Runekeeper Update #1

Tonight we are releasing a small patch to address some of the issues found so far in Runekeeper. More to come as always after a big major update!

Bonus tip: You can combine items into stacks within your inventory by using Ctrl + left-click on the item you want to stack. You can change this binding in the options.

New

  • You can now use shift + scroll to move stacked items to or from the active inventory.

Improvements

  • “Repeat from action history” mode now turns itself off when doing anything other than repeating an action to prevent accidental usage. (Thanks muzzy!)
  • Added support for displaying the correct keys for alternate keyboard layouts. (Thanks muzzy!)
  • Coastal water-based templates now feature gravel instead of dirt.
  • Cave entrances now attempt to be surrounded by more passable tiles.
  • Added the ability to get runes through dismantling.
  • The Ascend or Descend action is no longer discovered by default for new players in order to further simplify the initial actions drawer, and must be instead discovered by right-clicking (or using the spacebar in front of) a cave entrance and using the action, or by using the dedicated Ascend or Descend binding.

Balance

  • Increased the amount of natural cave spawns across all biomes.
  • Reduced or removed the chance of gaining runes based on the tier of territory you are in.
  • The “Auto Pickup While Moving” option has been removed in favour of the action slot “Auto-Use” and “Target Hovered Tile” options, which obey the same turn-passing rules as manually picking up items.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the Starter Quest not working properly in certain situations. (Thanks K4_E!)
  • Fixed quickmoving items to containers with an “open” stack of the same type causing a desync where the new items either display at the start or the end.
  • Fixed “Dig” and “Enchant” actions not properly awarding runes.
  • Fixed a multiplayer desync that occurred when joining a game while another player was resting.
  • Fixed being able to import milestone modifiers that aren’t unlocked. (Thanks ApocRider!)
  • Fixed choosing an action in the actions drawer not defaulting the “Target Hovered Tile” option to the correct state.
  • Various item bindings are now disabled entirely when dragging an item to hopefully prevent some UI edge cases. (Thanks muzzy!)
  • Reduced the chance of the starting water source from the Starter Quest going into the ocean.
  • Fixed the “bleeding” status effect overlay not working.
  • Fixed an infinitely long durability bar when dragging an item that’s about to break. (Thanks muzzy!)
  • Fixed non-modifier action slots being used when releasing the modifier first of a modifier action slot. (Thanks muzzy!)
  • Fixed creatures not becoming alerted when attacking you.
  • Fixed explored areas on the map not always getting revealed in multiplayer games.
  • Fixed the pause button being invisible with certain options set. (Thanks Soul5hadows!)
  • Fixed being able to gain “Theurgy” skill by refining or reinforcing runes. (Thanks Rheo!)
  • Fixed the Runekeeper milestone modifier only updating the “last received rune” when receiving multiple runes at once. (Thanks muzzy!)
  • Fixed the Runekeeper milestone only progressing when receiving multiple runes at once. (Thanks muzzy!)
  • Fixed the Doctor milestone not being possible to progress. (Thanks muzzy!)

Modding

  • Re-enabling a mod will now re-initialize languages and stylesheets. (Thanks GWIDON!)
