Revision as of 05:12, 25 November 2020
| Previous Version: Version/0.8.657 Released on: 16 December 2014 |
Next Version: Version/0.10.785 Released on: 23 April 2015 |
Released on: 19 February 2015
This version was released on: February 18, 2015
Alpha 9 is out! This time we’ve added alcohol, drunkenness, binges, hangovers, multiple sculpture types with generated art based on historical events, personal shields for melee fighters, and dozens of smaller improvements. A full change list is at the end of this post.
If you own the game, you can get Alpha 9 by re-downloading from the link you used before (it is a permanent link and always has the newest version). You should also get an update email from us. Anyone still having trouble should start at this thread.
Also note that this build will not load old savegames or old worlds, so please don’t try to load these in the new version. They’ll probably just crash the game.
4:21 EST: I fixed a bug with forbidding and sculptures just two hours after initial release and hotfixed the build to Alpha9b. If you already got it, please re-download. Alpha 9 saves won’t be affected.

Alpha 9C & Alpha 9D
I’ve just updated the game to Alpha9c. (UPDATE: Now Alpha9d is up.)
Please delete your old installed game, download the new build from your existing download link, and install it to a clean empty folder.
All save games from Alpha 9 will still be playable and mod compatibility shouldn’t be affected.

- Fixed a black-screen-on-startup bug when playing with certain translations.
- Fixed a bug that caused savegames to become unloadable.
- Fixed a bug that caused binging people to never eat or sleep, leading to death.
- Balance: Heaters and coolers are somewhat more powerful to match new heat loss mechanics.
- Balance: Wind turbines are now much more powerful.
- Balance: Adjusted frequency of tales so your statues aren’t all of people hunting and vomiting.
- Updated translation content.
Alpha 9D Changes
- Fixed probability calculations so the game won’t constantly spam insane animals any more.
- Fixed an issue that prevented Graphic_Collections loading mod content.
- Raiders will no longer eat from players’ nutrient paste dispensers.
Alpha 9E
I’ve released a hotfix to Alpha 9, Alpha9e, that rebalances a few things and fixes a few issues. This is build 0.9.727.
You won’t receive an email for this hotfix as we don’t want to spam people. The download link is the same one you got all other versions of the game from. Your personal download link never changes and always gives the latest version.
You can update by deleting your old installed game, downloading the new build from your existing download link, and installing it to a clean empty folder.
If you need help with your download please email [email protected].
All save games from Alpha 9 will still be playable and mod compatibility shouldn’t be affected.
Changes
- Reduced room temperature equalization rates.
- Room walls that are two or more cells thick now equalize temperature slower.
- Balanced sieges to be slightly weaker.
- Various tuning adjustments to several thought mood effects.
- Removed “buildings need power” alert as it is annoying to see it when a power switch is off.
- Fixed a bug that corrupts savegames if you sell a statue that is marked to be installed.
- While firefighting, colonists will now fight any fire they walk into.
- Fixed a bug that caused non-prisoner beds to be set as prisoner beds on load.
- Fixed a bug that froze wounded colonist prisoners if they were marked to get doctor care.
- Fixed a bug that prevented prisoners from using nutrient paste dispensers in their cells.
- Fixed a bug that caused temperatures indoors to sometimes become NaN (not a number).
- Fixed a rare bug that prevented running a game that saved with some corrupted work priorities data.
