Changelog

0.2.5

• Much less stutter around your village. Villagers remember their routes to chests, crops and trees instead of working them out again and again, and the mod no longer pauses the game to save every second.
• The notice board and family menus no longer hitch while open.
• Villagers keep living while you're away. They forage, eat, scout a spot for a home and build it with real materials, plus an altar and notice board for their village.
• Villagers can make their own offerings to invite new residents, and may go on to found their own village.
• Residents keep their careers after saving and loading.
• Better daily routines. Villagers head for a warm bed before late chores, keep nearby fires lit and find their way to beds and fires more reliably.
• Villagers stuck in place move to nearby safe ground. They can reach storage up to 3 metres away.
• Companions remember expeditions with you and build trust over time.
• New option: Diagnostics > LogPerformance logs slow moments. Turn it on if you report lag.

Still single player. Village life while you're away is new and needs playtesting, so back up your saves.

0.2.4

• Workers bring back a load instead of making a trip for every stone. They'll still return with a small load if there's nothing else to collect.
• Added hunting requests for boar and deer. Hunters bring back meat, hides and any trophies they find.
• The notice board puts local requests first, with search, categories and pages to keep things tidy.
• Open a request to read the details, then go back without losing your place. You can leave an unfinished request and resume it later.
• Keyboard and controller navigation is smoother, with scrolling for long posts.
• Dynasty pieces now have suitable build-menu icons instead of showing a wood pile.
• Villagers who can't afford missing tools or armour can ask for help at the board without offering payment.

Still single player. Farming uses planting requests for now. Choosing Farmer alone won't keep a field harvested and replanted. The new hauling and hunting changes need more playtesting.

0.2.3

• Cleaner changelog. No gameplay changes.

0.2.2

• Workers no longer use firewood, food or supplies set aside for a job.
• Residents now keep every kind of fire fed.

• The family panel follows Valheim's UI scale setting.
• Families with a child under 3 wait until the child can walk before moving out.
• Workers get their earned wages even without an active job.
• Less stutter from saving while villagers work far away.
• Villagers mining far away find the right rock, even with loose stone nearby.

0.2.1

• Villagers who leave to start their own village now finish their house and move in.
• Builders carry a full stack of wood before heading back, instead of one log at a time.
• Builders no longer freeze in place while gathering.
• Builders pick up loose stone instead of waiting for a pickaxe they can never get.
• New villages find a building spot much faster.
