A small patch with several bugfixes was published to the BETA branch (pre_release).
Additionally a Pig animal prototype was added - now you may choose to pick Goats or Pigs for your Animal Pen Extension. For now, Pigs have a 2x meat passive yield while Goats give 1 Meat + 1 Hides. Advanced Skinning doubles the Meat output of the extension, we're talking over further changes to the Development Branches related to husbandry and the Butcher, it would be nice to see more synergy between the Butcher and the Animal Pen Extensions.
By the way, before you give your criticism - from all we know medieval pigs were different to modern pigs, closer in appearance to wild pigs or boars. They look like this on purpose :)

Major changes:
-Changed the goat pen extension to a more versatile "animal pen"

Minor changes:
-Added the livestock order timer to save data
Gameplay & Balance:
-Communal oven will now require refueling
Bugfixes:

-Fixed the fuel reservation bug sometimes getting fuel into the negatives (Beta)
-Fixed building access limit triggering too aggressively, resulting in a workers "waiting" cause they think too many people are trying to access the same building at the same time

-Fixed the meat lying under the table in the hunting camp
-Fixed hunters sometimes bringing over 2 carcasses for skinning in the hunting camp even though there are only 2 skinning racks
Cosmetics:
-Increased the distance of cartwheels/barrels rotating which was earlier reduced too aggressively for optimization
-Tried my best to match UE5 settings (foliage LODs, fog level) to UE4's settings since some players perceived a downgrade
-Increased how quickly the weather changes to reduce the periods of overcast weather since some players reported that the game is too gloomy
Thanks for playing,
