Manor Lords beta targets stable update by end of August

Manor Lords is preparing to move its current beta update to the stable branch by the end of August after another bug-fix round. The August 16 notice covers changes from version 0.8.097 through 0.8.100 and tells testers to remove mods and back up saves before selecting the pre_release branch.

Manor Lords: confirmed details

Butcher output rises from four to six Beef for Cows and from two to three for Calves, while Sheep produce three Mutton. Logging Camps support three assigned Oxen instead of one, and the Construction Yard gains two Oxen plus an Ox Cart. The build also extends controller support, improves animal pathing and repairs trading, storage and interface problems.

What changes for players

More ox capacity can ease a settlement’s construction bottleneck, while changed meat output and seasonal milk production alter livestock planning. Removing mods is essential because a crash in a modified beta does not isolate a base-game problem. Stable-branch players can wait for the planned promotion instead of risking an active campaign.

Timing and wider context

End of August is a development target, not a guaranteed hour or day. The beta password and branch instructions remain in the official post, and saves should stay backed up until the released version and required mods have been tested together.

The feature list and timing above reflect the developer’s announcement published on August 16, 2026. Future hotfixes can adjust balance or availability, so live values should be checked against the current client.

For Manor Lords, the practical checkpoint is the live client: confirm the installed version, platform notes and regional rollout before relying on a scheduled feature. Store availability, maintenance windows and certification can create timing differences even when the developer announces one date for the wider release.
