v0.2.3

0.2.3 | 3 September 2026

Trees, flowers, mushrooms and ore now say which kind they are and whether you are allowed to work
them yet; a blocked build spot says what is in the way and how to clear it; auto-walk has been tuned
again to keep you out of walls; and another batch of objects that were read out as raw code have
proper names.

• Thirty-one more things say what they are. Anything the game has no word for was read out as
  the internal code it is filed under — buildings, props, the smashed things,
  and a few people the game never named. Where it numbers a family you get one name rather than a
  numbered parade: all six piles of broken glass are "Pile of broken glass".

• Trees, mushrooms and ore now say which kind they are — and whether you are allowed to work them
  yet. The game gives its scenery no names, so the mod named whole families at once and all
  twenty-nine kinds of tree were "Tree". That hid the distinction that decides everything: the game
  sorts resources into groups and opens them one technology at a time, and until you own the right
  one it refuses the swing — saying so with a padlock drawn onto the work prompt, a picture, which
  never reached the speech. Every node now carries its group's name — Small tree and Big
  tree, Edible mushroom and Red mushroom, Iron ore and Iron vein — and anything
  you cannot work yet says what it is waiting for: "Big tree, needs the Woodcutter technology". It
  asks the game's own unlock check, so it stops saying that the moment you buy the technology.

• The nine flowers are three different alchemy ingredients, and every one of them was "Flower".
  They belong to no group, but what a flower gives tells it apart, so each is now named after its
  bloom: Yellow flower, White flower and Red flower. An apple tree in blossom is still
  an apple tree; this only applies where the family name was the vague one.

• A build spot with no room now says what is in the way, how to get rid of it, and where it is.
  Pressing Space used to end with a name and nothing else — "Blocked by tree" — which leaves you no
  way to tell thirty seconds of work from a dead end. Every blocker now comes with what to do about
  it ("chop down with the axe", "demolish at the build desk"), or which technology the work is
  waiting on; a tree that leaves a stump says so, since the stump blocks the build just as the tree
  did. Clearable spots say where they then open up — "Clear the sawhorse and it fits 2 up, 3
  right" — with a second option when a different set of things would also do, and then everything
  else in the build area that could go, counted and located, because the readout used to name one
  sawhorse while a few bushes two tiles away were the real obstacle. The line for a spot that cannot
  be cleared at all was English-only, and is now translated.

• Auto-walk has been adjusted again to keep you out of walls. It watches whether a walk is
  carrying you into something solid and puts you back on the path when it is. This round taught it
  the difference between clipping the edge of something as you pass and genuinely being pulled
  through a building, so it holds on where it should — and it no longer gives up on a journey
  because you grazed a heap of coal in the smithy yard.

• A few more characters the game keeps off-stage have stopped turning up in your lists. The last
  batch covered the row of spots it parks its cast on; this one covers another spot that is not
  named like the others, so it had to be recognised by the shape of the crowd standing on it.
