Posted October 26, 2021 Hello all. I want to give a bit of notice on some changes happening in the next update. I wish I had more notice to give, but I feel it’s important to communicate these changes regardless. Firstly, the “twins” trait had a bug where it was able to be given to a male creature. This makes the trait on that particular creature useless as we do not have access to the father’s traits when the offspring is born. The intention was to force any offspring with this trait to be female, but a bug prevented this from happening. We have fixed that bug, and to correct the current uselessness of the trait, we will be updating any male creature with this trait to be female. The second change has to do with fountains and specifically decorative fountains. Some feedback we had was how confusing it is to have decorative fountains that show flowing water but cannot be used for drinking. With this change, decorative fountains will become wall fountains with a new model pictured below. Fountains will now show flowing water if they contain water, so to keep the same aesthetic, you can replace the wall fountains with the original fountain and put a little water in it to keep it flowing. Fountains will now also show the water animation when on a water source tile even if empty. We do not like to force changes like this upon players, but this was mostly unavoidable. The one I’m most keenly aware of is the change to decorative fountains, but I do hope that you all find the new model pleasing and can find a place for it in your designs. Thank you and happy Wurming! -- Keenan 54 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 27, 2021 Boo that the twin trait wasn't doing anything - I have a male bison that is very happy, but has gotten far more attention than he deserved. But thanks for switching the gender rather than kicking him to the curb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) What? Communicating with users? What is this, competent and professional staff? Someone wake me up! I realize that it probably wasn't Keenan alone who did all the work and as much as i love the upcoming changes, i appreciate a simple post telling us what will happen more than new artwork. Thanks Keenan! More new models please? Edited October 27, 2021 by Locath 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love it though. Edited October 27, 2021 by NeeNee 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
