Happy Halloween! Version 17.10.31

We just uploaded version 17.10.31 to Steam. This version features a bunch of bug fixes and some new spooky content.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed crash caused by missing enemy sensor in serialized file.

• Fixed OutOfMemoryException when loading/saving larger maps.

• Fixed crash caused by typing cyrillic/greek/etc. into text boxes.

• Fixed crash caused by pushing delete on an empty text box.

• Fixed bug causing trade envoys not to show up after they'd only showed up once.

• Fixed auto-farming.

• Forced dwarves to move to unoccupied space before sitting in chairs rather than teleporting through walls.

• Dwarves now prefer to mine from highest to lowest block.

• Fixed major pathfinding bug that was causing dwarves to freeze and the game to slow down in longer games. Now, when dwarves can't find a path, they randomly explore for a while before trying to plan again. Earlier, they would sit still forever and starve to death.

• Fixed issue that caused trade envoy money to dwindle to $0

• Made right clicking and dragging select all voxels in the bounding box rather than just the visible voxels.

• Traders now tell the player why a trade was rejected and can be offended up to 3 times before leaving.

• When the player has no dwarfs, it is now possible to trade. Ideally in the future we will make the player lose once all dwarves are dead for a certain amount of time.

• Fix loading of bushes/cacti/wheat so they dont end up underground.

• Ensure 10.31 saves compatible with 10.22 saves

• Fix issues caused by streams not being correctly closed that was causing saving to fail after an autosave.

• Fix drawing of water clip plane.

• Improve texture filtering of faraway sprites.

• Fix some issues with the money input field on the trade screen.

• Snakes now drop meat and bones for all their segments.

• Dwarves now stick to ladders while climbing them.

• Fixed plath following issue which caused dwarves to end up inside walls sometimes.

• Added an outer message box to warn the user when a crash has happened rather than just crashing without a message (should help diagnose "game won't start" bugs)

• The save location can now be configured in the options screen.

New features

• New biome: haunted forest. Spawns wherever there are undead occupying forest or desert.

• New plants: haunted tree and pumpkin.

• New animal: necrosnake.
