Full changelog:
Gameplay
- Fixed: Aspirations could be completed without fulfilling all required "sub-quests."
- Fixed: Estate Specialisation events now respect Aspiration restrictions for objectives, preventing invalid placement options in restricted Monuments (e.g. Build a Great Hall in a Castle when choosing “a prosperous priory”)
- Fixed: The Bailiff was not gaining experience.
- Fixed: Workplaces could occasionally produce goods without consuming resources if a worker brought resources while others were already waiting for work.
- Fixed: Housing collider issue that prevented villagers from entering their homes until reload.
- Fixed: Tier 3 Houses were being built even without the required paved roads.
- Fixed: Tier 3 Houses would not downgrade back to Tier 1 if patrol coverage was removed and Tier 2 requirements were not met.
Buildings & Construction
- Fixed: Deleting a gate snapped to a wall, whether built or in preview, would leave a hole where the gate was removed.
- Fixed: Monument sub-buildings that allowed multiple parts, such as a dorm, could have their function switched to single-part buildings, such as the Apiary and vice versa.
- Fixed: Monument decorations now appear immediately upon unlocking while editing a Monument, without needing to select another building.
- Fixed: The Cheesemaker is no longer missing its production progress bar.
- Fixed: Attach nodes remained visible after a part was built under specific circumstances.
- Fixed: Issues with input capacity of production buildings when initially placing or moving additional building parts.
- Updated: Missing descriptions to Rustic Tavern decorations.

Military
- Fixed: Soldiers sent on a mission could become visible on the map after reloading the game.
- Fixed: Soldiers were shown stacking on top of each other at the map exit location during military missions.
UI / UX
- Fixed: Interactive buttons on the Map Generation screen were unreachable on lower screen resolutions.
- Fixed: The Trader window can now be pinned and will remain open when interacting with other buildings.
- Fixed: A large, empty resource tracker remained visible if all resources were removed from a storage building in a specific order.
- Fixed: Monument Part editing buttons could remain visible for a previously selected part when using the sub-building checkboxes.
- Fixed: Patroller and Watchman jobs were missing from the job list.
- Fixed: An unnecessary vertical scrollbar could appear in the Royal Book resource list on certain resolutions.
