The first August patch has arrvied! Unstable 2 wraps up some loose ends with Unstable 1, fixes a few bugs, adds a ton of names you guys provided to the names database and adds a new persistent resource selection system. Now, when you select resources they'll remain selected even after they've been exhausted, so when they regrow the villagers will go back and reharvest them!

The stable release is just around the corner, so be sure to bug-test the hell out of this one. :)

You can report bugs over at the official website's Support and Bugs Forum, or on the Steam Discussion Board. :)
