DATE	PATCH	PATCH NOTES
January 24, 2020	Patch 2.2.2! Chinese New Year!	New content: – Chinese New Year is here! To celebrate, new decorations are now available in the Furnish Mode in Sandbox. Discover traditional Chinese lanterns and use them to make your inn even more unique! Balance changes and fixes: – Political Rumours (Blue) can now be used to purchase influence on the World Map to the maximum level. This will make trade routes easier to complete. However, the cost of purchase steps above 3 has been increased. – Rebalanced “Partner up with the Seers” quest. Nobles reputation is now easier to obtain, the required reputation was changed from 75% to 50%, and an additional quest (related to Rumours) has been added as an option of progressing. Please note that saved games with this quest already active will not be affected. – New workers will now have a higher chance of starting with positive Traits. – The Loyalty attribute of workers will now deteriorate at a lower rate, which will result in them spending less time on breaks, and more on working. – “Cleanness” bar of a room will no longer be affected by the quality of furniture. – The floors will now become dirty at a lower rate, requiring cleaning less often. – Ganis and Calistere quests in Act 2 will now always trigger correctly. Stability improvements: – Fixed a crash that could occasionally occur during NPC interaction with a Gambling Table. – General stability improvements.
January 28, 2020	Pests & Puppies DLC	New pets: dogs cats. New pests: Boar, Liquorats, Birds, Daer, Fleas, Woodworms. New items for pets. Added French language
February 4, 2020	Patch 2.3.1! Skip Prologue!	New Features – Added Skip Prologue checkbox to Options. It allows skipping the Prologue part of the Campaign and starting directly from Act 1 instead. UI – Clicking specific parts of the Main Menu will no longer open a Steam Subscriber Agreement. – Prepared food and drinks will no longer be stuck in the Counter after loading a save. Please note that this can still lead to graphical glitches on old saves – the items will appear to be inside a Counter, while in reality they’re not. If that occurs, saving a game and loading it again will fix the display. – Stealing now has a correct graphical indicator when it doesn’t work; and when it does work, loot is correctly received. – You can no longer send more than one Adventurer on a single mission; this will also resolve an issue with the Adventurers not coming back to the Tavern after a quest. – Services tab (on the Room Info screen) now works correctly, and the services can be selected or deselected by double clicking with Left Mouse Button. – Added a new Trash bin icon to every piece of Furniture that can store items, like Counter or Shelves. By using this icon, selected item will be deleted. – Removed the prompt about not having enough places to sit, as we found it was confusing and largely pointless. – Information about active DLC will now be added to the Main Menu. AI – [Act 2] Fixed an issue that could prevent interacting with the Countess while she’s sleeping. – LOCK priority setting on the Counter will now prevent the workers from using it. Miscellanious – Serious Landscaping Sandbox quest now requires 15 objects to complete, down from 25. – Nudists will no longer randomly visit your Tavern… for now! – Rumours and Fame will no longer transfer between new games. – Bug Repellents will now be refilled with Herbs. – Dog bowls will now correctly be refilled with Chicken meat. – Reduced the probability of Boars appearing and wreaking havoc.
February 20, 2020	Patch 2.4.1! Rebalance of the social groups!	New Features: – We have rebalanced social groups and their preferences, as follows: Townsfolk – they hate foreign country decor, but love their own country decor, for all rooms. Nobles – they don’t trust low prices, but they don’t mind high prices. Travelers – they want to rent Guest Rooms more often. They will be very disappointed if the tavern does not have a Guest Room. Outlaws – they don’t care if the tavern is clean or not, they just want low prices and drinks. This social group is the most likely to steal, smoke pipes and cause fights. Distressed – they don’t feel good in fancy rooms. Following these guidelines should help with quests that require a certain amount of influence for a faction. – You can now permit or disable access to rooms for each worker separately on the Room Info screen. This only works for tasks: don’t be surprised if your servant enters a room to chat or get some Gossips! UI: – Outline option will no longer reset after loading a save. – Cost reduction upgrades will now correctly display the current price. – Interaction with destroyed objects will no longer be disabled after loading a game. They can now be repaired or sold without issues. AI: – Made adjustments to Shifts; workers will now follow them correctly. – Workers now require less space to perform their cleaning duties in a small room; however, note that it is still possible to make the room too small and cramped for cleaning. – Updates to Dogs AI – they will now scare off pests more efficiently. Miscellanious: – Greatly reduced the amount of Fame needed before guests start using Guest Rooms. – Fixed an issue that could block Adventurer’s quests if the game is saved and loaded during the Adventurer’s transition to the Map. – Goods will now be placed correctly on Pallete’s current position, instead of its previous location. – “Rug” item will now correctly display its texture. – A perk responsible for reducing Gossip cost of Trade Routes will now work correctly. – A perk responsible for unlocking more land will now work correctly. – Fixed some stability issues thanks to crashing saved games provided by the community.
March 4, 2020	Update 2.4.3! Spanish translation!	– Added Spanish language. Rest assured that all of the other languages that we promised are on their way too, just not yet ready! – Updated Adventurers to make sure that their missions are worth your time
March 26, 2020	Patch 2.4.4! RUSSIAN LANGUAGE!	New Features: – Added Russian language. Please make sure to let us know if you encounter any text issues! – Updated tenants. A “tenant” is a guest who is renting one of your Private Rooms. You can now train their attributes, and decide which of them should be their priority. You also need some specific equipment for training: – for Strength, Endurance and Dexterity – Training Dummy – Charisma – conversing with other guests (Vedetas can also improve it by using their special piece of furniture, a table with a mirror) – Intelligence – a Bookshelf, or any other piece of furniture that has books on it When an attribute improves, an icon will be displayed on top of your tenant. Note that if the tenant is unhappy and his basic needs are constantly being ignored, his attributes will be lowered! – Added key combination CTRL+F2, which – when used in Main Menu – will launch the Editor. We have also removed an .exe file with the Editor as we found that some players have hardware issues preventing it from working. With this key combination, there should be no more issues. – Having more than 50% influence with a faction, while having all of them unlocked, will cause the NPCs belonging to the former one to appear in your inn as potential tenants. – Added 2 new Vedetas, Ranen from Velendis, Sambria and Kairn from Salebritte, Yorevale UI: – The game will no longer occasionally prevent progress after hiring a Kitchenhand in the Tutorial. – You can now only select Repair command on objects that actually require repairs. – Deleting Stairs will now refund money. – Made it easier to place down portraits in Act 3; using CTRL should no longer be required. – A profesion of every potential tenant (adventuer, vedeta etc.) is now displayed on their info screen. – Recipes now correctly display which furniture is needed for cooking. – The game now treats Vedeta beds as normal beds, but only for Private rooms. – Tier 2 Servants are no longer bald. – Supply carts on the map now use a different icon than other, random carts. – Minor fixes to gui and icons. Miscellanious: – Cleanniness of the room is now affected by the amount of clean and dirty furniture in that room. – Changed how room Quality is calculated – cleanniness, furniture and size matter equally. – Made changes to positive and negative traits of many pieces of Furniture. – Slightly nerfed Trovin’s taxes in Act 3. – Guests infected with parasites can now bring them to your tavern and infect your furniture. Make sure to contain them before they spread! Please note that this requires Pests & Puppies DLC to trigger. – Repair animation now correctly uses a hammer. – Fixed a misleading typo on crafting buttons; it is now clear when you turn it On and Off. – Fixed an issue that prevented Sambrit from dropping its price after one of the quests. – Most Fireplaces can now be used as Grills.
