Clan of the Hounds in Ranked | Patch notes for 06/06/2024

v3.5.6.38277

Hounds Balancing

A lot of small tweaks and rebalancing of the clans as we’re making it available for ranked games. The idea behind those changes is not only to nerf the strongest elements, but also to rebalance some elements that feel underutilized compared to other elements. For example we’re making Foxskin less strong, in order to make the Wolfskin more interesting, and we’re decreasing the heal of Bloodthirst, while making the speed of heal faster, and making the heal ability of the Boarskin stronger in exchange, to incentivize using it to compensate.

With this patch release, the clan is now available in ranked multiplayer.

Star-with

• Berserkers now have a max amount of resources they can collect at once when absorbing a soul (80 max).

Knowledge

Bloodthirst

• When gaining Military XP, regain 4̶0̶%̶ of it as heath > 30%
• At a speed of 0̶.̶5̶ ̶H̶P̶ ̶p̶e̶r̶ ̶s̶e̶c̶o̶n̶d̶ > 1 HP per second

Units

Foxskin

• Attack Power 1̶4̶ > 12.5
• Shredding Claws (Lvl 2 ability)
      ○ Each attack slows the target by -̶1̶0̶%̶ > -7.5%
      ○ To a maximum of -̶5̶0̶%̶ > -20%

• Hunter’s Mark (Lvl 3 ability)
      ○ Mark reduce target speed by -̶2̶5̶%̶ > -15%
      ○ Increase the damages they receive by +̶5̶0̶%̶ > +35%

Bearskin

• Blade Breaker (Lvl 2 ability)
      ○ Reduce target’s attack power by~~ -35%~~ > -25%
      ○ With Hord Instinct - each additional bearskin reduce it by -̶1̶0̶%̶ > -2.5%

• Death Deceiver (Lvl 3 ability)
      ○ Make the first unit in the zone to die invincible for 6̶ ̶s̶e̶c̶o̶n̶d̶s̶ > 3 seconds

Boarskin

• Mender’s Legacy (Lvl 2 ability)
      ○ While regaining health, heals wounded units by 1̶ ̶H̶P̶ ̶p̶e̶r̶ ̶s̶e̶c̶o̶n̶d̶ > 1.5 HP per second

• Blood Sacrifice (Lvl 3 ability)

• Boarskin sacrifices 7̶5̶%̶ of its health > 60%
      ○ Over 5̶ ̶s̶e̶c̶o̶n̶d̶s̶ > 4 seconds
      ○ And converts 1̶0̶0̶%̶ of it to wounded units > 200%

Fame 500

• Berserkers can level up to level 7, each additional level requires 2̶0̶0̶ ̶X̶P̶ > 250 XP

Conquest Battles

Following some feedback we’ve received about the second conquest battle of the clan being too challenging in comparison to the others, we’re swapping it for another one.

• Hounds clan battle n°2 is now No Gods No Master. (Previously The Great Hunt)
• The clan can now play the Age of Vampires battle.
      ○ The clan can only evolve 1 berserker, which is considered the Warchief of the clan, and has the nightwalker ability.

QOL

• Bloodthirst visual signal (on health bars) has been reworked to be more clear, and cause less confusion. (with some players thinking it would work as a shield and prevent taking damage for exemple)
• It is now possible to remove an animal soul from the arena having to avoid players getting stuck in some cases and having to destroy the building.

Other

Gate of Helheim

We’re adding a new rule to the Gate of Helheim zone, to address the issues of some clans benefiting too heavily from the Valkyrie spawn instead of being challenged by it.

• Killing the Fallen Valkyries on the gate of Helheim and later summoned by the gate (when colonized) no longer give Military XP nor trigger any “on kill” effects. (Hounds Bloodthirst, Eagle Boneyard, Wolf Spoils of War, Lynx Trophies, and so on…)

Lore Victory

• Direct gains of Lore accumulate Lore/ Faith for the Monument and the Victory. (Ruins, Ox Warcraft, Lion start-with, Hounds boarskin soul absorption, Eagle caches, and so on…)

Bugfix

• Hounds - Fixed color displayed for the conquest Town Hall
• Hounds - Fixed animal souls from the last conquest bonus consuming wood
• Hounds - Fixed control group not working on Berserkers after evolving from their Brawler form

Known Issues

• Some text issues

• Fixed an issue that caused ships to be invisible in some planetary storms.
• Fixed a minor issue related to planetary tornadoes.

