THE ROAD AHEADApr 28, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings Goblins, {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30362027/157b3e09a0e8db6ba97625f03182c4940fc7092b.png It’s been a while since we last spoke, but today we bring some exciting and important news. Before we jump into it, we want to extend a huge thank you to all of our players. Whether you're currently building your goblin village or have taken a break (once a goblin, always a goblin!), we truly appreciate all the feedback and support you've given us. You’ve played a big part in the game's success, and we’re incredibly grateful. However, we know we have not fully delivered on the promise and potential of this game we love so much. So, after a lot of long thinking and design work, we have come to an important and difficult decision. Do some major rework! Over the past months, we’ve been working hard, not just on smaller updates and bug fixes but on something much bigger. And here it is: Goblins of Elderstone will be launching a major 2.0 overhaul update later this year! This includes a much-needed and overdue engine upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.5! This will mean significant visual improvements, new gameplay features, and an overall enhanced gameplay experience, taking into account all of our players' feedback over the year. We are very excited to deliver this new version to you soon! Of course, such a big shift comes with challenges. As a result, we’ll be pausing regular small updates for a while so we can focus all our efforts on this major update. But don’t worry—this isn’t a step back. It’s a major leap forward for the future of the game. We’ll be sharing sneak peeks along the way to keep you updated. Once we’re close to launch, we’ll invite some hardcore players to help test the new version and share their feedback. Before we wrap up, we want to say thank you once again. Your passion and support make everything we do possible. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or just joined recently, your presence means the world to us. And if you're not already in our Discord community, now's the perfect time! It’s the best place to get early looks, share your thoughts, and stay on top of all things Goblins of Elderstone.

The Goblin King now has a fresh visual upgrade, including new animations. There’s now increased player control over resource management with new toggles at the Storage Hut. The team has been hard at work on some large balancing changes and design goals this update, with a number of bugs squashed along the way. Patch Notes Gold 1.6.0 - “The Fat King” {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30362027/2b13a35616d0c54bc593b16c66e0f559200deb0b.gif Features: The Goblin King has received a suite of updated visuals. This includes their model and animations. Players can now toggle the acceptance of resources at Storages. Added buttons for cycling between all Warrens and Storages and a button to a Goblin’s UI to go to their Warren. Have had a large overhaul to goblin behavior and AI priorities, with the goal of more active player agency. Major Design Changes: Needs Wheel functions as an overview of Goblin Needs fulfilment instead of Warrens storage. Storages and Warrens have local resource storage instead of global. Prioritization has a significantly stronger effect on Goblin behavior. Removed hidden "village needs" so the player has more control over Goblin behavior. Default scavenge prioritization is based on distance. Excess delivered resources appear as dropped resources. Building upgrade costs have improved to encourage upgrading. Economy overhaul Resources and resource node regeneration decreased. Economy scale decreased. Bundles updated to suit and have varying playstyles. Hauler relative carry capacity increased. King behaves more passively to avoid combat. Movement speed for goblins changing uniform increased. UI: Added saved position for goblin inspect UI, and improved behavior with inspect UI retention. Warrens needs wheel now actively keeps track of goblins meals and hunger instead of stored resources. Removed Red “village needs” numbers from the HUD inventory overlay. Fixes for notification issues with older saves. Bug Fixes: Players that have registered crashes through the crash reporter have had their crashes fixed. Fixed pathing issues with the Turtle on some of our ramps. Goblins will now complete multiple construction actions before looking for a new task. Fixed an issue with enemies still causing goblins to flee after they had died. Did some optimization on some of the more expensive AI calls to help framerates. Dive in and lead your goblins to greatness! ~ Outerdawn Team {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30362027/44d1d1df0f3cde03d0506c32997fb8e9c5eabb19.png The Steam Awards 2024, Nominate Goblins of Elderstone!Nov 28, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, Goblin Chieftains! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30362027/4ca004ac4d647d3e9961b252ff2070884bd91229.png This is the Goblins of Elderstone Team, We kindly ask for your support in recommending Goblins of Elderstone as a nominee for the 'LABOR OF LOVE' category in the upcoming Steam Awards 2024!

