{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44225911/4af831f058082ac15ae6f6218879d367912652e3.png Fixed aludel recipe in RITES book to be correct number of stone (Now says 2 stone instead of 3 stone) Added a new visual card indicator in the bottom left hand corner to show people cards that are "Passive". Passive cards do not need to be a part of a recipe in order to work. Eg: traps periodically will pop out a caught animal carcass, Goats will periodically pop out a milk, etc. Added a note about TRAP card being passive in the RITES bookRead full article on Community Announcements (de_husk)Patch NotesOfficial
v1.0.16 Hotfix Patch Notes
Fixed a softlock on the deck selection screen after the winter level. If you ended the winter level with at least one curse card and no surplus of supply. Then you would always get soft locked, because the game was counting the curse cards as a card you could select. But the code was correctly not displaying them.Read full article on Community Announcements (de_husk)Patch NotesOfficial

Demo build v0.10 Patch Notes
New year, new WAGON update! Improvements Let players move the recipe book Altar booster packs now have their names on the covers so that people know what they are choosing at the start of each game 'Barn' card has been renamed to 'Shed' since people thought the Barn was the Pen. The old Barn image is now the Farm card image since the old Farm card was not unique enough Show the reason recipes can't craft in recipe progress bar ('frozen', 'broken', etc) Add initial credits screen Fix sounds overlapping and clipping by setting sound concurrency limits on sounds that will play simultaneously When popping cards off stacks, prefer eligible containers to eligible stacks When popping cards off stacks, prefer the CLOSEST eligible container / stack to merge Cleanup some models / textures Lighting pass in stick drawing section + main menu Auto close recipe book when the camera moves away from cardgame view Recipe book is now only clickable from the cardgame view Actually implement a real global barn / wagon supply cap Foodbox 'meals stashed' recipe book hud was confusing and I replaced it with a simple 'STARVING'/'FULL' message Default the time lever out of cardgame setting to paused, instead of play Bugs Fix bug where a resolution much larger than the max monitor resolution was being initially set when using multiple monitors Now if a save file contains a resolution unsupported by this monitor, it resets it to the largest currently supported resolution Fix card popping race condition where cards will move to the same spot and clip Fix issue where sometimes cards will not merge into an eligible stack Fix issue where stack will bug out if you move a stack that has a card in transit Fix bug where sometimes during feeding, the original stacks where the food cards popped off of would move after the food cards were eaten Fix bug where you can break a stick in the intro cutscene after someone draws a stick Center more HUD items Fix issue where equipped cards will clip with the left...Read full article on Community Announcements (de_husk)
