We've just made all the new content publicly available! Update your game to access it right now! https://youtu.be/wCtP_ajFwvA We strongly recommend you to start a new world. The new ores are fundamental to your colony and do not spawn in old worlds. The new guard system is incompatible with the old quivers. Monsters might not spawn, permanently enabling siege mode. Because the new world is a lot higher, water might flood your old world. You can always restore the game to the 0.3.0 version and continue playing in your old worlds. The update adds a lot of new content, changes things and fixes issues. Here's a short summary:

• New ores and metals like copper, tin, bronze, steel, galena and saltpeter
• A new mining system: ores are spread over multiple layers, and you can dig into the side of mountains to find them
• New weapons: slings, crossbows and matchlock guns
• New jobs like the metalsmith, the woodsplitter, the gunsmith and the kiln operator
• New items like copper nails, bronze plates, iron blocks and charcoal
• Science has become fundamental for the development of your colony, even for small colonies
• New Science Bags
• Four different guards, and both a day and a night version of them (they actually have to sleep now!)
• Three different monster types (100, 300 and 500HP) that spawn in three different speeds, increasing in difficulty as your colony grows
• New achievements!
• It's now possible to punch monsters
• It's now possible to punch and shoot colonists
• Fixed a pretty big bug in the pathfinding code, and optimized it as well
• Moved nearly all gamedata files to the server, giving modders more options and letting people join modded servers without first installing mods
• Optimized torch rendering
• Fixed some savegame problems

For a full list, see the in-game changelog! We are 100% sure that bugs have slipped into this update. Please notify us when you encounter them! We've tested the balance of the new items, weapons and monsters as much as we can but we like to hear your input. It's very easy to adjust things like crafting recipes, weapon damage, monster HP, reload speed, etcetera. When you've played the update, please share your thoughts about things that seem too hard or too easy! You're all welcome on Discord! Have fun and Happy Halloween!
