0.7.999 - Beta patch

Patch notes for Version 0.7.999 (Beta)

Gameplay & balance

• 1 Malt now makes 2 Ale

Minor changes

• Changed ox plowing directions to be even more historically accurate (from center, outside)
• [Experimental] The game hides the demolish button on the very last Hitching Post in the region in order to protect new players from game overing themselves by deleting the last hitching post and making the ox run away. I made the stables follow the same rules, so that if you have 10 stables and 1 hitching post, you may delete the hitching post, but if you have 1 stable, you can no longer delete it.
• Adjusted the description of the "Better deals" perk

Optimization

• [Experimental] Dynamic foliage LODs: Tree detail will now vary on the camera angle additionally to being dependent on the distance to the camera

Crashfixes

• Fixed the game crashing when Baron clears a bandit camp
• Fixed the crash when booting the game while volumetric clouds setting is off in the ini file (Beta branch)

Bugfixes

• Fixed Herders not collecting Wool from Sheep if the sheep move after the task is created and not move again due to the camera being far
• Fixed: Barter traders leave imported non-food goods in market stalls
• Fixed the "don't allow to delete last hitching post" safety check not working on stables or if you have multiple building tabs open at the same time
• Fixed: Reserve set in the Tavern for Ale distribution is not being respected
• Removed the extra 2 days between December and January which resulted from the day of the year counter starting at 0
• Fixed: Military equipment crafted by Artisans is not being transported to the Storehouse if the corresponding Workshop's Storage is full
• Fixed oxen not reaccommodating to another hitching post or stable if their current "home" hitching post gets demolished
• Fixed grass not disappearing after deleting and rebuilding a vegetable garden

Cosmetics

• The irregularity of the vegetable field shape now scales with their size. This way they are no longer too wobbly as they get very large.

Thanks for playing,
