Hearth & HamletHearth and Hamlet patch notes
Hearth and Hamlet 1.0.01 through 1.0.07 changes: memory improvements, portal prices, quest fixes, fast travel and manual harvesting controls.
1.0.07 - September 5, 2026
The developer describes this as a memory-focused patch, reducing VRAM use by approximately 1.1 GB through asset changes.
The current game text also makes the Blessing of Protection duration explicit: +10 Soldier Defence for 120 seconds.
1.0.06 - August 29, 2026
- To build a ship, upgrade the Fishing Hut or Fishing Pier, then construct the ship at the Shipwright. A new tutorial explains this sequence.
- Defeating the Ashenholt Army requires a battle victory. A fix prevents the army from failing to spawn during the quest.
- Audio changes reduce memory use. The recommended RAM requirement increased to 16 GB.
1.0.05 - August 27, 2026
- Portal prices were reduced. Current costs are 10,000 gold for One-Way Portal and 20,000 for Stable Portal.
- One-Way Portals now activate at the Wizard Academy Shop, correcting their previous Town Square activation.
- Asset and launch-option changes address memory pressure and graphical issues.
1.0.04 - August 24, 2026
This update fixed an enemy-death crash and a quest proceeding after a failed army battle. It also corrected spelling and removed defunct game telemetry.
1.0.03 - August 22, 2026
- Hold Shift and click a blue arrow to move the camera to its destination. An ordinary click no longer triggers this fast travel. See controls and camera.
- Soup Kitchen correctly states that it increases food consumption by 20%. The research entry has the same food cost.
- The education building reward text now identifies upgrades that unlock blueprint research.
- Zombie invasions no longer remain active after exiting and immediately loading a different save or starting a new game.
1.0.02 - August 22, 2026
- After clicking a harvest location, Space continues harvesting only while the pointer remains over that location. See manual harvesting for the current controls.
- Hover to Click no longer doubles resource gains. Fixes also prevent high Dexterity from constructing an unintended second location and stop buildings exceeding their maximum level.
1.0.01 - August 21, 2026
- Options gained Hover to Click, which removes the need to click and hold while harvesting. Blue helper arrows can also be disabled in Options.
- Research tabs stay on one side, the book is less prone to closing after a slight misclick, and missing Farm and Hunting research appears correctly.
- Blueprint tooltips and quest descriptions were clarified. A rare failure to unlock the Magic trade Buy button was fixed.
- The save system gained backup saves and safeguards against corruption.
