Hello, innkeepers!
The new update for Travellers is now available! It includes a revamp of the crop-growing system, a new way to unlock recipes, weather phenomena and a great deal of new content.

[h3]New crop system[/h3]
Now crops have specific seasons in which they can be planted. In addition, they need to be watered every 3 days for them to grow. The amount of time each crop takes to grow varies.
Fruit trees no longer need to be planted in tilled soil, don't require watering and they never die, although they only bear fruit during certain seasons.
[h3]Recipe Fragments[/h3]
This update introduces recipe fragments. These fragments are obtained as your reputation levels up. They can be exchanged for new recipes in the mysterious temple north of the tavern.
[h3]Weather Phenomena[/h3]
We have added weather phenomena. Depending on the season, there will be different chances of rain, thunderstorms, snow or wind. The weather will affect animals and crops. For example, if it rains, your crops will be watered. We have also added a toggle in the Options menu to disable lightning flashes.
[h3]Autosave[/h3]
From this update, when the player goes to sleep, the game will automatically be saved. It will no longer be necessary to select the game to overwrite the save.
[h3]New Content[/h3]
This update adds over 100 new recipes, 32 new crops and 2 new areas. We are still working on creating new areas and characters, which will be added in upcoming updates.
[h2]Other News[/h2]
Starting from January 21st, the price of Travellers Rest will be slightly increased. Over the course of Early Access, the game has leaped forwards in quality and content, which has meant more new team members and therefore, more production costs.
In any case, we wanted to let you know ahead of time so that any player who has been thinking about buying Travellers Rest can get it before the price increase takes place.
