At a glance
- Adds controls for deciding who may use cart parking.
- Makes production handling fairer when a building has multiple outputs.
- Adds a bindable demolition hotkey and minor interface improvements.
- Fixes stuck crop selectors, fields stuck in sowing, and missed firewood-stall resource slots.
- Fixes a crash associated with pressing Enter.
Player impact
Settlement workflows should need less manual correction, especially around carts, fields, and buildings with multiple outputs. The hotfix also removes one documented crash path and several blockers that could interrupt routine management.
Key changes
Hotfix 59 adds permissions for cart-parking use, adjusts how multi-output production is handled, and provides a bindable demolition hotkey. Its fixes cover stuck crop selection and sowing, automatic resource slots overlooking firewood stalls, and an Enter-key crash.
What this means for players
The changes target repeated settlement-management friction rather than adding major content. Players affected by the farming or resource-slot issues should see fewer stalled workflows after updating.
Editorial context
Steam Update Radar assessment: this is a compact but practical maintenance release. The official post also discusses possible Alpha 6 content; those development plans are excluded because they are not features delivered by this hotfix.
