Patron Update 9

Hello everyone.

Update 9 is here. We're pacing along as noted before: some fixes, some additions, some modding stuff.

• Exposed some Social issues parameters into the Data\DefaultConfig\Gameplay.cfg, specifically regarding Education, Religion, Immigration

• Tweaked handling of some social issues, especially in the later stages of the game. A single luxury is no longer enough to satisfy your citizens' needs. They want more diversity.

• All buildings that provide bonus on Happiness affect it at a reduced rate.

• All combo-bonuses that provide Happiness affect it at a reduced rate.

• Exposed crop seed research (unlocks) and added it into the research database tables

• Research database table (the details part) is now moddable. Any research detail block added into a mod, will be added to the default research (if new) or will override existing research (if it has the same keyname)

• Fixed a couple of errors with Brick mansions that manifested after loading a save game that has existing Brick mansions

• Fixed a couple of errors that could cause happiness (in any housing) to go below 0

• Navmesh generation optimized. Approx. 50% less links are generated. This unfortunately will NOT affect existing saves, but any further changes on the navigation mesh will be affected by this improvement.

• Death by plague (event) is now properly counted as death by disease

• Social issues stats on housing no longer takes children into account

• Fixed an issue with the Call of the clergy event where the wrong stats were hinted

• Added the option to activate the Map editor. Improvements and fixes will be made, but this is the beginning and basically a beta. Once this option is enabled, when you restart the game, you can activate the editor by pressing F4.

We've uploaded a quick tutorial-like video on YouTube for those of you interested in checking out the map editing possibilities.

That's it for today. We hope you like it. Govern on!
