Alpha Patch 2: Settings Overhaul, Remappable Keybinds & More

patch-notesupdate

Settings Overhaul

The settings panel got a complete rewrite. It’s now organized into 5 tabs (Save Data, Display, Audio, Gameplay, and Keybindings), so you can find what you need fast.

Remappable Keybindings

All 22 keyboard shortcuts can now be rebound from the Keybindings tab. The system includes:

  • Click any key button to start listening, then press your new key
  • Conflict detection: if the key is already bound, you’ll see a Swap/Cancel prompt
  • Per-key reset or Reset All to restore defaults
  • Bindings persist across sessions

New Settings

  • Auto-save interval: choose between 15s, 30s, 1 min, 2 min, or 5 min
  • Save slot renaming: click “…” next to any save slot on the main menu to give it a custom name
  • 3-click delete safety: deleting a save now requires 3 deliberate clicks instead of YES/NO, with a 3-second timeout reset

New Content

Dragon Raids

A new deep cavern event where dragons attack your mine. Raid intensity scales with depth: dig deeper at your own risk.

Trade Nations Expansion

  • Infinite tier leveling for trade nations with scaling costs and bonuses
  • Trade caravans: send timed missions for depth-scaled rewards
  • Mercenary contracts: hire temporary bonus workers
  • Embargo protection: reduce cave-in and troll raid damage

Visual Upgrades

  • Unique ore veins at every depth (1-20) with sub-vein detail layers
  • New title screen with background art and logo
  • Official library logo replaces the text title in the HUD
  • Artifact & Gem overlay panels: full-screen overlays consistent with other panels
  • Font size pass for improved readability across all panels

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed pickaxe showing only one head during dwarf return walk
  • Fixed troll and dragon raid event bugs
  • Fixed embassy NPC display issues
  • Fixed mythril depth cost scaling
  • Removed stale automation options (buy toggle, auto-runestone)

Localization

  • Traditional Chinese (zh_TW) added as 9th in-game language
  • Updated Latin American flags and improved US flag icon
  • 43 new translation keys for the settings overhaul
