Mod Support!

For a complete list of changes check out the changelog on indev[forums.gnomoria.com].

To use a mod, either subscribe to it on Steam Workshop or copy the mod to your Mods folder where Gnomoria is installed. When starting a new game, select Advanced Options and choose the mod.

To create a mod, copy the "Mod Files" folder into the "Mods" folder and rename it. To set the name and description for your mod, create a text file and name it settings.ini. Add "Name = " without quotes followed by the mod name and on a separate line "Description = " followed by your mod description.

To upload your mod to Steam Workshop, create a folder in the Steam Workshop folder and name it whatever you want. Copy your mod into that new folder and rename it to "Mod Files". To add a preview image when viewing this mod in the Workshop, add an image file named preview.png. Launch Gnomoria, select Steam Workshop and then the mod you wish to add or update.

When creating mods, each file is documented at the top explaining how to edit that file. New images are added to the Sprites folder and can be combined or separate files. Missing files will load the vanilla equivalent. To combine multiple mods, create a folder in your mod folder and name it "Included Mods". This folder should be next to the Data and Sprites folder. Copy the mod you want to include into that new folder. Create a text file called modmergeorder.ini and list the mods in the order you want them to be added. Mods will merge together with mods that loaded first having priority.

The latest stable build of Gnomoria is now available on both OSX and linux platforms. The current indev build of Gnomoria is well into mod support and still has a little ways to go before making it's way to the stable branch. Indev right now is Windows only but will be available for OSX and linux soon.

General

• Stockpile UI is now resizable. Size and position are preserved across play sessions like other resizable windows
  
• Added a restock threshold setting to each stockpile
  
• • Stockpile automatically suspends itself when full and unsuspends when there are the same or more number of spaces available as the threshold
    
  • Manually turning suspend on or off will override any automated behavior
• Gnomes now use items that can be piled (dirt, stone, straw, etc) to pick up similar items while stocking
  
• Added an option on the Smelter to automatically smelt worn items

Fixed

• Visual artifacts with some sprites

This update has been crazy! If you haven't seen the indev board on the official forums, I ran into a ton of bugs getting dirt, etc to act like wheelbarrows. Some bugs might have been old but the majority were new, so I left them out of the changelist going from 0.9.14 to 0.9.15. This has been the longest patch in Gnomoria's history and took much longer than I or anyone could have guessed. I'll still be working on bugs along the way but it will be nice to start working on some other areas of the game again :)

Also, I wanna say thanks to everyone who's been testing out the changes on the indev branch. It's been a huge help, you guys are awesome!
