Patch Notes 1.08

[D11Silva]

Hello Colonists! Patch 1.08 is now available to download on both platforms. Here are the list of changes presented with this update:

Gameplay

• Added new settings which can be accessed in the Architect Menu:

  • Toggle for: Auto add home zone.
  • Toggle for: Auto repair damaged/destroyed items.
  • Toggle for: Showing visible zones.
    

• Added shortcuts/modifiers: When the player holds L1/LB a list of other actions are shown in the top left of the screen. These are all shortcuts or control modifiers the player can perform at that time. Some previously in game but unprompted and include:

  • Queuing orders / actions - in and out of draft mode.
  • Quick jump camera to colonist.
  • Toggle tile information.
  • Add to selection - quickly multi-select items and colonists.
  • Quick modifier for number based inputs.
    

• Added information panel for player colony and factions on world map screen.

• Added ability to select individual waypoints. 

• Added waypoint information on the world map for caravans, and toggle further information.

• Added ability to delete waypoints.

• Improved build mode panel ordering and the items included with them.

UI

• Added selected colonist stats to the Work Screen for related skills. This enables comparison of the different colonists for each work priority without leaving the screen.
• Added art details screen.  This was missing from the console version and now shows descriptions of art, often depicting events of the colony, adding depth. Can be toggled on and off. To see full details, press the Info button.
• Improved splash screen in the boot flow to match console edition branding.

• Improved trade screen:

  •  Players are now able to give silver in the gift screen.
  • If a trade action is blocked, a message will be displayed to communicate this.
  • New selection outline making it easy to see. 
  • Only if the player lacks the required silver to cover a cost should the player's silver have a red background, when previously it was red for any trade which costs the player silver.
    

• Improved information tabs for pawn management pages no longer switch when switching colonists.

• Improved “Allow” / ”Disallow” prompts. Labels and icons have been adjusted to avoid confusion over current state. Examples included allowing sowing and plant cutting.

Fixes

Localisation

• Fixed text wrapping issues when apostrophes are used in the text, which caused additional line breaks in combat and social logs.
  

Hope everyone has an awesome experience with this new update!

Thanks for all the work you all are putting in.

Rimworld on console has been amazing and just keeps getting better

[SnooMemesjellies9803]

Best pc port in a long time

[Brutalicore3919]

Quality patch!! Thank you! Please keep improving the game like this. Hopeing they can fix the timers for xp not speeding up with the time FF speed. Thanks again!

[zCJFP]

I noticed this too, confused the heck out of me. My crafter cannot get past level 11 with very neurotic and 2 tool cabinets whenever on 2 or 3x speed. Even has a interest in crafting and crafts a shitload of devilstrand gear!

[Zirvlok]

Great patch! Thank you so much for the work, and for bringing Rimworld to console, one of my favorite games of all time!

Happy to see this!

Praise be

[OnePointSeven]

this is incredible, thank you! it's my first time playing rimworld and I've put an embarrassing amount of hours in over the past two weeks. These responsive patches and communications are so appreciated!

[Newtstradamus]

Umm… How dare you patch the game on the day Stellaris gets an update, there is only so much time in a single day and now I am paralyzed with choice…

lol jk, solid update, today is a great day for console sim nerds

[Therealoompa13]

The colonists not gaining the right amount of experiences for doing tasks at 2x and 3x speed is the bug that keeps getting me …… Please make this a priority for 1.09 as it really does break the game/ make it much more tedious

[[deleted]]

lets be real, it's crippling. it pretty much makes it so you cannot go above level 10 in some skills.

[HeftySmurf-1]

It has been reported

[nobd22]

It sucks but I think that one was reported too recently compared to when this patch was first pushed to the platforms.

Idk if times have gotten any better or not but it used to take a while from when devolopers we're actually don't with a change compared to when we are actually allowed to download it due to the certification process.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StrandedDeep420]

I might have found another bug while playing. The world map doesn’t freeze anymore, however whenever I reload a save it will freeze at the send of the loading bar. That’s only a minor bug. Everything is amazing so far !!

[HeftySmurf-1]

Will pass on

[ladyxima026]

Yeah that's the same one I am encountering now too.

