My Colony v3.5.0 Released
My Colony has just been updated to v3.5.0, which should be hitting all platforms right now. Wondering what's new? Read on to find out!
First from a non-user facing side, a lot of old/unused legacy code has been cleaned up in this release. Not really important to know, but I am putting it here for completeness.
I have cleaned up several resource accounting issues that were related to rounding errors.
This update also fixes a bug related to placing templates that contained Water as a construction cost.
There was also a bug where the Hall of Congress building could not be built anymore, if a colony already had a Capitol building (as the Hall of Congress was being classified as a capitol itself).
Another bug has been fixed where the building repair policies (both manual and auto) would not work properly if a colony had districts set up.
I also fixed a bug related to using the bulldozer tool in template builder mode, whereby it would sometimes actually bulldoze parts of your colony!
Another bug was fixed related to harvesters that also had an assigned parking space. They could continually return to their parking spots in between harvest collection and dropoff. That should no longer be the case.
I have also fixed an issue related to the multi-selection mode, whereby units in the right half of the selection box would not be selected (this is because the math was not accounting for isometric mode projection within the selection area).
I have also made some tweaks to the pathfinding algorithm so that the pathfinding weight of road tiles is more properly assigned, which should help with the routes that rovers prefer to take.
Finally, the Bulldozer tool has been upgraded. Now, if you right-click (or long press on mobile) on the Bulldozer tool, you will get a new context menu with different bulldozer tool sizes.
This upgrade allows you to clear areas a little faster than you could before!
That is all for this release. Thank you for all the suggestions and bug reports! Keep them coming in the Discord channel, enjoy the update, and stay tuned for more My Colony to come!
