Scalable quests and events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Ever wished quest and event rewards would adjust according to your progression? With Update 1.9.5, we\u2019re introducing scaling<\/strong> to Foundation: a new way to keep things engaging from the very beginnings of your village to the realization of a fully-fledged medieval wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how it works: requirements and rewards associated with events or quests will now increase based on different progression tiers. For instance, a quest asking you to deliver wood would have a low resource objective early on and scale later\u2014in tune with your Prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, tier 0 (floor) is available from the start, whilst the last tier is activated upon achieving a specific Prosperity threshold. The low, standard and high rewards are linked to negotiation opportunities with traders in this specific example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Events now have snooze delays<\/strong> when a player dismisses them. Such delays are added on top of their recurrence factor, which have also been slightly reduced. You can expect snoozed events to add between 50-100% more days before they pop up again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Update 1.9.5 also includes a new pause function for Hospitiums. When paused, such locations won\u2019t welcome new guests anymore. Think of it as an added safety valve to better control your food supply as visitors tend to be quite hungry. You can resume Hospitium functionality\u2014thus further guest waves\u2014at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the three functions that have just been discussed, we took this opportunity to include our newest improvement with the transport algorithm. You may have noticed that previously, transporters would reserve specific amounts of resources before reaching their destination. The problem, however, was how this reserved quantity never adjusted to take into account fluctuations in availability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From now on, transporters are able to dynamically adjust how many resources they carry before reaching their destination, all synced with workplaces. You will notice an immediate effect on productivity as transport becomes even more responsive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our artists added villager portraits for every available job in the game. Before, villagers could have a mismatched portrait as we randomly picked one from the handful available. This will no longer be the case and should benefit the game\u2019s coherence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We hope you enjoy these new features as we continue to work on the next milestones from our roadmap. You\u2019re always welcome to share feedback here or on our official Discord server<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Update<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Improvements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hello everyone and welcome to Update 1.9.5!
