Finding Color in the Ashes 2.6
🕑 Added 2025-11-27 00:58:22 +0000 UTCHey everyone! We've got a new build for Finding Color in the Ashes. The 2.6 update is pretty substantial combat balance, with a bunch of new status effects, adjusted rewards, and a new patrol type: Dungeons!
The dungeons are in their infancy, and will get more fleshed out with updates. They allow you to have multiple combats in a day, and are tied into Scout's story. Once you've cleared at least one dungeon with Scout, they will all become available to explore with Lucy as well.
Additionally the interact with companions action has been moved from the morning time slot to the afternoon one, and a variety of other changes have found their way.
Thanks for supporting the game, and we hope you enjoy the update!

Alpha 2.6 Patch Notes
Added
Dungeons can be found in the meadows, ruins, and gnoll hill regions (explore them to 100%).
While on patrol, you may encounter a dungeon POI.
Dungeons can be explored for loot and unique equipment, and play a role in Scout's story.
New items have been added for dungeon exploration: lockpicks, ropes, and torches. These can be bought from the general goods merchant.
Dungeon exploration will eat away at your stamina, health, and mana. Use potions to extend your delves.
Dungeon exploration progress is saved between delving attempts
Dungeons currently pay out a small pile of treasure, but in future updates will provide unique loot.
Dungeons are repeatable, but the first clear will give a key fragment for Scout's story.
Combat status effect overhaul. There are now 7 status effects (up from 2):
Bleed - Dice rolls are 1d3 instead of 1d6

Corruption - Increase fracture every turn
Rooted - Cannot dodge
Panic- Cannot use items, drink potions, or recover
Tired- Dice pools are halved (to a minimum of 1)
Enemy special attacks: most monsters now build up to a special attack every couple turns. These attacks inflict status effects on the player.
Burst Potions - these instantly grant +3 Action points to your companion in combat

Cannot accesss companion, Hire, or inn project screen while on patrol

There is a bug with Plate and Scale Mail where the heavy trait is causing dodges to not crit. I have it fixed for the next build. If you are having a different problem, let me know!

Not Sure, but i think the enhanced dodge ability is not working. I loaded a previous save
