Steam Community :: Pioneers of Pagonia

Dev Live Stream and Community Challenge

10 May

Dear Pioneers,

what's better than celebrating the upcoming update with a dev livestream? If you want to watch the devs play Pioneers of Pagonia and get their rear ends bitten by werewolves, then join us on Steam, YouTube and Twitch[www.twitch.tv] next week! When? May 14th at 4 pm CEST.

This time our community manager Katharina will play a co-op session together with our lovely QA-Team (Mirjam, Chris and Samuel). This is your chance to ask everything you always wanted to know about Quality Assurance and other behind-the-scenes topics, while we try to beat a very special map. (And showing you all the crisp new features of our next update, of course!)

We've also been working on a little treat for all of you, Pioneers! (Drumroll please ...) Let us introduce to you the very first and official Community Challenge called "Find the Lost Artifacts"!

Community Challenge: Find the Lost Artifacts

How it works:

We have prepared a special map for you, where several artifacts are hidden in secret locations. The goal is to find all artifacts, beat whatever obstacle you encounter and let your carriers bring the artifacts back to your treasury.

Please note: There are no other NPC factions on the map and you won't find the challenge in your objectives! (we just kept it simple)

But there is more! Everyone who beat the challenge can enter our giveaway. For a chance to win one of three Pagonia-Goodie-Packages, send us your savegame with the completed challenge to the following email address:

pagoniachallenge@envision-entertainment.de

The three winners are chosen randomly from the submitted entries! (given the savegames are valid and the challenge was won)

We will provide the savegame with the Challenge Map on our Discord-Server[discord.gg] as well as on our homepage[pioneersofpagonia.com] on May 14th. Then you'll have two weeks time to complete the challenge and submit your entry.

Submissions will close on May 28th, 6 pm CEST.

Pick up your tools and good luck, Pioneers!

P.S. We will play a variation of the challenge map on stream to not spoil the fun of finding the artefacts yourself. So you can watch the stream spoiler free!

Beta Test for Quality of Life Update 0.6.0 starts now!

2 May

Dear Pioneers,

the latest Beta test of our upcoming quality of life update 0.6.0 is out now!

Please tell us what you think on Discord[discord.gg] or in our Open Beta discussion forum on Steam.

Thank you for your support and have fun testing our new features!

Features

New Village State: Acquainted

The new state “Acquainted” is already achieved with 50% faction standing
The “Acquainted” state already unlocks some trade and gift offers
The overall amount of trade and gift offers has been increased

Building construction mode: New help grid

In building construction mode, a help grid will now also inform about space available around the current building position. This is very helpful to immediately recognize if there is enough room to build a road along or around the building. Beside that, it helps in general to estimate available space for other planned buildings nearby.

Building construction mode: Snapping to road

In building construction mode, hovering over an existing road or very close to it will snap the entrance direction of the planned building to the road. This means it is still possible to place buildings sideways to roads, but also to snap them to the road directly without the need to rotate the building.

Road construction mode: 90 degree snapping

In road construction mode, new planned roads will snap automatically to 90 and 180 degree angles if the current mouse position is close to those axes. The new planned road segment will snap to existing road segments, previous planned road segments and to existing buildings/construction sites.

Road snapping can be enabled and disabled with a new button in the road construction menu
Road snapping can be suppressed by holding CTRL (customizable)

Efficiency statistics: Individual building efficiency display

For each building with a continuous workflow, an efficiency value is shown
- Hovering over a building will show the efficiency value in the building tooltip
- For a selected building, the efficiency value is displayed, too. The tooltip of the value will show the efficiency graph for the last hour. This is very helpful to understand whether the building is operating continuously or not, and at which efficiency level.
Efficiency values are displayed for the following buildings:
- 9 different gathering buildings (Woodcutter, Quarry, Copper hut, etc.)
- 16 different production buildings (Sawmill, Weaponsmith, etc.)
- Both farm buildings, reflecting successful harvesting
- Forester, reflecting successful planting of trees
- Tavern, reflecting successful meal ingredient usage
- Guard Tower / Garrison, reflecting territory expansion
- Explorer, reflecting unknown territory exploration
The efficiency value reflects actual positive results, not if the units are continuously busy. The value of 100% is a best case value, it can be lower for many reasons, depending on the building type. Here are some examples:
- Longer walk distances (for gathering buildings, farms, territory building, explorer, etc.)
- Missing input commodities, missing food supply (for mining) or full output piles
- Weaker ingredients which consume more production time (copper instead of iron)
- Rotting plants (for farms: more seeding, less harvesting)

Economy enhancement: Commodity redirection by more flexible input piles

Equipment items in training buildings which are currently not needed for the ordered and scheduled units of that building, will be released and redirected to other locations if they are needed there. This ensures that equipment can be exchanged between e.g. multiple guild houses or multiple military academies to handle the training/recruitment orders.
Input commodities in buildings which are currently not needed because their recipe has been disabled, will be released and redirected to other locations if they are needed there.

