ALPHA 0.8.6: Best Served Cold, Hotfix 4+


This is somewhere between a small update and a glorified hotfix. However, I'm giving it a clean post because 0.8.6 has certainly produced enough bug reports to produce cumbersome comment sections.

The block of time I typically use to write new content for FC had to go elsewhere this week. Fortunately, FC now has enough active contributors that it can move forward so long as I can manage to optimize code, integrate mods, and fix bugs. Since this update is relatively small and does not seem to break saves at all, I am not pushing the version number to 0.8.7.

Blind content, a mod contributed by Anon, is in an early state. At this point, please do not report instances of blind slaves seeing as bugs, as the events have not gotten a complete pass for this.

Download: DropboxMegaSaves from 0.8.6+ should be compatible, and 0.8+ saves are eligible for New Game Plus. Latest hotfix is 0.8.6.7 (1620 PST September 29), completely save compatible. Fixes are not usually attributed by author, but regular contributors like CornCobMan and Anon are typically the authors of fixes to their own content.
