InDev 30 Unstable 5 has been released, this patch is a feature complete build of what will practically be InDev 30 stable, due out on April 22nd. This patch is fairly small, mostly tying up loose ends and fixing last minute bugs, as well as throwing in additional balance tweaks and adjustments. This patch is also still compatible with both Unstable 4 and 4b saves!

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

InDev 30 Unstable 5 Change Log

Corruption System

• Increased the range of all corruption towers.
  
• Increased the amount and rate of monsters that spawn from the graveyards when attacked.
  
• Monsters that are spawned from attacking graveyards will now auto-attack the attacker.
  
• Monsters will no longer spawn from graveyards when damaged by any other means that are not from towers or mobs. (eg; Disasters)
  

• Reworked how the interface autoscaling works to get slightly better results.
  
• Added elderly lists to the population panel.
  
• Updated many of the tips.
  
• Pregnant villagers now use clinics to give birth, removing the chance of death and losing lifetime expectancy.
  
• Average age and life expectancy added to population list GUI.
  

• Fixed an endless loop bug because of range generation errors on low-desirability buildings.
  
• Fixed day length setting in custom mode.
  
• Fixed radiance pool essence coming from the wrong tile.
  
• Fixed radiance pool firing the "Energy" tip.
  

• Villagers all have been given an additional 10 years of life.
  
• Doggos have been given an additional 5 years of life.
  
• Rebalanced/Nerfed the rate constitution drops.
  
• Halved the chance villagers can die from child birth.
  
• Now mothers have a 50% chance of losing 1 day of life expectancy during child birth, rather than a guaranteed chance of losing 1 or 2.
  

• Fixed world map edge scrolling settings.
  
• Fixed a minor range generation issue that could result in some AI getting stuck in an endless loop trying to deliver something.
  

• Human villagers can now live up to a maximum 30 days, catjeet 25, and doggos 15.
  
• Villagers can now become wise elders late in their life, for humans this is age 25 and catjeet 20. Doggos never become wise, and will remain young hearted goofballs until they die.
  
• Elder villagers can chat with lower level villagers, offering them a massive XP bonus so they can level up faster.
  
• A new Life Expectancy statistic has been added, and as you'd expect, how long your villager should live.
  
• A new Lifetime Constitution stat has also been added, that starts at maximum, and anytime your villager's well being is poor either from thirst, hunger, unhappiness, healing from injuries, taking damage, poisoned and a million other factors, their lifetime constitution will go down permanently. When this happens, it can lower their Life Expectancy.
  
• You can never recover constitution or life expectancy, so take care of your villagers!
  
• Villagers can die before they become elders if they live an extremely hard life, and their life expectancy drops below the minimum age to become an elder.
  
• Rarely, when nomads spawn some of them can arrive already as elders.
  
• Mothers can now die giving childbirth if their lifelong constitution is low.
  
• There is a small chance the child can die during child birth.
  
• Mothers now take 25% of their total current hit points in damage during child birth.
  
• Giving birth instantly lowers the mother's life expectancy by 1 or 2 days.
  

• Added a new "corruption resistance" range for the village, that works differently than normal range and ignores all blocked tiles. Some buildings do not provide this range at all, like fire pits, making them useless to push back the corruption.
  
• You can see your village's corruption resistance using the data views panel.
  
• Global monster spawn rates have been reduced by about 33%.
  
• Corruption no longer creates new spots on the map.
  
• When monsters despawn, they drop all their equipped items on the ground so the next spawn cycle of monsters can pick them back up.
  
• Skeletons now do not start spawning until day 5.
  
• Specters now do not start spawning until day 12.
  
• Fire Elementals now do not start spawning until day 16.
  
• Small slimes now no longer spawn until day 2.
  
• Regular slimes now no longer spawn until day 4.
  
• Zombies now no longer spawn until day 3.
  

• Patreon credits/names data updated.
  
• Medics have been completely rewritten, they now "post" themselves at clinics, barracks and outposts and wait for injured and sick villagers to arrive.
  
• Rebalanced the length of nighttime in both Summer and Winter. Summer nights are now longer, and Winter nights are now shorter.
  
• The mob level hard cap has been raised to 200.
  
• There are now a small amount of particles that generate when a mob gains XP.
  
• When a mob gains a level, there is no longer a message in the console, and the sound is localized to where they leveled instead of being global.
  
• There are now some particle effects when a mob levels.
  
• Raised the doggo spawn rates back to what they were in Unstable 2.
  
• Rearranged the farming AI to make it a much higher priority to do farm harvesting and tending tasks.
  
• Slightly increased farm growth rate.
  
• All villagers, catjeet and doggos stats have been halved. (Roughly back to what they are in InDev 29f)
  
• Carry max now goes up by one per every 50 STR rather than 100.
  
• The base village range of all towers provide has been increased by about 50%. (Note: This is not firing range)
  
• Removed the single-threaded settings from the game, as they caused more trouble than they helped in almost all scenarios.
  
• Reduced the speed health is regenerated when in a house.
  
• Tripled the duration of poison, blight and dysentery, but also reduced damage taken by them by two thirds, resulting in the same amount of damage over a much longer period of time.
  

• Reworked all the code related to coloring mob sprites in game, cleaning up a lot of minor issues with recoloring mobs.
  
• Permanent corruption increase per day settings are now properly saved in custom mode.
  
• Fixed a bug that can cause the game to enter an endless loop if a monster despawns while being attacked.
  
• Fixed the statistics panel from rendering incorrectly with interface scale settings other than 1.
  

• Decreased traditional mode spawn and corruption spread rates.
  
• Increased spawn rate of monsters in survival and nightmare mode.
  
• The amount per spawn multiplier has been decreased, coupled with the above change, this should show a more steady and consistent increase in spawn rates.
  
• Increased the amount of "starting spread" corruption has, making the initial starting corruption spot a bit bigger.
  
• Monsters now spawn when graveyards are damaged, except from hail.
  
• Corrupted fire pits are now built less often, causing other corruption buildings to be built more often.
  
• Made some minor tweaks to how corruption picks a start spot, encouraging them to spawn farther away from the village that previously.
  

• Now you can interact with the speed controls, settings, save and exit or look at stats while paused.
  
• Charm spell cost has been halved, and the failure chance removed.
  
• Reworked some AI branching that made some AI branches not fire as often as they should, like water bottle refining.

• Due to overwhelming negative feedback, the game no longer will randomly corrupt your save files the longer you survive in an attempt to increase difficulty.
  
• The entire spawn system has been completely replaced with the new corruption system. Now, a corrupted area will spawn on the map once you place your camp, slowly consuming the world around you.
  
• A new mob has been added, the "Drone". Drones are mostly harmless, but will build corrupted buildings and maintain roads inside the corruption.
  
• Monsters no longer spawn or attack during the day time. They now start attacking at dusk, ramp up at night, and return back to the corruption during the day.

• You can not cast spells inside the corruption.
