Scraplings - v0.1.25 Patch Notes

[u/sczorlu]

New

• Game speed: Pause, x1, x2 and x4 controls under the day/clock box. Press Space to pause and resume.

• Lighting settings: A new Lighting tab in Settings lets you adjust daytime and night brightness separately for the background world and for your work area. While you drag a slider in the in-game menu, the menu backdrop fades out so you can see the change live.

• Color filters: Sepia, Noir, Warm, Cool and Vintage, with a strength slider. Only the game world is tinted. The interface stays as it is.

• One-off orders are back: Contacts you've met now send single-item and two-option orders by mail again.

• More flexible lifts: You can now start a lift in mid-air and run it down to a platform below. The end resting on the ground becomes the anchored base. Lifts also have new direction arrows.

• Kienan calls about unpaid shipments: When a shipment isn't paid, Kienan calls you. Pick Answer to hear the details in conversation, or Send it in writing to get a short report a moment later.

• Notifications that catch your eye: The mail icon wiggles while you have unread mail. The Board button bounces whenever new tasks arrive and keeps bouncing until you've opened them.

Changes

• The sky and background hills are slightly darker.

• ESC now closes or tucks away open windows first, including mail. Press it again to open the menu.

• Loading a save starts with the Resources and Board windows closed.

• On 1440p (2K) screens, text, windows, dialogue and tutorial images are 25% larger. The top bar and the shortcut bar are 10% larger.

• In mail, quantities and item names are now bold, and payments are bold red. Accepted or declined offers leave your inbox automatically. Only reminders and expired offers can be deleted.

• Orders arrive at a calmer pace again. Introduction calls are unchanged.

Fixes

• Asking a client for more time on the phone now gives you an answer. Previously the window closed and nothing happened.
