Lemme go refresh my memory as to what has occurred this month... all of the art except a few buildings and seven creatures are in, so much good stuff... all the audio is in, including a new 7(!) minute title track... a special alert pops up for the most important messages to make them harder to miss, including a new "no food" warning... mouse wheel now works on all scroll bars... got music and ambiences to stream off the disk (the amount of audio has grown so amazing that it was taking up more than a gig in memory ha ha, now it's much smaller)... reworked the tutorial a few times... the dwarven underwear situation vs. sieges and goblin thong rot has stabilized... split up the volume sliders... fixed some bits where tiles tore through the interface... site finder can now search for sand and specific metals... jeweler jobs are no longer weird - there are generic jobs and you can specify materials in the details... multiple leather items tanned based on skin size... rearranged the buttons on the main screen... made subtabs look different... bin storage jobs no longer stop other jobs from using the bin and they don't try to haul items to bins that aren't in the right stockpile. I might have also mentioned at some point that mouse wheel zooming was out, but now it's back, using ctrl+mouse wheel or the brackets or two buttons near the minimap.

  • The Helper The Helper:
    We have been getting crazy numbers reported by the forum of people online the bots are going crazy on us I think it is AI training bots going at it at least that is what it looks like to me.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Most legit traffic is tracked on multiple Analytics and we have Cloud Flare setup to block a ton of stuff but still there is large amount of bots that seem to escape detection and show up in the user list of the forum. I have been watching this bullshit for a year and still cannot figure it out it is drving me crazy lol.
