Putnam has been such a huge blessing to this game since they took ~~him~~ them on.

With a Linux port I might have to install it again too. Ugh my sleep.

Edit: I was an idiot.

Super excited about this as the game runs like shit on my laptop and there's a long running issue of fortresses becoming unplayable at high populations. Anyone tried it out?

This has been a decade too late for me, but I'm still excited to play again once Adventure Mode is up to speed.

I hope this means the Mac version is coming soon!

Wow. That is a cool. My limited experience working with single-threaded game-stuff tells me it is exceptionally hard to port stuff that is written without threading in mind, to multi-threading. Getting the behavior to stay the same while still actually getting better performance requires some really deep insight into how stuff works in the program. On a (program-)global scale. Mad respect if it works out. This should make huge maps or huge fortresses possible.

I haven't yet played the steam version (it is on my todo-list though), but sank quite some hours into the "legacy" version. It can become laggy if you play on big maps with a lot of dwarfs/critters etc on it. I am excited to have even more stuff possible in this already very complex and huge game.

Also nice to see the Linux edition getting more love as well, hopefully they release it soon.

Tried the Steam version when it came out I think a year ago, but got frustrated because stairs were broken. Don't suppose anyone knows if they fixed the bug/misfeature where you couldn't build up stairs without access to the floor above?

Great, do Rimworld next.
