There is a new update entering the Public Beta, that being Patch 1.2.11. It has brought multiple fixes, some QoL improvements and many more! Feel free to check out the whole Change Log below.
How can I join the Public Beta, you ask? It's easy! Just right click on the game in your Steam library, select Properties, Betas and find the "artisanbeta" branch. If you encounter any bugs or have any feedback to share, we would love to hear from you! Share them here on Steam forums, or come join our dedicated Discord server.
Currently, we are aware of an issue that corrupts save files if you attempt to marry a noble during a time when they are visiting your settlement in a hosted villa. We advise everyone to avoid this scenario to prevent this from happening. As a general practice, make sure to backup your save files and please be advised that the experience may be problematic as it is still a beta version.
We will be testing this build on the beta for a few more days and do our best to fix all problems so it can be published on the live branch as soon as possible.
Fixes