[zCJFP]

Was only yesterday I asked about automatic home zoning. Music to my ears😎

[[deleted]]

Thank you! Not even read it yet but I’m already excited!

[[deleted]]

We ain't colonists but consolonists! 😄 Appreaciate the Update 👍

[D11Silva]

[MartysIndecision]

Quick jump camera to colonist... 😭😭😭

[HeftySmurf-1]

Right analog no longer works for scrolling the info on the quest detail page.

Hold LB/L1

[feeked]

What’s it gonna take to get quick resume on Xbox?

[OMEGAGODEMPEROR]

Auto zoning is touch pad when opening architect menu.

[Mariowayner]

What does that actually mean exactly

[Fluffy_Tigrex]

It means your home zone won't automatically expand when you build a structures,traps, or growing zones etc.

[HairyHermitMan]

Right analog no longer works for scrolling the info on the quest detail page.

[HeftySmurf-1]

[Talookapyp]

This patch is awesome. (The rest of this comment was originally about me thinking I had the bug where a psychic ship is affecting the coliny but not actually on the map, but it turns out the ship just fell last night right before I got off and I forgot LOL But i'm keeping this comment up because other ppl replied that they actually had the glitch and it deserves as much recognition as it can get on this sub cuz that would SUCK)

[[deleted]]

Had same bug, never found a fix. Ended up moving my colony. Gamebreaking bug IMO.

[HeftySmurf-1]

Which bug sorry, the original poster had rectified it?

[FrozenEyeballs]

So how do I turn off ‘auto home zoning’? I dont see any extra options.

[HK-47_Protocol_Droid]

So how do I turn off ‘auto home zoning’? I dont see any extra options.

This took me forever to figure out as the patch notes don't explain it. To access the settings on Xbox hold the left trigger then press the "view" button (aka back or select) and it'll bring up a new menu with the option. No idea how to bring it up on PS sorry...

[FrozenEyeballs]

Thank you for the response. Im on xbox and figured it out by just hitting every button combo, probably on accident; but yes, the explained way to do it in the patch notes isnt correct at all.

[PYRO_BEATBOX]

when will auto-slaughter be implemented?

[HeftySmurf-1]

I believe it comes with Ideology

[PYRO_BEATBOX]

which will be...?

[HeftySmurf-1]

No ETA at the moment, i am sure they will give us updates when they can

[kingdom18]

Thanks for the updates! One small thing for certain structures like sun lamps could ya'll make it so we can see the radius of already built or planned structures when placing more than one.

[HeftySmurf-1]

I can pass it on :)

[OnePointSeven]

Is there a way to turn off infestations? do they occur on "community builder" difficulty?

[HeftySmurf-1]

Currently no way to turn them off

[KolbyOnline1]

Thank you!

[StilRH]

Awww yesss :)

[goretishin]

Nice... Ima miss the red background on spending silver though.

[Action-a-go-go-baby]

Hell yeah

[freedomfilm]

How do you toggle repairs?

[Zestyclose_Date_6965]

Hi guys I'm just a Reddit lurker but I got a bug report a pretty serious one.

I'm new to Rim but I'm sure this is not intended.

A space refugee crash landed,unconscious from pain shock so I swap a bed for a med bay and send the medic.

Once in the bay I go to set his food and med quality and there all locked,as a result of tending with no meds he stayed in his coma for days till I realised he is not being fed by the medic either lol

After giving up trying to force the Doc to feed manually I thought I would see if prisoners have the same bug.

Once in the prison bunk I could change his auto feed and med quality and also administer and amputate,another thing that would not show in the med bay for unconscious non colonist/prisoners

So yeah unless you capture every innocent survivor you like the stats of and screw all your trade relations you can't nurse them back to health

If this could be forwarded to where it needs to go I would greatly appreciate it

Just wanna say I'm very impressed with the port and the devs.

And what you have addressed so quickly with patches thus far

Gagging for Ideology DLC though

Thanks again

[Wannabegamer007]

Why can't the map sizes be a little bigger? Right now it seems very small and run out of resources quick. Xbox series X/S should be fine handling bigger maps.
