Notes de mise à jour officielles

Improvements and Fixes

• Added a weight limit option for automatic item pickup. The default setting is "Until becoming Heavily Encumbered."
• When returning from a dungeon or moving to the next floor, if any surviving expedition members would be left behind, their names are displayed and additional confirmation is required.
• Fixed an issue where combat status was not properly communicated to allied units when monsters detected them first.
• Improved enemy unit behavior to reduce overlapping when moving or positioning themselves to attack.
• Fixed an issue where acquiring a Training Inscription and saving while paused caused the corresponding skill tree and additional skill points to be lost.
• Fixed an issue where dungeon stay duration and penalty stages were reset when moving between normal dungeon floors.
• Applied a cap so that the total amount of barriers cannot exceed 200% of a unit's maximum health.

Skills / Inscriptions / Barriers

(NOTE : Some of these changes were made in response to reports that certain builds were unreasonably overpowered.)

• Fixed cooldown reduction so that it also applies to the global cooldown.
• Fixed the critical hit effects of the Burning and Bleeding Inscriptions so that they apply to skill damage as well as basic attacks.
• Fixed an issue where the Storm Inscription calculated additional damage based on Physical Attack even for magic damage. It now uses the appropriate attack stat for each damage type.
• Fixed duplicate target handling and the maximum number of targets hit by the Storm Inscription.
• Fixed the Storm Inscription so that its surrounding attack occurs around the original target's position even if the critical hit that triggered it kills the original target.
• Fixed an issue where Sword Counter counterattacked against ranged attacks. It now counterattacks only when defending against melee attacks.
• Fixed an issue where Healing Touch healed only once when used while holding position.
• Fixed an issue where Healing Touch could target the caster or buildings for healing.
• Improved skill target selection lists so that only targets meeting the targeting conditions are displayed.
• Fixed Water Dive so that newly generated Bubbling stacks also count toward Deep Sea stacks.
• Fixed Wave Cycle so that it reduces remaining skill cooldowns according to the specified reduction rate.
• Changed Wave Cycle's cooldown reduction effect to trigger at most once per second.
• Changed Wave Cycle so that its effect triggers when a barrier is successfully granted, even if the actual barrier value does not increase because it has reached the cap.
• Changed Become Fire's Magic Attack increase to be based on the number of Burning stacks applied by the skill, rather than the total Burning stacks at the time of casting.
• Changed Become Fire so that its Magic Attack increase effect is also removed when all Burning stacks on the unit are removed.
• Fixed an issue where, when multiple units summoned Strange Seeds, their healing amounts were overwritten by the stats of the last summoner. Healing is now calculated based on each seed's actual summoner.
• Fixed an issue where the same Strange Seed could be germinated multiple times. Target validity is now checked immediately before germination, including during automatic casting.
• Fixed the Execution Inscription so that it does not select units belonging to the player's faction as execution targets.
• Improved the application and removal of execution effects, as well as their handling when saving and loading.
• Improved the handling of progress states and internal timers for certain passive effects so that they are not reset when moving between the settlement and dungeons.

Expedition Member Recruitment / Growth

• Fixed an issue where recruitment candidates could receive duplicate Training Inscriptions for skill trees they already possessed.
• Changed the calculation of primary attribute growth for recruitment candidates at each level from the "Normal" offering standard to the "Abundant" offering standard.
• Increased the minimum growth values for primary attributes at higher talent grades. Maximum growth values remain unchanged.

Movement / Combat Behavior

• Improved pursuit behavior so that units can stop pursuing a directly designated enemy if the movement path becomes excessively long and another attackable enemy is within their current range.
• Changed monsters spawned by dungeon core activation to initiate combat first.
• Adjusted the explosion timing of Spore Bugs to match that of Acid Bugs.
• Improved Ladybug behavior so that, when overlapping with another unit after charging, it moves to a nearby empty tile to resolve the overlap.

Crafting / Storage / Work

• Expanded the behavior of units vacating their work positions after completing tasks. Units now move to nearby empty tiles not only after using storage containers and crafting stations, but also after using beds, research stations, and play stations.
• Expanded the search range for empty tiles when units vacate their positions after work.
• Improved unit behavior so that units can leave their work positions when blocked by newly constructed walls during construction.
• Fixed an issue where tasks remained in a waiting state when the crafting option was changed from "Craft Until Target Quantity" to "Craft Continuously."
• Fixed an issue where buildings designated for repair were handled incorrectly when a repair station and a storage container overlapped.
• Fixed an issue where the automatic repair Allow/Disallow indicator appeared reversed after equipping or unequipping equipment.
• Improved item placement so that items dropped through direct commands use the same placement rules as crafting results.
• Fixed errors occurring during item searching and hauling behaviors.
• Fixed an issue where carpet construction could not be canceled in Cancel Mode.
• Fixed an issue where unnecessary blocked workspace notifications appeared for crops.

Food / Sleep / Surgery

• Updated the remaining spoilage time tooltip for food to reflect the preservation effect of food storage containers.
• Fixed sleep states so that they are removed when moving to a dungeon.
• Improved surgery tasks to manage patients individually, improving patient identification and positioning.

Dungeon / Stay Penalties

• Separated dungeon stay duration from floor-specific monster patrol timers so that stay penalty calculations continue after moving between normal floors.
• Improved saving and loading so that dungeon stay start times and penalty stages are restored.
• For older saves without a recorded stay start time, stay duration is calculated from the time the save is loaded.
• Fixed dungeon stay penalties so that existing stay effects are cleared when the penalty increases, preventing debuffs from different stages from remaining active simultaneously.

Controls / Display Settings

• Added QWERTY, German Standard QWERTZ, French Traditional AZERTY, and Standard JIS keyboard layout display options to the keybinding settings. The displayed key labels now match the selected layout while the actual keybinding positions remain unchanged.
• Added a compatibility option to replace the tooltip pinning key with B for Japanese input environments where tooltip pinning with Caps Lock may not work consistently.

Dear Community,

First of all, we would like to sincerely thank everyone who has played and supported Dungeon Settlers since its Early Access launch.

We carefully read the reviews and feedback shared through Steam, Discord, QQ, and other community channels. Both constructive criticism and words of encouragement help us understand your experience and continue improving the game.

After reviewing your feedback regarding the Archer balance changes introduced in v0.4.23, we have reverted the following changes in today's patch:

Rapid Fire

• Damage coefficient per hit: 60% → 80%
• Energy Cost: 4 → 3

Arrow Rain

• Cooldown: 24s → 20s

Sniping Shot

• Base Damage coefficient: 160% → 180%
• Additional Damage coefficient per unit of distance: 20% → 30%

As Dungeon Settlers is still in Early Access, we are working to deliver new content according to our roadmap while continuing to refine the existing game. Balance adjustments will remain part of that process, and we will take greater care when reviewing their overall impact.

Please continue sharing your thoughts with us through the Steam forums, Discord, QQ, or any of our other community channels. We truly appreciate every piece of feedback.

If you are enjoying the game, recommending it to your friends or leaving an honest Steam review would be a great help to our team.

Thank you again for your continued support.
