Steam Latest Branch Updated to develop 2818

http://stonehearth.net/steam-latest-branch-updated-to-develop-2818/

Once again, we’ve updated Stonehearth Alpha 14 on our Steam latest (unstable) branch.

As always, we welcome your bug reports and comments!
Here’s what’s new and notable in this release:

##Hats and Helms!
Moar Monsters? Moar Armor! This release finally implements a new schema for hair that allows for hats and helmets. Some classes come with hats by default, and others can get helmets from advanced crafting recipes. For modders, this release also includes a new way to define the colors of things from json palettes, allowing more variation in hearthling hair colors, skin tones and more. As a side effect of this update, hearthlings imported from older saves may now look different than they used to; think of it as Xtereme Makeover, Stonehearth Edition.

  • Lots more hair color variations and permutations for hearthlings
  • Revised stockpile categories

  • Fixed counts in placement UI to update properly when placing items
  • You should get a notification the first time you engage with enemies from an encounter
  • Rotten food is now a separate thing, so you can delete it. All rotten baskets of food will become a generic rotten basket of mush
  • Crafting buttons are now fully clickable
  • Properly line up carpenter workbenches
  • Put items on table at correct offset

  • If an animal is spawned by a shepherd and not claimed for the pasture, it will disappear in a day
    ##Performance and optimization enhancements:

Time flies when hats are being amazing. We may have only seen them again for the past few streams but for me they’ve built up so much anticipation already!
