Laysara: Summit Kingdom

If you haven’t finished the campaign yet, don’t worry. There aren’t any direct references, so you can safely play the scenario regardless of your progress in other game modes. Just one warning: it’s not easy! So, if you’re just starting your adventure in Laysara, it’s best to familiarise yourself with the game before tackling this particular scenario :) Campaign tweaks Since the 1.0 launch, we’ve been looking closely at your feedback on the campaign, as this is content that premiered with 1.0 and didn’t have a chance to “mature” in Early Access. And, as one might expect, it turns out we could have done a few things differently :’) From your comments and reviews, we can clearly see there are two major issues that take away from fully enjoying the campaign: • The amount of exported resources from previous missions is sometimes not enough. • The last mission is too hard. More precisely, there is not enough space to build everything. The first issue is the most annoying for those of you who have played Sandbox before, because you know you can address it very easily there: you just switch to another mountain for a moment, boost exports there, then go back to your current game and enjoy the surplus. We didn’t think that would be needed in the campaign… and, well, clearly, we were wrong. ^^’ Therefore, from now on, you can switch mountains in the campaign too! At any moment, you can go back to a previous colony to boost exports from there and make your life easier in the current mission. You can do that using the World Map, just like in Sandbox. The second issue (lack of space on the last mountain) is a little trickier to address - we can’t just add more gameplay area, as changing the geometry of the mountain would result in save corruption. However, we believe we’ve found a solution. First of all, boosting food exports from previous mountains should already help. Secondly, we’ve added the possibility of importing Fodder during the last mission. This should allow you to get rid of Barley Fields, which take up a ton of space, and give you a little more wiggle room. Please do let us know if you find these changes helpful in beating the campaign! Quality-of-life improvements Last but not least, we took the opportunity to address some other smaller things that you felt could use some improvement. You can see the full patch notes below, but let me show you a few highlights: It’s now possible to overwrite (change) a transport route without needing to cancel the route in the building’s UI panel first. Just hold LMB to set the new destination! It’s now possible to trigger avalanches on demand! Use your Avalanche Inducer to trigger an avalanche within its range to make sure your avalanche defences work the way you expect them to. We’ve added variants to the house upgrade button, so you can more easily see which upgrade you’re applying. We’ve also added a downgrade button, as there are absolutely cases where using it makes sense, and the current workaround of destroying the house and placing a new one certainly doesn’t feel elegant. And that’s it for this post! Take a peek at the full notes below, let us know what you think of these changes, and, most importantly, have fun with the game! Thank you so much!