0.8.2: The Chef OUT NOW!

Hey Drifters,
Continuing on the food improvements, we bring you: The Chef.
To better manage food in the endgame, you can now prioritize what your drifters eat. This is similar as to prioritizing their duties. Additionally, every drifter now has a favorite food that gives them a big morale boost when they eat it!

We've added three new crops; Potatoes, Tomatoes and Wheat. The food pipeline has been rebalanced, with new dishes for the Food Truck and a new building: the "Fancy Restaurant" :) A place where you can create culinary food and even add your own decorations on top.

Bon appetit!

What's next?

For now, crops like corn and potatoes can be found on supermarket landmarks. Instead of this we're planning to add new landmarks to the rural region for these crops. We originally planned for an additional region, but found it too similar to the rural one.

These will come with a much-needed update to the localization, Some languages have been lagging behind, and they'll now receive a welcome refresh. However, certain parts, such as the Survival Guide, may still be untranslated as we're planning to expand the tutorial and information sections of the game shortly after. So localization will be updated in chunks over the month of June :)

Early Access 0.8.2: The Chef

This patch introduces the Chef, a fancy restaurant, favorite and culinary food!

The Chef

• Added culinary food, a step above yummy food. Drifters eating this high-end food will gain a highly positive morale modifier.
• Drifters now have a favorite food. Drifters that eat their favorite food will gain a highly positive morale modifier.
• Added the Drifter Food Priorities Panel, where you can set priorities on what drifters eat.
• New construction: Fancy Restaurant. A place where you can create culinary food, as well as place decorations on top.
• New construction: Fryer. You can fry potatoes and fish here, used as ingredients for some yummy and culinary food.
• New specialist: The Chef. The Chef currently has +10 to cooking, the requirement to unlock the Fancy Restaurant.
• New Crops: Potato, Tomato, Wheat.
• Iterated upon current food pipeline to integrate the culinary foods and new ingredients.
• Temporarily added the new crop items to supermarket landmarks.
• Added new decorations: Pic-Nic Table, Restaurant Table.

Fixes

• Fixed issue where loading old saves sometimes lead to landmarks being unusable.
• Fixed issue on the map, where salvage icons would be created for finished duties.
• Fixed issue with OFF icons not always showing above buildings that were turned off.
• Fixed issue when starting a new game, the inventory top-bar would show empty icons from the previous game.
• Fixed issue where a dead drifter could cause the town movement to mismatch between the map and default view.
• Fixed issue where border decorations could not be placed after a decoration was placed.
• Fixed issue where placement of decorations could break on constructions with non-matching width and height deco slots.
• Fixed issue where drifters in portraits could sometimes get stuck in T-pose or paused animation.
• Fixed issue where volume setting was not loaded until Game Options panel was opened.
• Fixed issue where deconstructing a field where a drifter was headed to harvest would bug out the drifter.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the last update and specifically the new mode. We were surprised to see your necromancy and strategy skills turn out to be so high! We always listen to our players, so we have completely rebalanced the Chaos mode and increased the size of the disc in this version of the game. Additionally, we have fixed several other issues.

List of changes:

- Fixed an issue with boss waves on all discs.
- Fixed an issue with obtaining the achievement 'Martial Feats of Comanche Horsemanship'.
- Fixed an issue with text sometimes not displaying in tooltips.
- Fixed an issue with the Korean font.
- Fixed other minor issues.

Update 1.84-1 Patch Notes

• Added a new style of melee attack for all the ghouls: the Rush Attack. Makes them a little more dangerous now. Watch out.

• Added two new option settings: camera draw distance, and frame rate cap

• Fixed a bug with scrap cloth spawning too many in loot crates

• Fixed a bug with player falling through terrain when cancelling travel at the exit towards the old mill

Wigmund - Patch 1.4.5 [June 8, 2024]

We have improved and fixed the following:

① Misc:
• Decreased the dodge/roll chance for some enemies
• Fixed a bug in which a teleport from the bear cavern would cause the game progress to freeze
• Fixed a bug in which the game's FOV was resetting to the default on each load
• Fixed a bug in which the equipment tooltip would not appear when using a controller

We present you a new Item: The Spyglass. After acquiring the magnifying glass, the spyglass can be used to see the resources not only on the minimap, but also on the world map. It can be crafted using the existing magnifying glass and a few more ingredients.

