Large objects will now snap to the ground correcting with Snap to Ground enabled. Various objects will no longer disappear when returning back to Design mode. Daily BURG.L quests work again after loading your save. Fixed crash that could happen with clients when relocating an object. Fixed some creatures being halfway in the ground when returning back to Design mode. Reset Factory Defaults in the Options window works properly. Swapped hit creatures with its weakness BURG.L quest to Kill Orb Weaver with their weakness. Other small BURG.L quest fixes.

Hello everyone! We want to share a nifty tutorial related to localization for members of the modding community! Update 1.2 now has support for string override tables, which will allow you to make modifications to change typos, grammar, and glossary linking. While we always strive to have good localization, we understand it is a very complicated process and often leaves mistakes. Using override tables gives users the ability to change any string in the game. We hope these changes will help our community with support string overrides for entire languages that we did not localize to. Please note that the instructions only work for Steam, but the string table override mods should function on the Windows Store (GamePass) version of Pentiment if placed in the appropriate folder. Start from an existing StringTableBundle Find the language string table bundle file for the language that you wish to modify. These are JSON files that exist in the Pentiment_Data folder of the local install path of the application. You can get properties about the Pentiment application in Steam and click "Local Files" and then click the "Browse..." button. Navigate to the Petiment_Data\StreamingAssets\localized directory there you should see directories for every localization that we support. Open the appropriate localization and included "text" directory to find the lang.stringtablebundle file. Open this file up in any text editor and you will see a JSON object that contains every string for this language. Change the StringTableBundle After you have a bundle that you wish to edit. Make any string changes that you wish to reflect in the game. As mentioned above this can be direct string changes to each string in the game. You will often need to locate the string via a search or if you're not sure you can enable the debug settings on the Steam version of the application using the console command "QA" this will enable labels next to all conversations in the game as well as display helpful information about which conversation and cutscene is playing at the current time. This can help you locate the string that you wish to modify. Start the Pentiment application Hide the ` (Tilde) key and open the debug console. Type "QA" (without quote) and hit Enter You should now see the conversation NodeID numbers which coincides with a string ID number within a given string table within the string table bundle. In addition to making changes to the direct strings for a localization you also can add markup to your strings for added functionality. The markup tags that you can add directly are: <i>Italic Text</i> <red>Red Rubrication</red> <blue>Blue Rubrication</blue> <green>Green Rubrication</green> <shake>Shaking Text</shake> <frantic>Frantic Text</frantic> <whisper>Whisper Text</whisper> In addition to being able to add procedural markup, you may also modify how the procedural glossary system parses the text by manually tagging the entry with the following markup. This is some text about <link=g:lex_talionis>Lex Talionis</link> that you should know If you want a full list of all of the glossary terms in the game that you can link to, you can search in the Pentiment_Data\StreamingAssets\design\gamedata\bundle.gamedatabunde and search for Game.GameData.GlossaryTermGameData and use the term's DebugName in this markup. If you want to prevent text from being tagged by the procedural glossary system you may also add the <XG> tag to a block of text. This is text that is parsed for glossary terms <xg>this text is not</xg> and this text is. Save a mod folder After you've made the changes you wish to make you must save a folder that is the parent of this string table override. The path where this is located is in a hidden AppData directory. Navigate to the directory C;\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Obsidian Entertainment\Pentiment If needed create a new directory called "mods" here and navigate within that directory. Create a new folder under mods and name it something unique for your mode like "eng_glossary_fix1" Under your mod name folder add a new localized directory Under the localized directory add a folder that matches the localization name (Step2 of Start from Existing StringTableBundle) In that localization directory save your new string table bundle whatever you want but with the appropriate .stringtablebundle extension. Launch the game executable and the strings should now be updated! The full path for a mod should be marked as follows. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Obsidian Entertainment\Pentiment\mods\<mymodname>\localized\<localizationname>\<stringtable_name>.stringtablebundle Make a new language Since you can update every string in the game you could potentially update every string for example in the game to a new language! To do this you follow all of the steps above edit every string in the game to be translated to the new language. In addition to the .stringtable file you must also create a new language.xml file that you put in the same directory. That file is a small data file that tells the game information about this language. Name: Debug name of the language Folder: This is the folder name where we should look for the .stringtablebundle file for a language this should be a new directory. This is also the folder where this file is located. Charset: What font/character set this language should use. Due to the custom way fonts are handled in the game may only choose the following options.x Latin: Pentiment Custom Latin Fonts (Default if missing) Japanese: NotoSerifJA (https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Serif+JP?query=Noto+Serif+JA) Hangul: NotoSerifKR (https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Serif+KR) Cyrillic: Alice (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Alice) Hanzi: NotoSerifSC (https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Serif+SC?query=Noto+Serif+SC) GUIString: The display name for the language in the dropdown Save this language XML file in your mod's localized\<localizationfolder>\language.xml (in this case this is the AppData\mods\ukrainian\localized\ukuk directory as an example) Relaunch the game and this language should now appear in the dropdown in options. Additional considerations If a character is not on the specified charset fonts specified in the language, the glyph will fallback to a last chance font which may look incorrect or not render at all. Most of the characters we use for our game are precached, but characters that we don't use will need to be computed when the character is first rendered which may cause performance issues. To reduce conflicts with other string overrides you only need to include the string bundle, string table, and id that you are changing. This is a minimum string change for the GUI table to change the new string.

