Roguefort 0.31.1 — Patch Notes

Hey everyone,

This is a quick follow-up patch that fixes a few issues that I didn't get to before the Survival mode - The Wilds - first went out. Thanks everyone.

Survival mode: The Wilds, hammocks8

Hanging a hammock needs no cord.
Hammocks hang between two trees that stand in a straight line with two clear tiles between them, and they're two tiles long.
You can hang one from either of those two tiles or from any tile beside them, and the game picks the nearest spot for you.
Opening Shelter and rest while you carry a hammock marks every place it can go in green, and the marks stay for your next twenty turns.
When there's nowhere in reach, the task tells you the rule and points you at the nearest spot you've seen.
Sleeping on either tile keeps the cold ground off you. One repair mends the whole hammock and one Recover packs it up.
Cut down either tree and the hammock drops back into your pack.
You can't build on a tile where a hammock, a snare or a gill net is set. The game says what's there and to recover it first.

Cord is twisted from fibre now, and fibre is something you gather. Twisting three cord takes three fibre and can be done anywhere on land.
Reeds, tall grass and bushes can be stripped for fibre by hand. With a knife, multi-tool, hatchet or axe you can also cut fibre from a tree's inner bark, and the tree isn't harmed.
Stripping takes one turn. Reeds and bushes give three fibre, tall grass and bark give two.
Cut reeds and grass grow back in a day, a stripped bush in two and a tree's bark in three. A bush keeps its berries.
You can strip from the tile's menu, with Gather, or with Interact, and Help has a new Fibre and cord section.

Hover or Look at a hammock, gill net, snare, tarp roof, debris shelter, bough bed, fire or ice hole and you get its name, its condition and what to do next.
Gill nets and snares say when they were set, what they hold, when the catch spoils and when they can next catch. A net under winter ice says it's frozen over.
Fires say whether they're lit and about how long the fuel will last in this weather.
Food left on the ground shows how long it keeps, and worn gear you put down shows its condition.
Camp work you stopped part way shows on its tile with the time left.
Reeds, grass, bushes and trees say what fibre they give, or when they'll grow back.
Look mode shows the same card on a gamepad in 2D, 2.5D and first person.

Camp work's first line says which tile it's working on, such as your gill net to the south.
Jobs you can't start say what's missing, how many you hold and where it comes from.
Finished jobs make a sound and say what you now have. A failed fire, a greyed-out job you press and Abandon work all answer too.
An animal coming close pauses your job and keeps its supplies. It used to destroy them, a tarp or a net included.
Back on a Camp work page always returns to the groups.
Sleep lists your bedding, the ground under you, your rain cover and your fire before you lie down, and waking early says which need woke you.
Lighting a fire says how long a new one burns, and a fire that's stacked full says when it can take more fuel.
A pan fries your last cut, tape mends when you have no cord, and a blanket isn't used up on a shelter that doesn't need it.
A debris shelter can't be built over a tarp you've pitched, and a worn roof says what mends it.
Willow, oak and the other woods split into fuel like a plank does.
Demolish no longer pays out wood for a fire you lit.
You can leave a line in the water on automatic wait while you're hungry.

Nets, snares, beds and fires can be opened by name with Interact on a keyboard or a gamepad. A net that wasn't the first water tile round, and any snare, used to need the mouse.
On a Steam Deck or gamepad the pack no longer prints keyboard keys over its rows.
The gill net's card and the warning for a kit with no ferro rod say what the rules do.
Things you make or gather at camp have proper cards.
You're called Castaway unless you choose a name, and the end of a run says Run ended.
