[ACE] Pre-Release 0.9.6

I haven’t even gotten to the candle dark mobs. It’s just the run of the mill goblins. Just curious. Still love the game and have just over 1000 hours into it. It just feels different. Like the mobs are on steroids or something. Anyway, looking forward to dwarves too. Keep up the awesome work.

Updated the latest patch notes with a new sneaky update!

@DaniAngione

Sneaky Update 0.9.6.18c

• (Candledark) Fixed the missing feet on some Vampire Thrall costumes.
• (Candledark) Fix to Charmed Brooms being invulnerable to damage but still attracting the enemy’s attention. They should no longer attract them (but remain invulnerable).
• The CPU/Processing bar has been significantly improved and it will now display a real-time, short graph of the processing power usage, giving you a more advanced tool to better observe the behavior and performance of your game, hopefully assisting you in finding a sweeter spot. It also has some new features like filtering the data shown (by clicking the different categories);
• Improved the way recipes with broken ingredients (or ingredients with incorrect catalog data) is handled; They should no longer trigger an error although they will still show up on the game’s log.
• Fix for Hunting merchants that were bringing fish sometimes.
• We’ve fixed an issue that prevented animals from being able to eat from raw fish meat or kibble when these objects were on the ground and not in a container.
• HAPPY CANDLEDARK!

Candledark is now over

@DaniAngione

Sneaky Update 0.9.6.18d

• (Candledark) Candledark has now been disabled! Remember that if you have already started the event you may continue normally. Additionally, we have a mod on Steam Workshop that allows you to play Candledark whenever you want! You can find it here: Steam Workshop::[ACE Mod] Candledark
• (Candledark) The “Bitten” wound that turns a hearthling into a Vampire Thrall lasts a bit longer now (more than a day), giving the player a slightly larger window to save their citizen!
• (Candledark) Enemies can now drop “Bog Butter”, which means they can now drop all three ingredients for the medicine that treats vampire bites. Additionally, these ingredients have an increased chance to drop.
• You can now toggle certain objects that require manual lighting (firepits, fireplaces…) to not be lit automatically. This includes the Candledark Spirit Bonfires, so you may pause the quest at will now! Please note that some objects will not allow toggling, like the town’s Hearth.
• Fixed the completely underwhelming price on the “Hunk o’ Hard Coal Pile”.
• Fixed an issue that prevented the tooltips from certain weathers from being shown, like the “Titanstorm” or the “Under Siege” weathers.

Hello I have a problem with my game, when I’ve been playing for a while the villagers stop doing their jobs of collecting items and that kind of thing, only a few do it the rest are left unoccupied. What can it be?

Due to poor optimization in the game, there are indeed many performance issues. If you are sure you have enough available storage space (empty chests or storage areas), you can only resolve the issue of villagers not working or ceasing to collect items by restarting the game or reloading the save file.
Make sure to maintain some storage redundancy during gameplay, try to use chests to store items, and control the village population and overall inventory. Of course, upgrading your hardware is also a solution.
