fixing late game stuttering would keep me playing after 400 hours but I doubt they ever will fix it.

contains ALOT more hopefully means the forge upgrades are comeing. the durability on the new weapons is a bit annoying by now.

gonna be a pointless change btw for the ballista. You can only adjust what it targets if u give it a trophy, which means it'll only target that 1 thing and nothing else. I cannot see a single situation where that's useful except for maybe passively killing rabbits in a mistlands base, assuming they would be able to hit moving rabbits at all. Won't be useful for defense period unless you set up 4 ballistas at one point.

i mean you want your big cannons to target the things that are maybe an actual threat to your base and not waste ammo on a boar or run out of ammo on greydwarfs (as these things never stop comeing if youre near a black forest) like trolls or seekers are a good choice to target for them. or youre evil even target good fluffy bois (lox)

and remember applying the trophy will also make the ballista not shot the player anymore. it will only shot that target. and it gives trophys more use aswell.

nothing is set in stone. it may not be just one at a time. maybe a group of trophies can be used. we will see.

Ok but think for one second, if you set it to "seeker" it'll only target seekers, it won't target seeker soldiers, and vice versa. It's rare you would only be attacked by 1 of these two, and more likely youll get both sooner or later, and you probably don't want to spend every in game day switching out trophies on 10 ballistas (this is assuming you've collected enough trophies for this, which is very unlikely for seeker soldiers). So for a mistlands base it means they will only work 1/3 of the time, based on if you set it to seeker, soldier or gjall.

If by some chance they let you use more than 1 trophy, then I can see the use against an archetype of enemy, but until then it's still super situational in which case things would still be more quickly dispatched with a a line of Lox or not deal with it at all with a moat.

more build pieces besides black forge upgrades are not very likely. aside dvergr doors. these are fully functional and in the game. no clue why we cannot build em. everything points towards we should be able too. but the recipe is probaly missing just like for the forge upgrades. so these could get added.

and maybe they add the blue flying lamps of pandora errr the mistlands as build pieces.

latest thing ive seen is that they work on helmets showing the hair.
at least the ballista i found useless right from the start may be useful - i dunno

I very much doubt they will but what I'm hoping for most is a second upgrader to get the Black Forge and Magic Table thing up to level 3.

I hope black forge look is fixed as well. Oh broken building pieces as well plus addition of the remaining stuff. And.. more storage variety.

devs just said so today. itll be in public testing first of course. not on live version.

hopefully this adds black forge 3 and 4.

Aw seriously, I'm still getting my head around the new build pieces, was looking forward to a bit of peace to work on my build projects.

probably just more tweaks and taking out Yule tree

where was this announced? must be pretty significant if they are doing a public test first and not just pushing the content out.

was said on twitter. the wording was "it SHOULD hit public testing in about 1 week from now" was posted on the 25th of jan (today)

Depends on your definition of significant. The 10min freeze bug for example, a bad fix could break things but a good fix is almost a nothing update - except eliminating a nuisance.
