BETA 53C BETA 53C: QUALITY OF LIFE

meat from when animals 'butcher' a corpse inside civilization will automatically be claimed by player
Naturalist's Office given better tooltips
event arcs made smarter about pushing information to ticker history
added Quality of Life ratings (& more info in the pipe)
added more functionality to the character tooltip (more to come): Will show more information about why a character is not doing something useful and what to do about it. This will be improved for the subsequent patch. Also shows some info about their Quality of Life, and this will be more quantified and clear in the next update.
Quality of Life attributes for characters are more closely attached to specific emotional states in order to make it easier to provide clear solution steps via the UI for a character's state.
added a little icon for whether characters are currently on-shift to the tooltip
character tooltip info now visible in the work crew screen and the population list UI elements, because we all wanted them there in the first place.
population list window has been edited to show more information, the filters have been temporarily removed (but will likely be back once we have some more testing of the default state).
added Bureaucrat's Desk: These can be built in the foreign office as an upgrade over Standing Desks to speed up your diplomacy point acquisition.
Novorus Logging Moratorium and Stahlmark Smithing Prowess foreign office events are now tracked using the event arc system
added new acceleration code for closest lambda queries (optimization!)
added more terrain softening between alpine clearing and temperate swamp
balance: cultist murderer option now easier to access
balance: halved the maximum number of characters you can receive from a single immigration wave
balance: failed upkeep now makes work take ~8x as long rather than completely shutting down workshops
FIXED: workcrew UI for farms no longer forgets that a work crew is assigned to a farm unless they're currently farming.
FIXED: some bad widget deletions causing Bad Things.
FIXED: military morale check was backwards
FIXED: crash when clicking on module button rapidly
FIXED: some memory handling issue with UI elements
FIXED: some module costs
FIXED: horrifying infinite loop bug when acquiring 2nd bonus ore vein in mines
FIXED: scripterror in rogue artist event
FIXED: female armoured bandit did not have class-based anim defs leading to very rare errors that would freeze colonists in place forever under certain conditions
FIXED: scripterror in Rogue Stahlmarkian if rare conditions occur
FIXED: can no longer hit demolition many times on a building and cause errors
FIXED (53B): skill values (with strong practical applications to Laboratory)
FIXED: stacks not un-trade designating
FIXED: subtle errors in Foreign Office to do with missions that involve requesting traders
FIXED: beetles wouldn't drop lacquer
FIXED: broken icon in alert for favour_redcoats
FIXED: broken fishperson job loop under certain circumstances
FIXED: math error in disturbance points that made them higher than intended
FIXED: military won't butcher corpses unless exceptional circumstances prevail

 

IF outside of civilization. (I should make it so if the harvester is a colonist, it is auto-claimed .... )

The latter.

They should be doing the latter.


... no scripterrors for me? I guess I'll just ... be over here if anyone needs anything. Coffee? Scone?

 

Oh, tagging for hunting will *not* get the military to attack them. It should get Naturalists & crew to prioritize them, however.

Already made the change!

I'll try to have a look at the hunting job switch thing and see if I can find anything wrong.

 

Loaded it up. Two things: the Foreign Office upkeep job got picked up naturally after morning came around. The Mine upkeep job wasn't firing and was giving the error about requiring certain materials, so I dropped a bunch of overseers and upkeep trunks in -- it took a shift or so, but someone took on the job and completed it. Now of course you *did* have a bunch of upkeep trunks already so it's not like I added anything you didn't have. (And internally, upkeep jobs have among the highest job priorities in the game aside from survival stuff.)

So this is weird: The conditions to fulfill the jobs exist, and with a little prodding they will be carried out. But ... they're sometimes not?

Thank you for the save game, will log it alongside maddened notes. Not sure how to answer this issue yet. Logged as OC-5421.

 

@Unforked So uh. It turns out the overseer who kept trying to claim the upkeep job(s) was stuck in a building with no doors. So I guess that locked the job from anyone else AND ensured it couldn't be fulfilled.
Wow, yeah.
