We’re in the home stretch for the Alpha 9 release. We’ve updated the steam branch with a flurry of bug fixes. Most notably, your soldiers will now attack and open the goblin camp chest. Use the new loot command (in the harvest menu) to instruct your workers to grab the loot from the camp.
We’re still trying to track down one bug for Alpha 9, where the game runs at a really slow framerate right at startup. If you can reproduce this bug and have any info for us, please respond in the comments.
