Greetings, Wanderers.

New features

• Automatically leaving Balia and Meadery when recovered - Subjects will automatically leave Balia or Meadery when their Health or Sanity is fully recovered.
• Automatic Construction - Subjects will automatically start building, dismantling, or upgrading structures in the gord after being left in idle state or after depositing the resource if any construction slots are free. This is now a basic subject behavior and can be interrupted by issuing any other order.
• Automatic Work Resumption - Subjects will automatically resume assigned work after 55 seconds of idling inside the gord. There is an additional toggle added to the Subject Info Panel that allows you to turn this automation off.
• Automatic Combat Assistance toggle - It is now possible to turn combat assistance behavior on or off for every subject. This behavior makes the subject engage in combat that is happening in their vicinity.
• Automatic Recovery of Health and Sanity inside gord - Subjects will automatically go to Balia or Meadery when they are idling inside gord for about a minute.
• Automatic Sanity and Health recovery during gathering – When subjects Sanity is below 25% and Health below 45% at the moment of depositing resources, they will first try to recover those parameters to at least 80% before continuing work. There is an additional toggle added to the Subject Info Panel that allows you to turn these automations off.
• Automatic Health recovery during gathering - When subjects receive damage during the gathering process and their Health drops below 45%, they will Panic Run back to the gord to recover their Health to 80% before resuming their work.
• Better communicating items rarity on levels -Rarity of items in treasures is now indicated by color of their lightbeam.
• Updated Minimap - Minimap frame is now smaller with an additional filtering button that allows filtering of particular resources and separates Herbs from other pickables. Places where combat is happening are now marked on the Minimap. Minimap doesn't hide when Subject Info Panel is open.
• Smaller Subject Info panel - Subject Info Panel takes less space on the HUD than previously and is no longer covering the Minimap when opened. Also, automation toggles were added to its top right corner.
• Easier item exchange - Subjects no longer need to stand near each other to exchange items.
• Exchanging items by drag and drop - it is now possible to exchanging items by dragging them from inventory to another subject on the level.
• Selecting target of order by clicking on portrait - It is now possible to select target of the order or incantation by clicking RMB on subject's portrait.
• Skipping whole dialogue sequence - Added possibility to skip whole dialogue sequence. Before, a player was able to skip only one line.