Added localizations for Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese. New Outer Farms area allowing you to find more of the character's homes. Optimized game resources which may result in a larger patch download size. Many bug fixes and improvements. PC Only String Override support allowing users to change the text in the game and make localization mods. Guide coming soon!

The Super Duper Update Hey there Grounded fanatics! We're totally stoked to reveal a rad new update packed with awesome new features and improvements. New Features Wasps Swarm the Yard Get ready to buzz with excitement as wasps invade the yard. Battle with wasps and drones that guard their mini hives across the upper yard. Keep your eyes peeled for the hidden main nest as well. A word of caution: piss off their kin and you'll release the full fury of the hive. New Boss: Wasp Queen Cozy within her hidden hive, the ominous queen of the skies awaits. Super Duper (Item Duplication Machine) Introducing the Super Duper! The Super Duper is a new piece of equipment installed in the Oak Lab that duplicates gear and items using Raw Science. Find Duper Discs in the yard labs, which upgrade the Super Duper to clone even more items. The first disc unlocks operation of the Super Duper, while the other discs unlock duping of higher-tier equipment and items. Any equipment that is duped will include all the item's Smithing upgrades. Higher-tier equipment costs more Raw Science to dupe. It can even duplicate trinkets, unique items, and upgrade stones! Example: Duplicate an upgraded equipment set for your friends if they are joining your party mid-way through your adventure! Chillax at your Base Bases are more than just protection against giant insects that want to eat you. They are also for making you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Buildings now exude cozy vibes when you are nearby. If you are around enough cozy buildings, your level of coziness will rise. For each new level of coziness you reach, you can unlock new things: New decorative building recipes A mutation useful for base building New emotes to expand your body language Being in a cozy location will also give you status effects that decrease your hunger and thirst drain and slowly heal you. Multiple buildings of the same type don't give you the same level of coziness. For example, one bed will provide lots of coziness, but a second bed of the same type will only give you a little more coziness. There are five levels of coziness. Your current coziness level will show on your HUD if it is at least 1. Note: Some existing decorative buildings are now unlocked via the coziness system instead of by analyzing a material (such as the Grandfather Clock). Handy Gnat Helps You Build Have a large base renovation in mind? Tired of gravity holding you down? Then see what the buzz is about and call on your local construction pro: Handy Gnat! As Handy Gnat, you can fly around to build and customize bases to your heart's content. In order to use Handy Gnat, you must have the "Handy Gnat Unlocked" custom game option toggled on. This option is on by default in Creative and Creative with Bugs game modes. For Survival game modes, you must convert your game to a Custom Game first in the Game Settings menu to enable this feature. Once enabled, Handy Gnat can be activated in the Crafting menu or the Construction radial. Handy Gnat can build from storage near your teen and even haul Grass Planks and Weed Stems. Additional Custom Game Options All Mutations Unlocked Start with all Mutations unlocked and available. Fully Yoked Start with all Milk Molar infusions fully maxed out. Handy Gnat Enabled Allows you to activate the Handy Gnat build helper. "All Recipes Unlocked and Free" has been split into two separate options.: All Recipes Unlocked, and All Recipes Free. Loot Luck Increase the chance of obtaining rare drops and receive more loot in general! Loot luck comes in 2 forms: Generic Loot Luck Increases drop rate for all items on all creatures. Targeted Loot Luck Greatly increases the drop rate for all items from a specific creature type (for example, "Loot Luck: Black Widow" will increase the drop rate specifically for black widows). This new luck status effect can be found in