss the “y” key being used to turn a building 180 degrees. Did some one actually complain? It was very handy to be able to reverse what direction a building was facing.
