The Livestock Update Goes Live January 30th!

Hello Citizens!


It's almost time for our FIRST MAJOR UPDATE! The Livestock Update goes live on January 30th!

This update includes new features such as fire, mortars, and our first farmable livestock buddy, Woolies! There are also a bonkers amount of changes that we have made to the game based on everyone's feedback and suggestions!

We'll have a full list of patch notes once the Livestock Update goes live, but here's a look at major new features and changes.

The Woolie


Woolies will be the first farmable livestock creature added to the game! These fluffy little buddies will have their own little hay feeders and cute little barn for when they are not in their gigantic evil mutated forms causing devastating damage to everyone around them. If you give them a lil boop they'll also follow you around which was a bug, but it was really cute so now we made it a feature thanks Eden.



Fire & Mortars


Your chaos playthrough also gets an upgrade with the addition of fire, fire bombs, mortars and powder kegs! Fire bombs can be used against structures, which will cause the buildings to smolder and eventually catch on fire. While you get put out the fires like a good Monarch you can also stand around and watch everyone around you burn for fun!



New Buildings


BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! We have nine new structures such as the Washhouse, Well, Mortar Tower, Woolie Barn and mooooooore!

With the new buildings and other new content, there will be an expansion of the research tree.



New Workers


New structures require new workers with specialty skills. In the Livestock update you'll be able to add the Gong Farmer, Soaper, Launderer, Cannoneer, and Weaver to your list of citizens to manage, or throw into the sun.



Tool Tips


Let's get more clarity into the game! Overthrown will now have tool tips that appear to help you understand how to use items in the game. This will improve your gameplay experience while we continue working on a full tutorial.

Here's a reminder of our Early Access roadmap.




Thank you again to everyone for all your feedback and suggestions! Let's keep making this goofy little game together!