various places, most easily by utilizing the new "Rub For Luck" feature on all the stuffed creature buildings! Turret Improvements The Pebblet Turret and Pollen Turret have been converted to be a single Turret called "Acorn Turret" that can load different ammo types like a bow. When in the Turret, you can press 'R' or Right Bumper to swap ammo types on the fly. The new ammo types you can craft are: Rocky Rounds Pebblet rounds made smooth with bug acid. Pack a punch and push targets back. Groundy Rounds Sticky turret rounds that don't do a lot of damage but can ground flying insects with ease. Pointy Rounds Sharp and simple. Very small cooldown between shots. Sappy Rounds Gooey rounds that are perfect for slowing down enemy crawlers. Burny Rounds Hot little suckers that can set the ground around them ablaze. Pollen Turret recipe and Pollen Turret Science Store entry have been removed. If you previously purchased either the Pollen Turret or Pebblet Turret, you will have access to the new "Acorn Turret" building recipe. If you previously purchased both Turrets, you will be refunded 4,000 Raw Science. Turret aiming angles have been increased so you can aim higher and lower. You can now see the health of the turret while inside of it. Yoked Gardening Muscle Sprouts can be grown in the Garden Patch now. New Achievements Three new achievements added related to the new features and content. Photo Mode Improvements Added Depth of Field slider. 5 new poses added. Steam Deck Support Grounded has been updated to include official Steam Deck support. Fixed issues and improvements include: The game now boots past the initial loading screen. The Xbox log-in window properly displays. Tuned the default graphics settings for Steam Deck to provide an enjoyable experience. Also includes some Steam Deck-specific optimizations. Steam Deck virtual keyboard pops up when selecting any input text field in the game (entering a multiplayer game password, naming your trail marker / storage, pet, etc.) Control prompts no longer flip flop between displaying gamepad and mouse/keyboard controls when using the touch pad or gyro. Note: The Steam store page will not reflect this official support until after the 1.2 Public Test period is complete. Quality of Life Features View Enemy Status Effects Status Effects applied to creatures now appear beneath the enemy health bar while you are attacking them. Building: Hold to Place Many Tired of placing one wall at a time? Then utilize Place Many! You can press and hold the build action and move your cursor to place many structural buildings all at once. You can also bind the "Place Many" control (default unbound) to start Place Many with one button press instead of using the "Hold Build" action to activate. Example uses: Place a horizontal line of 10 foundations all at once. Place a vertical set of 8 walls all at once. Use both directions to make a 10x10 set of walls all at once. Cool Extra Examples: Quickly build a vertical spiral staircase. Quickly build a fireplace with a chimney as tall as you want. Relocate Walls / Floors / Roofs / Foundations You can now relocate walls, floors, roofs, and other structural buildings as long they are not the sole supporter of another building. Mutations You can now configure 4 Mutation loadouts and quickly swap between them using the new Mutation Loadouts radial. The default binding to open the new radial is Right D-Pad on controller or T on keyboard. To make room on the controller, the emote and chat radial have been combined into a single radial. There are five new mutations to unlock. Active Mutation status effects display in the UI next to your other status effect icons. Shared World Backup Saves Shared Worlds now create local backup saves on the last host's machine anytime a save is made. These saves are not stored in the cloud like the primary Shared World save and thus only the host that made them has access to them. Backup saves can only be loaded if you were the last host for the Shared World when the backup save was made. This is done to prevent multiple players from loading very old backup saves that stomp over the current playthrough progress. Beneficial use case example: Your base is completely destroyed and the current host wants to load a backup