It's time for another update, which provides several bug fixes and updates several things.
New for example are the flowers as agricultural items. In addition, there is a new system for building walls. And there are craftable paints you can freely use to color your houses!
Furthermore we have a new roadmap for you to give an outlook on coming content updates.
So, go ahead, rush into the Desert Bloom!
Added
- Hoof sounds
- Additional plant and flower seeds, season specific (new seeds can be bought in Taxation)
- Dung (can be picked up near the cows in Taxation and used as fertilizer)
- Flowerpots (crafted at Workbench (Tinkerer))
- Collectible flowers on the map
- Box-trap to catch live rabbits
- The player can now kill a rabbit in his inventory – doing so yields the related resources.
- Changed house modules from section B (planks) and from section C (stones) to a brand-new look
- The player can craft paints on the tinkerer table
- Floor module now also starts with a frame-skeleton (same as wall modules)
- The player can craft fertilizer on the tinkerer table
- Visual representation for some farming-related seeds (such as cotton)
- Feature to paint a house for several colours.
Dev note on colouring: Our goal is to give players plenty of opportunity and room to unleash their creativity. Previously all the houses looked similar, so the first step to customize them is to give the players the option to paint the wall modules in the colours of their choice.
Players can choose from 7 colours for painting the facade and 7 colours for painting the module's decorative elements.
