Most likely Alpha 5 I believe. Alpha 4 will most likely be the construction improvements.
I’ve noticed that they’ve had bits of combat already in the game already since pretty much the beginning. Though the engine is probably missing, they seem to have a few actions, dispatchers and animations done. Possibly remnants of the prototype?
sooooo, wait a tic… you mean you guys don’t have access to the s00per s3kret build with advanced construction options, and a working combat system?
WITCH!
Burn him at the stake!!!
How large can the population of a settlement get? Will there be control scaling? i.e. from a single carpenter to a master carpenter who orders other carpenters to do things.
i dont believe we’ve had word on population caps, but i seem to recall a “soft number” of around 50 units as the sweet spot…
Indeed, it was something in the region between 50 - 150, depending on balancing and how it feels with the different population. Though I’m sure it’s something that will be easily alterable should you desire.
I remember them saying somwhere that they wanted it to be big enough for a large settelment but stil small enough so you got the small “personal” feel with the people
Hey its me again, with more questions ahah sorry. AH will we be able to cancel or break down buildings we planed or put up?. sometimes my mouse gets a little clicky at the wrong time and I end up with random walls and houses. Also seeing the post Tom put up the other day about different shaped house and using different materials to build them with, DO you think that the mason profession will follow after the alpha 4? I think I remember him saying that you will need the mansion to turn the little rocks into building materials, so if we wanted to build a castle ish building we would need him?
thanks for you’re time 
perusing an older thread, we have this lovely quote, from the lovely and talented @voxel_pirate… 
when will this game be out on steam 
like I can buy it on steam ??? pls anwcer thanks for ur time
Well right now you can only buy it from stonehearth.net but I’m sure that around the first full release they will make a store page on steam in which you can buy it from! But, if you buy it on stonehearth.net you get it as a humblebundle game which you can just link with your account to be able to play on steam
not just yet… but as @LlywMiner mentioned, this will likely be an option around the time of the public release… slated for September of this year…
here’s a direct link to the store, if you are interested…
oh, and welcome aboard! 
well glad to be on aboard btw are u a dev if so then the first time I saw ur game on youtube I fell in love its like cubeworld with a sandbox feel to it

I call understatement. How many times have you gotten out for the past year?
Geoffers tells me that you haven’t seen the sun… for quite a while.
It seems that Rainbows are already Implemented.
I got this from /r/Stonehearth.
I doubt that he even knows what the Sun is.
Hey quick question.
Can animal pelts be used for anything?
Also is it possible to craft the “comfy” bed? (okay 2 questions)
.
I thought animal pelts were “cloth” resources, but when I tried to craft a cloth bed my carpenter just went idle. And then I encountered the bug that when you remove something from the carpenter’s craft queue, and he put a log on the bench, the log stays there and he can no longer work. 
(This has been reported, right?)
What is Animal Pelts and Animal Food Items suppose to do in the Alpha?
My villagers eat the jerky (the meat from rabbits, foxes, and raccoons) but the pelts seem useless in Alpha 3.
