Patch Notes — Version 0.8.083–0.8.086 (Beta)
Minor Changes
General
Made it possible to select buildings that have ended up inside the Manor area (temporary change until town walls are ready - it's still not intended to place normal town buildings inside the castle area and castles are still intended to get more of their own modules later in development).
Further changes to unit collision: Because treating handcarts and characters separately caused extremely rare but fatal cases of workers getting stuck, we reworked all characters to use capsules that combine their collision into one.
Small improvements on collision avoidance around carts so that characters bump into them less often.
Unemployed husbands can help fetch fuel or water.
Workers harvesting vegetables will now walk back to the shed to drop off the produce.
Employed sons skip fetching fuel or water if there is an available woman in the same household.
Cosmetics
Reworked models for food resources being transported.
Items from the Construction category, as well as Leather, Hides, Shoes, Charcoal, and Clothes have had locations adjusted so they sit more naturally in a handcart.
Added more construction resources assets to Houses and Church
