Stoneshard Patch 0.9.1.16 Notes – Jan. 23, 2025
GAMEPLAY AND BALANCE
- Added a new Crypt contract: “Cleansing Ritual”.
- Temporarily disabled the system for closing dungeons after their associated contract is completed in the background this should solve the issue of arriving at a settlement only to find almost no available contracts. The system will be re-enabled after we finalize the intended dungeon progression.
- Slightly reduced the base Bodypart Damage coefficient.
- Adjusted the formula for thrown items:
- Agility now affects the damage dealt and Crit Chance.
- Strength the damage dealt and Range.
- Perception the Accuracy and Crit Chance.
- Reduced the cost of Darrel’s “Forced March” Perk.
- Added Hay, which will now be crafted instead of Straw. Bedrolls can be crafted both with Straw and Hay.
- Significantly increased the cooldowns of the Followers’ free Perks and decreased the cooldowns of paid Perks.
- Added an option to break a contract after fulfilling its every objective.
- Added an option to back away from discussing completed contracts, allowing you to change your mind and later claim the reward from a different NPC.
- Osbrook Bread Bowl Stew can now be cooked with Salted Bear Fat.
- Fine-tuned some of the items’ stats.
- The Husk: reduced the penalties of “Unsteady Gait” to 4% per stack. Fixed the Accuracy penalty which was two times more impactful than listed.
- The Crypt Keeper: tweaked his stats and gave him access to “Onslaught” and “Knock Out”. Fixed his “material” type (which was listed as Flesh instead of Bone), granting him correct Resistances.
AI
- Changed the Vision zone of enemies from square to radial, just like that of the player character. This should solve several problems, such as enemies being able to target the player character with abilities from around corners while remaining invisible.

- Added some randomness to the ranged enemies’ algorithm for keeping distance, which should get rid of drawn-out chases across open areas.
