With another day comes another update! But first of all, thank you for your in-depth feedback and heated discussions on Steam and our dedicated Discord server - it brings us tons of useful information and make all decision easier for us.
This time we bring you more optimisation and tweaks, and some minor behind the scenes bug fixing. Big things are coming soon, but we need some extra time and focus to make them work as intended.
Vegetables were added to blueprint costs so now they make more sense in the game economy
Recycler capacity and efficiency was tweaked:
- Each slot can now uptake 500 trash:
- Lv 1: 1 slot = 500 trash => 30 recycled material
- Lv 2: 2 slots = 1000 trash => 60 recycled material
- Lv 3: 4 slots = 2000 trash => 120 recycler material
- A sign was added close to the Bird Feeder to make it clear on how to use it
- Stacking capacity for trash increased to an arbitrary large number!
- Staking capacity for resources has changed to 100 per equipment slot
- Staking capacity for seeds changed to 50 per equipment slot
- Camera now works as before and its much easier to select objects and farm!
Inventory - split item/ pick one
We will be adding tooltips for those as well but for now we wanted to remind that:
You can split items in inventory by holding CTRL button and clicking on item.
You can pick just one item by holding SHIFT and clicking on item.
Game crashing/vanishing items on farm
If your save game broke down or your game crashes but used to work earlier, or your farm items have vanished then please copy your badly performing save games and Player Files and send them to us to: contact.nplh@awakenrealms.com
Where to find them: Open up any folder on your computer. Paste this in a direction field: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Awaken Realms\NPLH\
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SAVE FOLDER NAME HAS CHANGED SINCE PREVIOUS RELASES
("Awaken Realms" instead of "AwakenRealms" (no space))
What is coming up next:
Undergrounds/dungeons are coming back!
Thanks to all your feedback under this thread:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/1472660/discussions/0/3178981911782551421/
We have decided to bring back the undergrounds! They will come together with map and will be graphically enhanced so you can navigate through them more easily and enjoy more diversified biomes inside of them.
They will be completely optional choice and will not stop your progress but they will bring some additional optional rewards. To make sure we make everyone happy they will get a more demanding version for Challenge mode as well ;)
Cooking recipes will be back as costs of blueprints
Based on your feedback we also decided to bring back food and cooking recipes as a cost of crafting. We understand that it was a feature that kept this crafting system a bit more exciting and unique and that some of you may be missing it.
We first have to make sure that all of them are assigned well so you do not get any unnecessary blocks in progress. We will also place few copies of each recipe on map to make sure they are not too hard to find and that you won't get stuck anywhere. Challenge mode will have however only one copy of each recipe and you will need to spend some time to find it.
Also as a reminder:
Missing Cube bots
We truly did not expect so many people to miss them as they were only a placeholders in game but we are happy to say that with so many popular requests they will be returning to our game in next few weeks ????
Missing quest Animals and farm Animals:
All animals in the wild will get their own patrol region so you can always find them in specific places and they will no longer walk into inaccessible places.
Fast travel:
Fast travel will be soon also linked to map and you will be able travel on map to each loading gate once you unlock it. - let us know if you like that idea ;)
Bugs/blocks/issues
We will of course fix another big list of bugs blocks and issues such us missing hay for cows, missing animals, broken quests, scarcity of items etc. You can be sure that
New ui and tooltips
We are also working on a lot of graphic updates that should help you in navigating the game world.
RAM memory issues
Some of you are also experiencing some RAM memory issues that sometimes lead to game crashes, we are looking into that issue and we should have some answers next week!
We are grateful for your unstoppable support and sincerely wish you fun while playing No Place Like Home! See you next week for next big update!