Added fixes to the butchery to rebalance the storage sizes to more correctly match the ratio of the recipe from breaking down a pig. Added blocks for jobs that would overflow a crafting buildings storage to not get queued, but if for some reason they still do, to have the overflow drop resources on the ground so none are lost. Bug Fixes: Added some code fixes for a crash related to tavern hero abilities, and a second fix related to treks. Thank you for your continued support and feedback!Update 1.5: Return of the BurrowsAug 21, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, Goblin Chieftains! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30362027/277a8717fcf70bdd7512dc802b40ed25197e86c4.png We’re pleased to bring you a small but significant update as we continue to improve Goblins of Elderstone.

Check the patch notes below to see the specifics. Features: • Reenabled burrows with improved navigation, goblins will now physically travel through a tunnel below the map at increased speed instead of teleporting. • Destroying a Burrows while a goblin is using it will allow them to exit via the entrance, if both are destroyed then any goblins using the tunnel will be killed. • Trade merchant courtyard now has animations, and the turtle is better centered when settling down for trade. • Updated crash reporter for better bug tracking, added some custom art to the crash reporter. Bug Fixes: • Work efficiency on the Worg den UI is fixed. • Incorrect skeleton count in the enemy's notification has been fixed. • Added some new unstuck code for more fixes/detection for how goblins can resolve their state if their pathfinding fails. • Added a fix for some empty notifications that could be loaded from a save.

This update brings an exciting new dynamic to your goblin village with the introduction of the Weaver and Tailor buildings. Now, your weavers will craft the finest cloth while the tailors turn it into stylish clothes fit for any goblin. We've also added a new resource, Armor, to bolster your war units' defense. Plus, with building placement restrictions removed, you can now design your village layout more freely than ever before. Enjoy the revamped visuals of the Trade Hall courtyard and watch your goblin civilization flourish in new ways! But that's not all! We have fine-tuned several aspects of gameplay for a smoother experience. Warm Clothes now better protect against the cold, and sickness mechanics have been consolidated for a more streamlined approach. Expect the Traveling Merchant every spring and enjoy the improved UI with new confirmation prompts and a handy toggle for tutorials. Notable bug fixes include smoother goblin mining animations and better FPS performance. Dive into "The King's New Clothes" update and discover all the delightful changes waiting for you in Goblins of Elderstone! ⚠️ Due to some ongoing issues with burrows we have decided to temporarily remove burrows for now. ➥ Features: Split the Weaver building into a Weaver and Tailor building. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30362027/07ff8c2c8bc6dfa549c0429c55b446d79a7316c0.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30362027/83b99f5f542cc6d5beec5b4a371eb9cd7683131a.png Added new resource 'Armor' which is used by some advanced War units to reduce damage taken. Removed the placement restriction for buildings to allow for more free-form village layouts. Updated the visuals for the Trade hall courtyard and reduced its size. ➥ Balancing: Changed Warm Clothes to reduce the effects of cold instead of giving a temporary health boost. Disease and Sickness have been merged. Traveling Merchant will now come in spring regardless of if your Trade hall is built, but you may only purchase from them if you have a Trade Prince active. Imprisoned and trekking goblins now both block a player from reassigning those goblins, they have also been moved to the bottom of the 'All Goblins' filter in the Roster. Changed rosters to automatically filter goblins by their relevant stat for a job by default. Food and Sleep decreases slower over time. Storage capacity has been increased. Corpses can now rise regardless of season and will do so after a fixed time irrelevant of winter.

