Admins/Mods, feel free to edit this post to maintain a current and accurate list.

[txfirefighter]

good post!

[Mattk50]

This is great, good overview of what people can expect if they can buy right now.

I also suggest a "planned but not implemented" to make it extra clear to people. Someone might have read something about owning buildings and take "shops" as that, for example. Not that its the end of the world if that happens but it might be nice. Also with a big *SUBJECT TO CHANGE* disclaimer.

[Blxz]

Hey I learnt something already. Engineering....when did that happen?

[toaster Assassin]

Hey I learnt something already. Engineering....when did that happen?

When I checked the skills (After an update) the skill Engineering was coloured the same colour as the other obtainable ones. I am guessing that the skill is going to be related to the upcoming builds. (Perhaps the speed to construct will be based on your engineering skill).

[Blxz]

Yeah, I checked it in-game. Its unlocked but no use so far as I can tell. Still, it was likely unlocked in the most recent mini-patch since Chris is working on buildings now.

Also the game is damn difficult to play. Has he come up with a fix for the wandering off after battles (and inability to run away after swords have been crossed)?

[Captain Deathbeard]

its fixed now.
Engineering skill is preparation for building.

[txfirefighter]

i noticed that too...

glad its fixed

[Blxz]

Much appreciated and very fast fix.

[tkobo]

Nice to see this.

[toaster Assassin]

Just for the record the first post (The giant list) is updated regularly via the edit button (By any Mod/Admin).My reason for mentioning this is that the list will change and stay current, but the date of topic activity is will be outdated.

[Blxz]

Would it be worthwhile to make a post listing what has changed? As I look at the first post I can't tell what is new.

[toaster Assassin]

It is,the first section of the post is called Current build changes/additions:. It is a copy of the current changes listed on the Lo-Fi games homepage.(Plus any additional info if available) The rest is a list of what is currently implemented.

Edit: I inserted dotted lines between the sections to split 'em up. New changes will be located before the first dotted line.

[Blxz]

Makes a big difference. Nice.

EDIT: Worthwhile to include a screenshot of the in-game map for reference?

[toaster Assassin]

All the locations are already revealed on the player's map. For now, I think a simple text-based post of all the current features is good enough....that or i'm too lazy .....I am going to go with the first choice.





However, when the Kenshi world/map becomes more complex I would have to agree on the visuals.

[toaster Assassin]

The first post on this topic (The list) was edited on June 20. The current version is 0.25.4.

[Dytox]

Isn't It 0.25.5 now?

[MrX292]

yes it is 0.25.5, but the update included only fixes
i think like the problem with invisibel buldings for some ati cards
thats why the feature list is not updated

[toaster Assassin]

List is now updated.

I know that this is a giant wall of text, (Even though the info is listed on the homepage of lofigames.com(http://www.lofigames.com/index.php) and Wika(http://kenshi.wikia.com/wiki/Kenshi_Wiki) and many other places)) I think that a forum grocery style list of current features would be beneficial.
