I'd love to hear if anything breaks, or if it doesn't. Thanks in advance.Changes:- Silver and gold tile are now considered fine floor. Fine floor have an info card entry stating that they are fine.

The release of RimWorld - Royalty has been a great success! Thanks to everyone who's bought it so far, the testers and translators, modders, streamers and video makers.I thought it would be a good idea to write a bit about what to expect next. In the past I've rarely written about the future because release dates and game designs often change unexpectedly during development. I can't tell you how many times in the past I had a firm expectation of some development outcome that was totally wrong in the end. Not talking about the future avoided the risk that something would change and people would get angry because they perceive some promise to have been broken. Talking less also allowed me to focus on making the game great instead of spending time managing public expectations.Now, though, I think it's time to give a bit more info of what to expect to to help people in the community make their own decisions and to help modders be ready for what's coming next.

Another day, another hotfix! This is build 1.1.2560.Side note: There were some recent major changes in a few key mods, so there are still some mods with compatibility problems with each other. More info on this in the last hotfix update and a writeup from the author of the Harmony mod. Let's give them a few days to get things settled!This hotfix is small. Its primary purpose is to fix a bug that would cause mechanoid clusters to never be defeated if you saved and reloaded the game after the associated quest arrived but before accepting it. I just wanted to get this out quickly since while this bug is rare, it is quite annoying when it occurs.If this bug affected your savegame, you can defeat any existing broken mech clusters like so:

1. Turn on development mode in the options menu
   
2. Look in the quests menu at the quest that won't end
   
3. Turn on the checkbox "Dev: Debug" under the quest description.
   
4. Scroll down.
   
5. To the right of the 'send signal' box, click the '...' button. Select the entry similar ...

EDIT 2: It appears there's a lot of incompatibility between mods at the moment. Mainly this derives from a recent change in how the Harmony mod worked, which was itself compelled by a change in Unity/.NET. This broke compatibility with many other mods. Here is a full article about Harmony from its author explaining what happened.The recommended fix for now is:

1. Disable the Replace Stuff mod.
   
2. Place the mods HubsLib and Harmony directly after Core/Royalty in the mod load order.

That should address most issues, but a some mods may still need to be updated over the next days.I'm talking to modders more so we can pass along info about this kind of thing more clearly in the future.I originally reverted the hotfix after getting these crash reports, but I've released it again since we haven't found any crashes from the hotfix itself.ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS:A new hotfix for 1.1 has been released.
