Hello vikings!

It’s time for some tweaks and fixes for the PTB, with several improvements for the Bog Witch update. For example, you’ll find some adjustments to some of the new meads, some corrections for feasts and the serving tray, as well as a new checkpoint for when the Bog Witch will sell you a scythe handle – now it’s after killing Moder rather than after killing Yagluth.

For everyone that tested the Bog Witch update during patch 0.219.10: There was an issue with build pieces taking rain damage in the last PTB. This has been fixed in this version, but the fix cannot be applied retroactively. For anyone with a large base that needs repairing after participating in the last PTB and do not want to do this manually, we recommend that you restore a backup of your world from before the last PTB version.

If you wish to restore a backup of your world to the state it was pre-BogWitch update, please go to the starting menu, click on the “Manage saves” button, expand the backup list of your world, find the top most backup with name format “worldname_backup-timestamp” (no world auto in the name), select it and then click on the restore button.
