MCA: Kingdoms

MCA: Kingdoms 0.3.1

This update focuses on improving stability, protecting existing worlds, fixing settlement and construction issues, and making MCA: Kingdoms easier to navigate. It also introduces Waystones integration, allowing waystones to automatically use settlement names.

What's New and Improved

• Waystones compatibility: Waystones placed inside recognized settlements can now automatically receive the settlement's name, making travel between villages and kingdoms easier to organize. Duplicate names receive a number, while existing names and player-made changes are always respected.
• Improved settlement discovery: Newly established settlements can now be recognized without reloading chunks. Placing or removing beds, bells, and workstations triggers discovery checks, and players can manually search for nearby settlements.
• More reliable settlement management: Improved how settlements are saved, merged, and transferred between kingdoms. Buildings, resources, development progress, and other records now follow the correct settlement without losing information.
• Safer construction projects: Construction now handles interruptions, crashes, changed blocks, and protected areas more reliably. Projects respect settlement permissions, land claims, and protected homes, preventing unwanted building or accidental damage.
• Improved construction recovery: Cancelling or rolling back construction now carefully restores eligible blocks without overwriting changes made by players or interfering with protected areas.
• Fixed item delivery and refunds: Improved how construction materials, contributions, and refunds are tracked, preventing items from being duplicated or lost when a server crashes or restarts.
• Improved development tracking: Completed projects now retain their benefits and production even when older construction records are cleaned up. Resources are also preserved when settlements merge, including amounts exceeding normal storage limits.
• More reliable charters: Improved charter creation, delivery, and recovery to prevent lost or duplicated charters. Players can also recover eligible charters that failed to reach their inventory.
• Improved feature controls: Disabling a feature no longer prevents players from cleaning up existing activities. Ongoing projects can still be cancelled, refunds collected, charters revoked, and relevant settlement or dynasty decisions completed.
• Improved Kingdom Tasks: Tasks now provide clearer information about available actions, requirements, and restrictions. Reviews only need refreshing when something relevant actually changes, reducing unnecessary interruptions.
• Better Townstead integration: Reorganized Townstead activities into more appropriate task categories and improved career checks for professions, skills, and progression requirements.
• Improved first-time experience: The starting interface now highlights more useful actions depending on your location and available features, helping new players discover settlements, explore village life, manage development, or access kingdom activities.
• More reliable multiplayer behavior: Fixed pinned task information carrying over between server sessions and improved synchronization of settlement changes and ongoing operations.
• Improved performance and stability: Optimized settlement discovery, large settlement handling, configuration reloads, and background processing to reduce unnecessary work and prevent errors.
• Improved documentation and translations: Updated the in-game Book, task descriptions, and documentation, with improvements to English, Spanish, and Chinese text.

Additional Improvements

Numerous fixes and improvements have been made to settlement persistence, construction permissions, world recovery, kingdom transitions, inventory handling, compatibility, and overall server reliability.

MCA: Kingdoms is now more reliable when managing growing settlements, safer for existing worlds, and easier to use throughout your kingdom's development.

Supported Waystones integration requires Waystones 14.1.21 and Balm 7.3.44.

Important: Update both clients and servers to version 0.3.1 together.
