Hi everyone! Multiplayer is off to a great start in Sapiens, its amazing seeing the impressive builds and screenshots being posted around the community, and I really appreciate all of the feedback, reviews and kind words of support. This update focuses on improvements for when you are working together, with a new Share Storage setting which allows you to share the same settings and send/receive orders. It also makes it easier to see when you have restrictions on your storage areas and sleds, and fixes the issue causing many mods to fail to work. From here, Ill be releasing on the unstable branch for a while, as Im working on larger features including new content like canoes and fishing. Ive also been working on a feature packed new roadmap, so that will be out soon! -Dave New in 0.5.0.78:
- Better support for storage/resource sharing in multiplayer, making it easier to work together. The tribe relationship settings "Take Items" and "Store Items" have been replaced with a single "Share Storage" setting. When two player tribes both have this set, all their storage area restrictions, special orders, and send/receive orders will be shared between both tribes.
- Storage area pegs are now colored yellow for "remove all" orders, and white sides and/or top to represent take/store permissions.
- Sleds now have rails which also display this information, and tool racks and shelves display it too.
- Fixes bug where the enabled mods list was not saved correctly, resulting in modded worlds failing to load
- The light effect for other players in multiplayer now moves smoothly
- Adds "logChat" config.lua option to log all chat messages server-side

In Sapiens you create your own prehistoric civilization. Lead your tribe from the ground, immersed in the world while you shape it. Build towns and industry with complete freedom and control, from placing the tiniest pebble to constructing monumental structures. Start with nothing and advance through thousands of years of technological breakthroughs in this intimate yet expansive colony sim.
Choose Your Home
Pick from thousands of procedurally generated lands across a map larger than Earth itself. Choose wisely, as each area has different climates, resources, and challenges. Finding the right place to begin your home is key to growing your civilisation.
Lead Your People
Walk the paths beside your people as you lead them through this uncharted world. Instruct individual sapiens to focus on specific tasks, such as planting crops, gathering materials, building, hunting, cooking, and more. Watch as they learn new skills, making them more valuable to your tribe. Manage their moods, health, and support their growing families.
Find Resources
Find new resources and send your sapiens to investigate, leading to new breakthroughs which unlock new things to build and craft. Start with primitive materials and work your way up to using more advanced tools and techniques.
Build A Civilization
Build shelters, both to keep your sapiens happy and to preserve food and resources. Every wall, roof, seat or fireplace can be placed individually. Each tree, log, plank or rock can be removed or situated, and the terrain can be dug, mined or filled to shape the world the way you want.
Expand Your Reach
Send sapiens over long distances and establish camps to gather far away resources. Create transportation networks to bring those resources back to your base for processing or storage. Send a group to explore over great distances, or conduct a hunting mission. Take down a mammoth to feed and clothe your tribe for months, but know that you may lose some sapiens trying.
Sapiens features extensive mod support through Steam Workshop.