We have so much planned. We recently released our first major feature update for the year, called Rule the Chaos. It's been one of the most impactful updates so far and features some of the most requested changes. There's been a major rework to how Satisfaction and Rioting function, shifting away from rioting to what we call Chaos Actions. We've also rebalanced various conditions and how they affect the goblins' moods. We've simplified these goblin moods by removing happiness, respect, laziness, and aggression. Now, the main satisfaction of a goblin is focus. Understanding each of your goblins will be more straightforward, and their conditions will clearly show how they affect this satisfaction. To match this design update, we've revamped the goblin stat's UI with a more streamlined and user-friendly look, along with improved and informative built-in tooltips. There has also been an extensive pass done on gameplay balancing, affecting almost every aspect of the game. You can check out the full details on our patch notes. A fun new creature has been added to the traveling merchant; be sure to keep an eye out for them in the game. We are already busy working on our next major feature update, called Divine Tech. This will introduce a new approach to gameplay, with improvements to the role of the gods and the building progression tree. Following that, we will be working on an update called Treks of Elderstone, which will introduce a new track management system, and improvements to our goblin population usage mechanics. We'd also like to give a huge shout-out to all our players and fans on Discord. Your excitement, feedback, and banter are always greatly appreciated. Thank you all so very much for your continued support. If you're not already part of our Discord community, please come join us. As always, enjoy your time in Elderstone, and we look forward to sharing more with you real soon. ~OuterDawn Team {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30362027/44d1d1df0f3cde03d0506c32997fb8e9c5eabb19.pngGoblins of Elderstone is -25% Off Now!May 13, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, Dearest Goblins!🍻 We are happy to announce that we are taking a part in Endless Replayability Fest!

This update has a major rework to how satisfaction and rioting functions - shifting from rioting to what we call “chaos actions”. We’ve also done a major overhaul to balancing conditions, and how they affect goblins' moods. This has been one of the largest overhauls we have done to the AI for your goblins since the game was in early access and we hope you enjoy the new system and have fun ruling the chaos of your goblin tribe! Features: Rioting has changed to Chaos Actions. A new character has been added and updated for the Spring Merchant All conditions now affect Satisfaction. Removed Happiness, Respect, Laziness, and Aggression. All new updated traits. Decorations increase satisfaction. Removed dying of starvation. UI improvements to support Rule the Chaos. Crafters can now transport their ingredients and tools from storage themselves. Balancing: Gob the builder traits condition updated. Improved Story Moments options and results. Crafters and scavengers only transport resources when necessary. Travelling Merchant brings more item types and has an increased chance of bringing Frogs, Cloth, Iron, and Stone. Firewood delivery happens earlier. All buildings Firewood for fuel capacity reduced. Campfire heat radius and fuel consumption increased. Removed Initial Storage capacity display and destroy button. Continue button added to in-game menu. Cog icon now spins to show active production. Increased babies/birth rate button range. Building upgrades are always accessible. Initial placement building is now a Grand Hall instead of a Campfire. Tutorial update to support Grand Hall initial placement. Habitat size term Stable changed to Balanced. Fixed storage description. Bug Fixes: Due to changes to the footprints for Grandhall and Tradehall, older saves had to be culled. Fixed an issue with the highlight on goblins becoming fixed on one unit. Negative numbers in the Spawned Enemies notification corrected. Important Note We have swapped the Treks of Elderstone with the One and Only God update on our road map. We also changed the name to be Divine Tech. This is because the Treks of Elderstone will take a longer time to develop, and you are going to encounter the God's building sooner. This decision was made after consideration of the gameplay mechanics and our player's needs and feedback. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30362027/1446bea359e465b9ce16e0eb379235ff43757676.png ➤ Don't forget to join our Discord server and join in on all the fun. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30362027/44d1d1df0f3cde03d0506c32997fb8e9c5eabb19.png Dev LetterApr 16, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, Dearest Goblins!🍻 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30362027/3317da035cede31d7629c9fc9891a56fb65b3c90.png Reflecting on the past year since our game's launch, we've received a lot of feedback from our players, and we want to express our gratitude for the valuable input you've provided.
