Greetings beloved builders,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you\u2019ve been enjoying the user interface update<\/a> we pushed last June. We know you\u2019re eager for even more Foundation content, which is why today should be of particular interest to you as we officially launch the 1.8 Fall Update to shake things up! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Buildings For All! <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most widely requested features for Foundation is the addition of new buildings for your settlements. You\u2019ll be glad to know that the team has been hard at work to introduce not one, but two fresh production buildings for the game: the candle workshop<\/strong> and the common wares workshop<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharp-eyed players will also notice \u201cCitizen\u201d promoted villagers now have a second \u201cGoods\u201d need under their status. In addition to common clothes, they will now require common wares to be 100% satisfied. Talk about being entitled!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction Step Bundles for Added Immersion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While looking at ways to improve Foundation, it became apparent that the construction process for buildings needed work. We\u2019ve asked ourselves how we could create a more logical and immersive experience. Before 1.8, builders would try to complete their tasks and stop if resources were insufficient. Now, they have to gather the required materials to the construction site beforehand. Only then will they be able to start working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To go into more details, materials will be brought following the bundles\u2019 order, to complete them as fast as possible. If a bundle is missing a material that is not in inventory, then the transporter will start to bring the resources for the other bundles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction steps allow more flexibility for your city planning with the added benefit to be more in line with what you\u2019d expect from working on buildings. You can start with the foundation of, say, a church, and come back to it later in order to complete work on the next step. This way, you\u2019re never stuck in a rut! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ins and Outs of Stockpiling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One feature we recognized as in need of improved communication relates to stockpiling<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature allows you to prevent villagers from using resources by toggling the stockpiling function on or off in the resource panel. Or, alternatively, directly in the resource list of the Book. Very helpful when looking to complete delivery missions! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 1.8, we have improved this communication with a warning when there are missing resources in a workplace due to stockpiling. Additionally, the stockpile icon now shows over resource icons in other panels and windows such as workplace inventories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even more QOL changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each new update is a chance for us to optimize the overall gameplay experience and refresh our existing systems. The 1.8 update is no exception. Here\u2019s a preview of what\u2019s in store for you the next time you launch Foundation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
