We've handled the last Patreon rewards for this month. Go ahead and drop me a line if you expected something that hasn't come to pass!
Most recently I've been coding up the outstanding promises regarding written content passing along cultural values. Now when philosophers invent/explore different realms of discourse, they can also pass along their related values in their writing, and anybody that reads these books will not only be influenced but also become empowered to write on these topics as well. If the books make it to a library, the entire cultural defaults can slowly drift to the views in the books. Until we hook up things like engineering and medical knowledge to the actual game mechanics, this makes philosophy the most practical realm of study! We've also added some more detail to the other forms of prose writing. Hopefully we'll have a bit more on that in the upcoming dev log tomorrowish.

Wow, so philosophers actually influence the civ now. Perhaps one day a worldgen will simply be a blank slate with civilizations evolving over time depending on what ethics and morals come out of their philosophical study.
