Version 0.23 was a technical update, focusing mainly on stability and performance improvements. Other than that, it was the first recorded overhaul of the pathfinding system in Kenshi.

The long-overdue pathfinding update is finally out. It was a big one and took quite a while as it involved completely tearing out and replacing the pathfinding system.
This is purely a technical update, and adds no gameplay features. Sorry about that, but it now paves the way for some fun-filled updates coming up next.
This was a big overhaul, so new bugs may have been introduced. Pathfinding is not a pretty subject when you are working on a seamless game world.
The update should download automatically when you next start up the game, or via Desura.
0.23.0
FEATURES
- Total pathfinding overhaul.
- Faster map loading times
- Improved frame rate
- reduced load times when entering buildings
BUG FIXES
- import squad to a new game now relocates your squad to the starting town.
- you can now set mouse horizontal/vertical speeds, use a negative number to invert the mouse control.
- Custom made launcher without any invalid options to choose.
NEW BUGS
- There is currently no character collision detection so they all stand in the same spot, I will add this back in asap.
- Splinting doesn't always work, I'm going to make it a separate action in the next update.
PLANNED FOR NEXT TIME
- Next I’m going to start on purchaseable buildings, and using them for basic stuff like sleeping and storage.

I’ve just released 0.23.6 through the auto-updater. This should fix all the major bugs now, particularly those crashes that were occuring.
I’ve now got the basics of building done, but its not in the update yet. I can build things but thats it. Before I release it I want to add doors, and some basic furniture for storage, sleeping and imprisonment. They should be the simplest features to add, so they will be going in first.
