.....aaaand I've just been informed this update will now be making its way to you tomorrow. Rest assured I'll keep you posted and sincere apologies for the delay - please understand that getting this tool complete and fully functional is my main priority right now.

Weyworld homes under "Lodge" size appear to no longer generate belief. Bug or "intended bug"?

woohoo no more waiting for farmers to spawn :P

Will they also fix the issue with the newest Voyage crashing? I can't start the voyage at all, the game just crashes.

Double thumbs up GK, thought there must be a few tweakable items missing :D

Sweet deal. No word on card costs though?

or editing sticker amounts ?

The values which appear in the table when you first go to edit them don't seem to correspond to the actual default values (three hours to build a size-2 grass lodge? It's 20 minutes before you edit). I've also seen strange things after setting to default values and then quitting; sometimes when I restart, everything is messed up (a grass hut spawning 5 builders?). Resetting to defaults again caused a lot of houses to empty out completely and acquire one-hour breed times.

Hi everybody, I'm afraid that Pavle "Big Thunder" Mihajlovic - our programmer responsible for working on the BFE tool - is fallen sick (there's been a bug going round the studio this last month or so, we've been dropping like flies) and as such, we may not be able to share the BFE update with you today.

Hopefully it will come tomorrow, but may be it will be the day after - all depends on when Pavle is feeling well enough to return to work and naturally, we're reticent to ask him to work on this at home when he's supposed to be recuperating.

In the meantime, I'll keep you posted on any developments.

Not sure, but I can ask when Pavle returns to work.

I'll pass that on and see if we can correct this.

Hope Pavle gets well soon, George.

Yes, me too!

thanks george much appreciated best regards to pav hope he makes a speedy recovery !

So are you saying that you guys put the breeder timers to 24h on purpose? or is it a bug and you are just saying we can finally fix it?

We haven't finished developing the tool just yet, that's why it's only on the opt-in branch. We're hoping to get this all fixed up and in your hands in the next day or two.

That doesn't answer the question though.

Diranux, given the consistency of their emergence and their relation to settlements' conditions (e.g. settlements with less than 100 population aren't hit with this, while those with more than 100 are), I would say that this is by design. Personally, I think it's atrocious regardless of platform and should be rebalanced in some way that still enables microtransactions but without punching you in the face about it.

(Before you jump George, I said regardless of platform. If ever the game becomes as I'd like, I'd prefer that its business model on mobile not be as it is now.)
