We’re excited to present the brand-new update for First Dwarf!
In this update, we’ve improved many aspects of the game, with a primary focus on enhancing wall and pipeline construction. Now, when building walls, you can switch between Drawing Mode and Align Mode. Drawing Mode works just like in the previous update, while Align Mode connects your starting point with the spot you're aiming at using the shortest available path — perfect for building quickly and efficiently, even on uneven terrain. We hope this feature makes construction more intuitive and fun!
Additionally, we’ve refined the default gamepad controls for better usability.
Thanks to your feedback, we’ve removed the requirement to destroy all monster nests on the island before bringing in Settlers. This should improve the pacing and give you more freedom in how you expand. In the near future, nests located near buildings will reduce Settlers’ morale, adding more depth to Settlement management. This, along with other upcoming features, will make the experience even more immersive!
Here’s the full changelog for Update #20 (ver. 0.711):
