Change Log For Version 0.5b


General Changes:
Rate of mining has been increased slightly.
Notification window sizing is now being saved & loaded.
The “Return to Campfire” mechanic has been removed.
New lighting structure – Campfire.
The Pause Menu Key now also closes the pause menu, and resumes the game.
Unit Frame images have finally been added to the selected unit interface, a health bar is also shown.
Several new GUI tiles for hand-tools have been added.
There is now a line-of-sight check for spotting enemies. This should make spider holes much more dangerous.
The Chop Designation now works across multiple Z-levels, reducing the need to spam up and down while selecting trees.
You can now track resources in the main GUI. Press the “Track” button in the Resources menu to keep an eye on your numbers. By right clicking in the tracking box, you can remove these.
Music should be getting played more often.
Some new sound stings have been added, these are very short and should play more often than music to fill the gaps in-between.
The 2D map has been made the default when starting a new settlement.
Builders and miners can now fall off ladders and take damage. This is very rare however, and is based on the height of the ladder and the unit’s level.
Enemy corpses are no longer automatically removed from the game. They must be right clicked on, and set to remove corpse, or gather it’s resources. If selected to gather resources, a forager should come over and attempt to salvage any of the enemy unit’s resources.
You can now choose the starting location for your initial settlers and the starting campfire.
Worker unit types are now much more likely to fight back or flee from enemy attackers, especially while they are working.

New Resources & Gatherables:
Spider Silk, for creating an additional recipe for rope. Obtained by foraging from slain spiders.
Animal Hide, no current uses. Obtained by foraging from slain wolves. Animal fat & hair can also be gathered from wolves.
Stone arrows can now be gathered from goblin archers.

New Designation – Roads:
Roads are useful when your settlement has become complex to the point where unit pathing has become a problem.
Units tend to want to walk along road designations more than out in the open.
When a road designation is placed onto grass, it will slowly turn to a dirt path when units walk upon it.
Roads will soon become much more important, and necessary for migrants, traders and other visitors, and keeping your roads guarded is going to be crucial.
Roads are meant to be quite picky about their placement, and unable to be resized in depth. Keeping them at a 1-3 block width is also recommended to help pathfinding.
The designation is placed much like Farming designations, in patches. And they can be removed the same as farming zones as well, via a right click menu.

Updates to the Crafting Menu:
Removed are the large resource type buttons, which have been replaced by tabs. More options are now available to add several iterations of a single resource to the queue at once. And duplicate sequential resources in the queue are now being grouped together to reduce clutter (stacking)
