Patch v0.1.5: Automation Profiles, Expedition Danger & Linux Fix

โ›๏ธ Patch v0.1.5: Automation, Expedition Danger & More

โœจ New Features

  • ๐Ÿ“– Guided Tutorial: New 8-step interactive walkthrough that guides new players through their first mine tap, hiring workers, upgrading, and building rooms
  • ๐Ÿ”“ Feature Unlock Popups: When you unlock a new system (expeditions, runestones, artifacts, trade, gems, beasts, etc.), a full-screen popup explains what it is and how to use it
  • ๐Ÿ“š Knowledge Base / Encyclopedia: A new in-game reference with 16 categories covering every system. Entries unlock as you discover new features. Access it from Settings
  • ๐Ÿ”€ Automation Purchase Priority: Drag your auto-purchases into the order YOU want. Arrows let you reorder pickaxe, worker, and upgrade buys so the most important one fires first
  • ๐Ÿ’พ Automation Profiles: Save up to 5 named automation setups and swap between them instantly. Perfect for switching between early-game grinding and late-game optimization
  • ๐Ÿ’€ Expedition Worker Death: Expeditions are no longer risk-free! Workers on Standard+ tiers now face death rolls. Higher tier = higher danger. At least 1 dwarf always makes it home. Deaths reduce future hire costs and are tracked in your lifetime stats
  • ๐ŸŽฎ Discord & Website on Main Menu: Jump straight to the community from the title screen

โš–๏ธ Balance

  • ๐Ÿ’Ž Artifact costs ~3x increase: Artifacts persist through ascension, so their prices now match their permanent power (e.g., Foremanโ€™s Signet: 1,800 โ†’ 5,000 mithril)
  • ๐Ÿ”ฎ Rune shards capped at 1 per expedition: No more stacking rune shards from lucky rolls or event bonuses. Hard cap of 1 per expedition across all tiers
  • ๐Ÿ”ง Worker assignment default priority bumped from 3 โ†’ 5

๐ŸŽจ UI / QoL

  • ๐Ÿ“‹ Notification Log Categories: The game log now has filter tabs: All, Combat, Expedition, Crafting, Progression, Events, and Production. Find what youโ€™re looking for without scrolling through everything
  • โš ๏ธ Runestone Remove Confirmation: Clicking an equipped runestone now asks for confirmation before removing it. No more accidental unequips
  • โœจ Quest Claim Pulse: Completed quests now pulse to grab your attention when theyโ€™re ready to claim
  • ๐ŸŒ Quest Descriptions Localized: Quest text now properly translates to all supported languages

๐Ÿ› Bug Fixes

  • ๐Ÿ”ฎ Rune shard expedition fix: Rune shards are skill tree points, not a room resource. No longer incorrectly filtered by room gating
  • ๐Ÿ”’ Locked resource filtering: Expeditions no longer sneak you mithril, shadowsteel, or trade points before youโ€™ve built their rooms

๐Ÿง Linux / Compatibility

  • ๐Ÿ”ค Bundled Noto Sans + Symbols2 font: Full Unicode coverage so Linux/Proton players see proper music controls (โฎ โญ โ–ถ โ– ), settings gear (โš™), and UI arrows instead of garbled squares
