For the most part, those updates focused on fixing various bugs and issues, but some of them also addressed the game’s balance and even added new cosmetic options.

Changelog for 1.2.0.22

• Added new ‘Hardware Sound’ option to audio options menu. This is enabled by default, but can be disabled if you experience any issues with sound such as sound effects missing or playing abnormally quiet/loud. Requires restart of the game to take effect.
• Changed tools to be available more often and in higher quantities in larger cities and settlements with surrounding manufacturing locations.
• Fixed Kraken head not showing properly on its assigned tile in some cases.
• Fixed combat between AI parties on the worldmap not resolving in some cases.
• Fixed characters not deserting the player when they should.
