Settings Overhaul

The settings panel got a complete rewrite. It’s now organized into 5 tabs — Save Data, Display, Audio, Gameplay, and Keybindings — so you can find what you need fast.

Remappable Keybindings

All 22 keyboard shortcuts can now be rebound from the Keybindings tab. The system includes:

  • Click any key button to start listening, then press your new key
  • Conflict detection — if the key is already bound, you’ll see a Swap/Cancel prompt
  • Per-key reset or Reset All to restore defaults
  • Bindings persist across sessions

New Settings

  • Auto-save interval — choose between 15s, 30s, 1 min, 2 min, or 5 min
  • Save slot renaming — click ”…” next to any save slot on the main menu to give it a custom name
  • 3-click delete safety — deleting a save now requires 3 deliberate clicks instead of YES/NO, with a 3-second timeout reset

New Content

Dragon Raids

A new deep cavern event where dragons attack your mine. Raid intensity scales with depth — dig deeper at your own risk.

Trade Nations Expansion

  • Infinite tier leveling for trade nations with scaling costs and bonuses
  • Trade caravans — send timed missions for depth-scaled rewards
  • Mercenary contracts — hire temporary bonus workers
  • Embargo protection — reduce cave-in and troll raid damage

Visual Upgrades

  • Unique ore veins at every depth (1-20) with procedural sub-vein detail layers
  • New title screen with background art and logo
  • Official library logo replaces the text title in the HUD
  • Artifact & Gem overlay panels — full-screen overlays consistent with other panels
  • Font size pass for improved readability across all panels

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed pickaxe showing only one head during dwarf return walk
  • Fixed troll and dragon raid event bugs
  • Fixed embassy NPC display issues
  • Fixed mithril depth cost scaling
  • Removed stale automation options (buy toggle, auto-runestone)

Localization

  • Traditional Chinese (zh_TW) added as 9th in-game language
  • Updated Latin American flags and improved US flag icon
  • 43 new translation keys for the settings overhaul
