# 15 April 2023 - prospective patch notes

## Designer's Notes
We will revise reclamation (and other corpse interactions), as well as Vulture mine-laying.

We have also increased worker training times as another means of testing a slower scaling for the early-game. It should also help to leave more room for "flow" inside early build orders, while increasing the value of parallel worker queues.

## Gameplay
- During construction, Masons and Taloses now move in a predictable pattern (c. DarkenedFantasies)

## Bugfixes
- Many wandering corner cases have been found and fixed (c. Veeq7)
- Range changes now correctly apply to attacks which go to max range, and many max range corner cases have been found and fixed (c. Veeq7)
- Ground workers now use ground distance when returning resources (c. Veeq7)
- While using cncdraw, screen hotkeys will no longer sometimes fail to recall the screen position (c. Veeq7)
- Terran workers that halt construction and then go on to complete a different construction no longer return to the halted structure (c. DarkenedFantasies)
- Taloses now correctly return to their initial construction position, just like Masons (c. DarkenedFantasies)
- Crucible collision size has been updated, fixing issues where it would fail to build on the edges of the map
- Team UI now has a config option for showing your own stats in the same style, defaulting to off (c. Veeq7)

## Audiovisuals
- New sprite for:
	- Epigraph (main sprite adjustments, new thruster)

## UI
- When allies are under attack, placeholder alerts are now played (c. Veeq7)
- All "under attack" notifications are prefixed with a new racial audio cue (code c. Veeq7, audio c. Pr0nogo)
- Terran lifted buildings now play the "base is under attack" notification
- Replays are now auto-saved (c. Veeq7)
