This update has a great chance to become the last one for Alpha 2. In coming months I’ll be putting more effort to prepare for Steam and GOG early access release along with a big content update, namely Alpha 3.

For those who missed this I’m reminding that Ostriv now has a Steam store page where you can wishlist it and follow the updates. Also just to remind to current owners that if you have bought the game on this site, there’s no need to buy it again: Steam activation keys will be provided to you for free once the game released on Steam and GOG. If you prefer getting updates from HumbleBundle link, no need to worry – it will be still regularly updated along with other platforms.

Now to what’s new in patch 4.

Added/changed:

Redesigned the numeric system to show integer numbers. No more decimal points



The game will now notify on the main screen if an update is available

Added text descriptions about raw materials shortage in several buildings

To update your game you can just download it again from Humble with the same link they sent you when you purchased the game and then replace it completely with your current version. Your saves and options will stay.