Demolish refund and visualization

Demolishing a building grants 50% (rounded down) of wood/stone construction materials that were used to construct the building
Cloth and rope are refunded 100%
A tooltip shows the amount of commodities refunded
A simple demolish visualization has been added
The demolish refund can help to escape deadlock situations (no more softwood beams, no more stone deposits, no more nutrition food for quarries)

New additional lighting setups

For customized maps you can select between one of several new lighting setups. At the very end of the “Map Setup” section, you will find a new dropdown for “Atmosphere”
By pressing a hotkey (default: CTRL+L) it’s possible to change the current map lighting setup at any time. The last active lighting setup will be part of the savegame.
The 4 available lighting setups are:
- Sunrise
- Cloudy Daytime (Default)
- Golden Hour
- Sunset
New directional atmospheric fog
- The fog color reacts when facing the sun
- Can be deactivated in the settings

Improvements

Gameplay

When a hunter is selected, nearby animals get highlighted
Rations and nutrition meals now still look different after being served at mining buildings

Map setup

The landing party “Beginner” now contains some trade carriers
Added enemy level “Extremely many” which adds another 50% of enemies
Added landing party “Extended for co-op”
This landing party has been created for co-op to allow a faster game start. It has both more units and more commodities. Adding more enemies keeps the overall challenge similar.

Visuals

Improved reflection on the cliff textures

Misc

Audio mixing
Saved games can be deleted from the load and save menus
Loading the game to the main menu with many saved games is now faster.
Switched trade UI layout for better readability so that the player is on left side and the NPC side is on right side
Improvements in the UI layout
Improvements of the localized texts
Improved rendering performance through optimized LOD levels for characters
Optimized VRAM usage with optimized texture compression setup
“Join Co-op game” button got a tooltip
Reworked visuals for the thieves
Improved rendering of distance fog
Performance improvements on maps with a lot of Pagonians

Fixes

Gameplay

Fixed: Sometimes the building state “Construction paused” was not removed even though the building got finished
Fixed: Sometimes a guard tower did not get any reinforcements
Fixed: When a soldier was living in a residence or cottage, its selection window did not reflect this
Fixed: A Pagonian bitten by a werewolf would still show “Ready for new orders” when selected
Fixed: A bitten Pagonian did not have an icon
Fixed: Building preview got stuck at its current location if cursor hovers any UI while holding right mouse button

Visuals

Fixed: Sometimes fish was swimming into the ground when close to the shore
Forester now carries different looking hardwood and softwood saplings
Fixed: State "not enough to do for all staff members at the moment" stayed active when building was turned off
The color of porcini and raspberries baskets was too similar, so the white blanket was removed from the porcini basket
Fixed: Black rabbits suddenly turned red when dead.

Misc

Fixed: When changing the language, not all text was updated to the new language
Fixed several crashes
Fixed: Placed pings in a co-op session persisted in the world after last client left the session

Farming Fest 2024 – Get 15 % off Pioneers of Pagonia!

30 Apr

Dear Pioneers,

We are excited to announce that we are part of this year's Steam Farming Fest!

Steam Farming Fest 2024

The event is running from April 29th to May 6th. This is your chance to get 15 % off Pioneers of Pagonia. The sale will start on April 29th at 10 a.m. PDT. We are delighted to be showcased next to so many cool farming games!

Farming in Pagonia

The economy in Pagonia pretty much wouldn't work without our signature windmill and our farming system. Let us give you a quick summary of how it works:

The crop farm is designed for growing wheat, corn and flax. Once harvested, the goods are waiting to be picked up for further processing. Corn goes to the market stalls and wheat goes to the windmill for producing flour. Flax will be carried to the weaver where it is used to make cloth and rope. However, flax does not need to be grown, it can be foraged, too.

Windmill and Crop FarmPagonian farmers will work on fields nearby the vegetable farm in order to produce cabbages and pumpkins. After sowing the seed and watering the plants with water from the well, the veggies will be harvested and delivered to market stalls.

Good farmers know their land! In Pagonia it does make a difference where certain plants are grown. For example, the cultivation of wheat requires more fertile lands, which are much harder to find. Pumpkins, on the other hand, grow pretty much everywhere!

There you have it! Now you can become an excellent Pagonian farmer yourself. If you like farming in Pagonia, maybe you also like to check out other farmed-themed games during the Farming Fest.

Happy farming and see you in Pagonia!

The price

I know these days it's typical for early access games to do this, but you are asking for $43 Australian Dollars for a game that is missing the majority of its features to be even repayable, or even a better alternative to settlers. I've played the latest build and it's far from that price. $30 or that ballpark would be a fairer price, to lock this in, amd especially if you plan more paid content layer down the line... I think this game would sell more for a better price too. Since you have coop update now,...

Early Access Review

I'm not going to give this a thumbs down - a game has to be genuinely bad for me to do that and this definitely isn't. However, if you're on the fence about picking it up I'd say wait until it comes out of early access. It looks and feels like Settlers but, at the moment, there's very little challenge. As mentioned by other reviewers, creating the supply chains you need is a matter of throwing down the buildings you need. There's no need to put any thought into it as it always feels like you have what you need. As much as I like the aesthetic, right now there's no need to play this over Foundation, which has more challenge and far more customisation.

Early Access Review

This is the Settlers Game I've been waiting for!! The graphics are stunning and game play is old school settlers which i personally love!!! They are making improvements along the way which is great being part of early access, so you can see it evolving. Yes there are similar games out there but this is the one for you if you loved the old school blue byte games like The Settlers 1 to 4!!! Enjoy

It lacks any challenge or progression. Everything is unlocked from the beginning and you never feel like you're going to run out of anything.