Thank you for your feedback and patience!


Wigmund - Patch 1.4.4 [March 9, 2024]

In this patch we have improved and fixed the following:

① Misc:
• Increased the size of flying enemies for better hit response
• Decreased medicine level required to pick Licorice and Meadowsweet
• Craft up to 5 recipes at a time
• Improved tooltip item comparison
• Fixed an input action queue issue

Action queue disable: We have found a certain issue related to the action queue, that is, if two actions like a roll and a stab are executed almost simultaneously, the roll is being executed and the stab will be automatically executed after the roll. A new option called 'Disabled Input Action Queue' was added, that disables the input action queue. If the queue is disabled an action executed during a roll will NOT be executed at the end of the roll.

Future plans: For this year we still have two patches planned. Make sure to stay tuned!

Thank you for your feedback and patience!


Wigmund - Patch 1.4.2 Portable Stash & Fixes [November 21, 2023]

In this patch we have improved and fixed the following:

① Misc:

We have also introduced a new item - here is the Infinite Stash! Set up a stash anywhere on the map where you might require a quick inventory reorganization. The stash can be obtained from certain chests and can be created with a Crafting level of 15.

Thank you for your feedback and patience!

• Fixed a scripting issue with Artyom so that he won't accept serum until it's time to.

• Fix a bug where the Sidekicks mod was causing conflicts with the Dyson Sphere in the base game
---• Thanks to GreatYng for reporting

---• Thanks to The Grand Mugwump for reporting
⯈ Dyson Sidekick
• Saves will be broken in the next patch for the Dyson Sidekick
• Added the DE Zenith Blacksmith, which combines engineering support with combat. Applies acid to enemies making them take extra damage from all sources
---• This replaces the DE Zenith's engineer
• Replaced the DE Zenith Cestus with the Demolitionist. This cloaked, frigate specializes in destroying structures by firing in bursts and recloaking between salvos
• Replaced the DE Zenith Sentinel with the Salvager
---• These small Zenith vessels are used in large numbers to collect usable metal for Zenith projects and efficiently convert hostile strikecraft into salvage.
• Replaced the DE Zenith Defender with the Melter
---• Light Frigate cap (10). Corrosive, anti-guardian. Explodes on death inflicting significant corrosive damage
• DE Harpy Vault cap increased from 1 to 2
• Added some fusion damage to the DE Neinzul Harpy
• Doubled the base damage of the DE Neinzul Cockatrice
• Replaced the DE Spire Overtone and Lightbringer with the Spire Mini Ram and Spire Ram, respectively
---• These are based on Classic's spirecraft. Melee ships that explode on contact. They deal extra damage to energy-intensive units but can't hit smaller targets.
• Replaced the DE Bloom with the DE Spire Armor Rotter
---• Inspired by classic's version. Shots do fairly little damage, but eat away at the armor of ships they hit with each shot with corrosive acid.
• Replaced the DE Dyson Illum with the Spire Blade spawner. Basically a much better version of the human type
• Added the DE Spire Translocator. Excellent all around ship, with knockback for smaller ships and a resonance beam for larger ships
---• Also inspired by Classic
⯈ Dark Zenith Sidekick
• The DZ Sidekick only ever gets one flagship at the start of the game (even in Full Invasion mode)
---• This will force the player to capture more planets
---• To compensate, they get a few more ships at Full Invasion time
• Fix a bug where the "Hack Spawner for DZ Resources" hack was not appearing
• Killing some ships and structures grants DZ Resources (Octiron, Skrith, etc) to a nearby flagship.
---• These resources can be deposited at Epistyles to boost your economy
---• This gives the player more ability to direct their economy, instead of just "letting it happen"
---• This feature complements the Nadir Spawners in giving the DZ some targets/objectives
• When spawning in Full Invasion mode, try harder to spawn near a player
---• Otherwise the DZ Sidekick usually would spawn surrounded by Mark IV or higher planets, which often meant they would just sit there for 10-20 minutes until the other players could rescue them. This was not very fun.
