Patch v3.0.1n Released!
eduweb
v3.0.1n - RELEASED 29 SEPTEMBER 2026
IMPROVEMENT: Increased wolf wakefulness
We have increased Wakefulness duration from 8 to 10 hours per 24-hour period, which then reduces the sleep requirement from 16 to 14 hours per day.
Why this change? The 8-hour Wakefulness duration worked well initially, but over the years we have added a variety of features (such as injuries and hex invasions) that have made Wakefulness a greater constraint on gameplay. To rebalance the game, we have added two hours to Wakefulness. Now Wakefulness lasts 10 game-hours, which is equivalent to 25 real-world minutes in single-player and accelerated multiplayer and 33 minutes in normal time multiplayer). Since game-days are several minutes longer, we increased pup growth rates so most quests take about the same amount of real-world time. The exception is Growing Pups, which is time-based (five days), and it's not feasible to make it 20% faster.
Trying to determine how much wild wolves sleep is tricky, of course, since it can be hard to differentiate deep sleep from naps and dozing, but we checked with our wolf advisors and got approval for a fairly wide range of sleep.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS:
Pack Life and Territory modes: Extended each season version to last through a full year. Lost River: Improved deterrent selection logic at the Cattle Ranch. (Previously, if the wolves' Cattle Killer reputation grew quite quickly, as could happen in multiplayer games, then Level 2 deterrents would be skipped in favor of Level 3 deterrents. Now Level 2 will not be skipped.) Multiplayer: Gave a tint to text which uses the /me command, to avoid confusion. Changed the pup coats for White Lady to better match the adult (young version) coat colors. Tweaks to sky lighting, especially at sunrise and sunset.
BUGS FIXED:
Cougar and lynx scent tracks have wrong track icon. Multiplayer: When client is on different Sky & Veg mode than the host, occasional differences in cloud coverage coding implementation causes snow to flicker on and off for clients.
