Full Changelog: v0.10.5...v0.10.7

v0.10.5 for RW 1.5.4104+

Download Multiplayer-v0.10.5.zip from Assets below

The release file also includes the stable 1.4 version 0.9.8.

Important: For rituals to work in MP, the Prepatcher mod needs to be installed: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2934420800 or https://github.com/Zetrith/Prepatcher/

Prepatcher isn't a required dependency for now because there might still be some issues with it. The mod works without it normally apart from creating rituals not being synchronized in MP.

Prepatcher is a tool for modders that provides patching capabilities beyond those of Harmony. The implementation of rituals was made fairly complex in 1.5 and a different library is need to support them.

Changes:

• Fix Royalty/Ideology rituals in multiplayer (see above, requires Prepatcher; Anomaly rituals are still broken)
• Fix rituals not working in singleplayer (sorry about this one)
• Fix sending caravans from the planet

Changes by Sokyran:

• Fix desyncs caused by Vanilla Expanded Framework
• Fix heater/cooler temperature change desyncs
• Fix pit gates causing desyncs
• Fix labyrinth generation in multiplayer
• Fix Noctol eye rendering in multiplayer

Hotfix 0.10.5:

• Fix autosaving desyncs
• Fix multifaction caravans disappearing on arrival in non-player sites

Note: while Core+DLCs 1.5 is fairly stable, Anomaly is still a work-in-progress and it's recommended to play without it.
