The Capstone Update

Capstone Update Highlights

• Performance and stability. Reduced framerate stutter tied to large stockpiles, fewer ways for tasks to deadlock, and cleaner edge cases around rifts and pathfinding.
• Clearer signals when something’s wrong. A new icon flags doors that can’t be used because they aren’t on a floor or foundation, alerts appear when a mage is at death’s door and you don’t have any usable medical beds, and bed “unreachable” warnings are easier to understand.
• Pathing and room logic. Better detection for Private rooms (even with stairs through corners), a new Public Room keyword, and fixes for rare cases where Underschool rooms could end up blocked.
• Readability and guidance. The Codex text is larger, search is more reliable, ritual entries and costs are corrected, hover links behave like links, potion selection always fits on screen, and XP hovers show exact progress.
• A few world touches. Heat Wave is back, Croa now leave corpses if they can’t reach their nests, along with some other UI adjustments and Creative Mode fixes.

Update Details

• Improvements to framerate stuttering related to stored items.
• New alert icon that appears on doors that cannot be used because they are not on a Floor or Foundation.
• Fixes for drag selection when clicking in front of a Support Column or Stair.
• Fix for rare cases where Underschool Rooms end up with blocked pathing due to the order placing items.
