Foundation’s Patch 1.12.0.17 Cleans Up Harvest Festival and Opens More of the Game to Modders
Polymorph Games pushed out Patch 1.12.0.17 for Foundation on November 6, following a string of smaller hotfixes with a wider round of bug fixes across both the base city-builder and its Harvest Festival DLC. The studio says it is still looking into “the performance drops some of you have experienced with larger festival setups,” so this isn’t a full performance pass, but it clears out a long list of annoyances.
Base Game Fixes
On the base game side, the patch fixes Village Centre territory abandonment, Monument highlighting, the Sawing Shelter extension in preview mode, keyboard camera controls that got disabled after setting trade values on the Royal Book, a memory leak, and an issue where game windows could appear inside the Camera Snapshot tool. There’s also animation polish for Butcher and soldier walking cycles, a fix for outfits rendering with two belts, missing storage visuals on Quarry Cranes and Market Hall tables, a revamped time-of-day icon, and an improved Compendium interface.
Harvest Festival DLC Fixes
The Harvest Festival DLC gets its own batch of fixes: the Tavern Kitchen cook, festival expenses that weren’t being tracked in the budget window, Newcomers heading to the Festival Fountain instead of the Village Centre, and leftover drinks, which now stick around after a festival ends instead of disappearing. The Festival Setup UI has also been cleaned up, and festivals can no longer be started without selecting at least one drink, meal, or entertainer.
More Room for Modders
Perhaps the most interesting line in the notes for the game’s active modding scene: Polymorph has “exposed additional classes, functions, and assets for modding,” including new Sawmill parts, Festival Decorations, Entertainers, and Farmer’s Hoes. That should open the door to a fresh wave of community content built around the Harvest Festival expansion.
Where to Get It
Foundation and the Harvest Festival DLC are both on Steam now. If you’ve been holding off on the expansion, a Steam Wallet Code (Global) covers it and any other Steam purchase without needing to put a card on file.
