Patch 1.0.06 adds first-ship guidance, fixes Ashenholt army progression, optimizes audio memory, and raises recommended RAM to 16 GB.
Hearth and Hamlet patch 1.0.06 adds a tutorial popup for building the first ship, fixes a rare Ashenholt army spawn or quest-skip problem, and reduces audio memory use. It also raises the recommended Steam requirement from 8 GB to 16 GB RAM; the developer says 8 GB can still work but leaves little room for multitasking.
| Patch | Player-facing changes |
|---|---|
| 1.0.01 | Added Hover to Click, a blueprint tooltip, clearer quests, research-book fixes, backup-save safeguards, and a smaller quest window |
| 1.0.02 | Limited space-bar harvesting to the hovered location and fixed duplicate building, double-resource, and over-level construction bugs |
| 1.0.03 | Shift-click blue-arrow fast travel, safer arrow clicking, zombie-invasion state fix, and clearer Education Building blueprint text |
| 1.0.04 | Rare enemy-death crash fix, enemy-army quest-state fix, spelling corrections, and removal of defunct telemetry |
| 1.0.05 | One-Way and Stable Portals cost less; One-Way Portals activate at the Wizard Academy Shop instead of Town Square; VRAM and Steam launch-option improvements |
| 1.0.06 | First-ship tutorial popup, Ashenholt army progression fix, audio-memory optimization, and 16 GB recommended RAM listing |
For Portals, use the current flow: buy the cheaper Portal, then activate a One-Way Portal at the Wizard Academy Shop, not Town Square. Patch 1.0.05 does not publish a new universal unlock route or exact price table, so those values are not inferred here.
Players using an older build should allow Steam to update before comparing behavior. Patch notes can establish what the developer changed; they do not prove that every save-specific edge case is resolved.