auto-save from 15 minutes prior when the base was still standing. New Content New Equipment / Items Wasp Morion Wasp Breastplate Wasp Greaves Bard's Tudor Bard's Bow Wasp Queen Trinket 6 secret trinkets Pollen Arrows More smoothies and meals New Buildings Over 90 new buildings have been added for your base building needs! Utility Large Storage Chest Holds 60 items. Large Plank Pallet Holds 60 Grass Planks. Large Stem Pallet Holds 60 Weed Stems. Hot Tub Seats up to four tiny teens, who gain the "Hot Springs" status effect upon soaking in it. Decor Bunk Bed Petal Bed Pupa Leather Couch Trash Can Ant Candle Spider Candle Acorn Shelf Koi Scale Shelf Pinecone Shelf Toenail Chandelier Fireplace Hearth Fireplace Chimney Fireplace Half Chimney Fireplace Chimney Clover Roof Fireplace Chimney Crow Roof Fireplace Vent Picture Frame Pinecone Table Pinecone Armoire Short Pinecone Dresser Tall Pinecone Dresser Vase D Vase E Vase F Weevil Statue Aphid Statue Koi Statue Yoked Girth Statue Moldorc Statue [REDACTED] Statue [REDACTED] Statue Standing [REDACTED] Brazier Sitting [REDACTED] Brazier [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Base Structures Clay Half Clay Foundation Curved Clay Foundation Pebblet Half Pebblet Foundation Curved Pebblet Foundation Clover Clover Peaked Roof Clover Peaked Dome Roof Clover Valley Clover Awning Clover Awning B Clover Awning Corner Clover Awning Diagonal Clover Awning Diagonal B Crow Feather Crow Feather Valley Large Crow Feather Peaked Roof Crow Awning Crow Awning B Crow Awning Corner Grass Grass Outer Curved Floor Corner Grass Stairs Interior Corner Grass Stairs Corner Grass Half Stairs Interior Corner Grass Half Stairs Grass Valley Weed Stem Stem Outer Curved Floor Log Valley Acorn Acorn Stairs Acorn Half Stairs Corner Acorn Stairs Interior Corner Acorn Stairs Corner Acorn Half Stairs Interior Corner Acorn Half Stairs Mushroom Mushroom Stairs B Corner Mushroom Stairs Interior Corner Mushroom Stairs Mushroom Valley Pinecone Pinecone Roof Pinecone Roof Corner Pinecone Roof Squared Corner Pinecone Roof Interior Corner Pinecone Flat Roof Pinecone Flat Triangle Roof Pinecone Peaked Roof Pinecone Peaked Dome Pinecone Valley Ash Ash Valley Other Bur Outer Curved Floor Buoyant Foundation Ramp Wall Mounts Infected Wolf Spider Infected Gnat Grub Wasp Wasp Queen Stuffed Infected Wolf Spider Infected Gnat Grub Wasp Wasp Queen Other Changes / Tuning Audio Updated pickup and equip sounds for weapons, armors, and items. Many more objects will now play the proper material impact sounds when hit.

Milk Molar Upgrades There's now a sixth level of the "Health" upgrade. Health has been rescaled. Previously: 30 → 50 → 65 → 75 → 80 Now: 30 → 55 → 75 → 90 → 100 → 105 Stamina has been rescaled.

Weapons that maintain their original damage type after upgrading down an elemental path should be communicated more clearly For example, an axe that's upgraded down the "spicy" path should now communicate that it's spicy + chopping World Treasure chest in Black Anthill storage room now always gives 2 crow feathers instead of randomly giving 0 to 5. The Stump Lab has been improved to have less frustrating platforming. Added a quest objective and map marker for finding the Hedge Ascent for the Hedge Lab quest. Wolf Spiders will not wake up on their own for the first 3 nights of starting a new game. Large Feather nodes can now drop up to 10 feather resources, up from 7. Small Feather nodes can now drop up to 3 feather resources, up from 1. Pets Pets will jump to their homes or masters when the party rests. Active pets will magically appear near the player if they are very far away. Optimization Notably reduced the amount of network traffic between hosts and clients when playing Multiplayer. Improved framerate on extended playthroughs with larger bases. Creature pathing will not fragment memory so much, which should help prevent out-of-memory crashes. Improved CPU performance of based built on top of buoyant foundations. Improved CPU performance when items are floating in water (example: Lint in the Undershed water). Other general CPU performance improvements. Buildings The "Copy" action is now mapped to R3 for Gamepad. It was previously unmapped. Sitting in chairs slows your hunger and thirst drain.
