Oh from @sdee on the dev blog:

Just discovered an infinite loop bug on promoting a footman. So… please don’t do that till we fix it.

So we might want to wait until it’s fixed

Just finished downloading it - I also notice it’s release 120, so it’ll be interesting to see what’s changed since r118 (@sdee? Anyone?)…

I still got the problem that goblin armier appear and kill my villagers. Removing their stockpiles is still possible, but that won’t stop the goblins from ganging up and killing my villagers one by one.

I snatched it from the Dev Blog… :smile:

here’s a quick rundown of my findings in Alpha 4:

1) villager names run off the promotion list

1920Ă—1080 192 KB

reproduce:

  1. at the onset, select a tool to promote a villager
  2. notice the list of names extends to the Approve button, and past the containing box
  3. the highlighted name at the bottom, does produce a background however

2) villagers not respecting stockpile sacredness

1920Ă—1080 248 KB

reproduce:

  1. build several stockpiles
  2. stock said stockpiles … with stock
  3. work your minions to the bone till they hunger
  4. watch as they sit willy-nilly among the stockpiles!

3) I believe this error was on accepting a new villager

1920Ă—1080 245 KB

reproduce:

  1. watch for notification that a new villager wishes to join your settlement
  2. accept them with open arms / voxels
  3. get the error prompt?

4) pressing the right arrow key in the journal produces this error

1920Ă—1080 236 KB

reproduce:

  1. be curious about your villagers well being
  2. open the Town Overview, and select the Happiness tab
  3. click the right arrow button
  4. get the error prompt

5) notifications remain, no matter how many times you view, “x” the announcement

1920Ă—1080 166 KB

reproduce:

  1. (in this case) receive a notification that a new villager has joined your settlement
  2. click the yellow exclamation mark
  3. read the notification, and wonder if the unit will pull his own weight
  4. notice that the notification insists on staying all up in your face, no matter how many times you click the “x”
  5. keep clicking the “x”, in the hopes that the notification will take a hint, and go away… its late
  1. fairly complex design … worked perfectly! :smile: :+1:
