Version 0.42.0

Compatibility changes

Update the modpack before joiningThis release requires a newer modpack. Update your installed pack in the launcher before joining again.

  • Update the pack: this version will not let an older client in.
  • Four new contract terms: Escort, Feud, Crew articles and Public subscription.
  • Expeditions into the Dark Zone get route sheets, calls for rescue, cairns and charts of marks.
  • The Dark Zone's air now ebbs and floods on a public timetable, and herds cross the layers with predators behind them.
  • A long list of crashes, lost coin, lag and server stalls is fixed.
All changes in this version

Contracts

  • Escort: a fee that is paid only if a delivery in the same contract is met.
  • Feud: until a date, a killing between the fighters of two sides writes no blood debt and no mark, only the score. Press Join feud to fight for your side.
  • Crew articles: until a date, the earnings you choose are split equally between every party. Freight fees, catches, outpost sales, garrison fees or one good's sales can be chosen.
  • Public subscription: anybody can back the work a contract promises; if it is kept, the builder is paid, otherwise every backer gets their coin back.
  • Goal of the week: the server can set a shared target, and the milestone goes to everyone who helped reach it.

Expeditions

  • A route sheet says where you are going in the Dark Zone and when you will be back. If you are late, the people you name are reminded once.
  • A call for rescue holds coin for whoever reaches you; only those who answer see your area.
  • A cairn says one word — water, shelter, danger, path or ford — and puts it on the map of everyone who passes.
  • A chart of marks copies the marks on your map onto paper, and whoever reads it gets them too.

The Dark Zone

  • Each layer's air ebbs and floods on a timetable anybody can read with /polis_atmos weather; over a whole tide it is no worse than before.
  • Herds cross the layers on a weekly timetable, and their predators follow; a beast you tame, lead, ride or name becomes yours to keep.
  • A running air scrubber is heard by the night: packs that come near a busy base are larger.
  • A route lamp burns naphtha from a pipe and eases the dark on nerve along a road.
  • A reaper is issued the reaper's uniform when they take a seat.

Fixes

  • A commissioned named blade no longer doubles its ingredients.
  • Opening the Polis window right after joining no longer crashes the game.
  • Disbanding a group no longer loses its deposits, orders, consignments or bounties.
  • A window left open no longer counts as somebody playing.
  • A Soul Star used in the Safe Zone no longer stalls the server.
  • Several memory leaks and chunk loads that caused lag are gone, and a number of mods are updated.
