A newer beta is different from the main branch
The developer also publishes separately labelled beta hotfixes. This master distinguishes main-branch Update 8 findings from beta-only reports; a higher beta number is not proof the same changes are already on the main branch. [2]
An artisan has no selected Active Recipes
Update 8 replaces the single Production Focus with prioritised Active Recipes. Artisans start with no Active Recipes until you set them, so an idle newly configured artisan is not automatically a broken production chain. [1]
Documented steps
- Set the artisan’s Active Recipes and their production priority before expecting output. [1]
Pasture animals die without winter Animal Feed
Cows, calves, sheep and lambs now consume Animal Feed monthly in winter and can die without it. This is an introduced seasonal requirement, not a patch note claiming that livestock deaths have been fixed. [1]
Marketplace fails to stock enough for full supply
The main-branch update fixes the Marketplace sometimes failing to stock correctly for full supply. This recorded logistics fix is separate from a settlement that lacks the needed goods. [1]
Goods remain reserved after the last worker leaves
The update fixes leftover stock remaining permanently reserved after the last assigned worker family leaves. Those goods should instead be treated as surplus under the corrected logic. [1]
Oxen try to plough endlessly in winter
The main-branch notes fix oxen endlessly attempting to plough in winter when they had not finished in time. Include that season and unfinished-work trigger in a continuing report. [1]
