- What have we been working on (In October) - 24 October 2023
We do not currently have a planned date for an update with these features, but are working hard to bring you new content. Questing! This system has come a long way since the last update. It is mostly back-end work that those of us who don't know coding won't find interesting, but ensures quests work properly, have mapping and UI elements, and proper progression. We've already started designing some important quests. We can't wait to show off what NPCs will ask you to do! Questing will be involved in a variety of progression and unlocks within Farworld. World generation We continue work on adding planets, with work going well on volcanic and ice type planetary bodies. Bootlegging Why follow laws when you're on a colony? We're working on your own colonial distilleries to help you keep your colonists happy in new and fun ways. Artificial Intelligence Sorry, no Buddychatbot yet, but our wor…

- What have we been working on? - 9 September 2023
Pioneers, We wanted to give a quick update on what's being worked on right now. Keep in mind none of this is guaranteed to be the final look or feel of what's being shown off. New wildlife! Ikkir has been making the mole-like enemy dig through terrain to try and reach the player, adding an additional level of challenge. In the long term, this enemy's behavior will be adapted to allow other enemies to pose an actual threat to colonies instead of aimlessly walking against doors hoping they'll open. Our artists have been working to bring you more New locations! Why stay on just a planet when you can explore its orbiting moons too? Look out for blocks you can only find there! Alongside this, world generation is undergoing general changes to make it easier to add more content. In addition, the minimap will have a better understanding of visited vs undiscovered locations to make exploration m…

- Farworld Pioneers Version 1.06 to 1.091 - 21 June 2023
Pioneers, We're happy to bring you our first major bug fixes.

- State of the Game 2 - 13 June 2023
Pioneers, We have continued work on the game and are making good progress on fixing major bugs people are reporting in beta release versions. We do not have a fully comfortable public release for these fixes yet, but are very close to being able to fix a lot of current issues. Currently a number of players are playing on the "pre-release" branch of the game. Please see the linked post if you're interested in accessing the beta branches, as well as the full patch notes. The biggest fixes are: Reduction of NPCs/Players falling through the floor. A lot of this has to do with chunk loading behavior which is being worked on still. Drastically improved save stability. Various NPC AI bugs are fixed that used to stop them from acting up. Please note AI fixes are ongoing and they still display a number of strange behaviors. https://steamcommunity.com/app/1363900/discussions/0/3842179871523644167…
- State of the Game - 1 June 2023
Hello Pioneers! Now that the game has been out and we've been able to evaluate the initial response to the game, we would like to address the current state and what our plans are. Currently the game has a significant number of bugs that we are working to fix as soon as possible. We initially had to roll-back updates 1.04 and 1.05 which will be showing up shortly with fixes described in a prior change-log. These will be on consoles asap but require more certification hoops before release. The major issues we see complaints about are: The AI. NPC colonist behavior currently has issues with wandering into dangerous areas, using their beds appropriately, responsiveness to combat, and other concerns. We also see issues with interactions with NPCs, especially healing them. This is a complex process to fix and improve and is our top priority. We appreciate understanding and all the information…
