FIELD GUIDE CHECKED SEP 27, 2026 · PATCH 0.4.5

Interface guide and recovering windows

Use the current UI to inspect prices, production routing and civic actions. Patch 0.4.5 adds the Guild House quick-navigation button, right-click window dismissal and clearer office information; recipes retain their own right-click interaction.

Current EA changes that affect this page

A Guild House shortcut was added to quick navigation. It saves a map search; it does not grant membership, a profession rank or a new office. Right-click closes windows except over interactive areas such as recipes and portraits. Right-clicking a recipe can open its production-routing settings instead. EA includes German text and partial voice-over, including narrator Aart Veder. Some text may remain English while localization work continues.

A minimized window is still a state

The July update added visual hints for reopening elections, trials, ordinary events and planned events. Look for the associated event control after minimizing a window. Do not repeat an action simply because its panel is no longer visible.

Use tooltips for the specific object

Cart hover information can show owner, cargo and destination in the July demo. Law tooltips distinguish legal and illegal states. Read the tooltip attached to the object you are changing rather than applying a rule from another screen.

When the interface disagrees with an older guide

Record the visible label and your build. Several July fixes changed descriptions or clarified units, including energy regeneration wording. A label change can alter the meaning of a number, so both text and value belong in a reliable data record.
