1.0.4_RC1_nopdb (2024-09-30)

Patch Notes:

Gameplay & Balance - Prologue

Negative Squalor events will now trigger at a higher Squalor threshold

Fixed issue where Squalor would cause much more Wear to districts than intended

Food Hub Workforce cost decreased from 100 to 50

Food Hub Prefabs cost decreased from 80 to 40

Increased Prefabs deposit size on Citizen difficulty

Reduced Cold growth by 20% on Citizen difficulty level

Reduced Cold growth by 10% for Officer, Steward and Captain difficulty levels

Cold events will now cause fewer deaths

Changes to the Prologue aim to soften a few unnecessary bumps that increase difficulty in unwanted places, reinforcing the role of Prologue as a small-scale introduction to the challenges of the full complexity of the game.

Interface

Added 'Load Chapter Start' button on the Chapter screen in Story mode to make it easier to replay specific chapters

Improved exposition of Utopia Builder in the Main Menu

For those of you who thought that the Campaign / Story Mode is everything Frostpunk 2 has to offer - we improved visibility of the Utopia Mode which is our frost covered answer to endless mode.

Other

Fixed macOS audio crashes due to incorrect HP filter behaviour on time dilation actions

Fixed rare crashes on changing any game setting

Audio optimizations

Minor UI optimizations

Localization fixes

Fixed some Outposts having Settlement pins on cartography view

Fixed Disconnect Twitch button from not being visible on some occasions

We're happy to let you know that we've resolved a critical issue affecting Apple Silicon - MacOS devices users. The audio-related crashes have been fixed, which should now allow players to run the game smoothly on these computers. This fix was also possible thanks to you who provided additional information about the issue.

We're pleased to introduce these improvements, including Prologue balance adjustments and reduced Cold-related deaths, making the early game more manageable while maintaining the Frostpunk 2 level of challenge, and adding the ability to load specific chapters if your Steward career ends prematurely.

As always, we're committed to continually improving our game. We're closely listening to your feedback and adding further enhancements, including performance optimisations and more quality-of-life features. Thank you for your ongoing support and patience. Together, we are building a better future for New London!
