v0.20.31 - Zooming, expeditions, improvements and fixes
To get this update, you have to opt in inside your library:
Necesse -> Properties -> Betas -> Select 0.20.x in dropdown.
It's recommended to back up your saves when playing on experimental version. Especially when loading a save using a newer version. You can do so in game on the load menu.
A quick reminder that there's an official Discord server, where you can post suggestions, bugs, or just talk with other players and the developer. Here's the invite link: https://discord.gg/FAFgrKD
Back from summer break, this weeks update is mostly focused on improvements and fixes. That being said it has also got some new features. Mainly the ability to zoom in and out. This feature took quite a bit of time since it required a lot of underlying (and much needed) changes.
The new explorer settler is now also able to go on expeditions. These are a way to pay to get some biome/area specific items instead of going to look for them yourself. It takes "kind of" a long time at the moment (5-10 minutes) and the balance is still being worked on. Later on, this can also be used to get some unique items only obtainable through the explorer.
Since being back from break, I'll start to put a lot of focus on the release of v0.20. This means there will be a bunch of work that won't show on these changelogs. Some of that includes new music, trailer, achievements, expanded platform support and the like that will likely be in the release of 0.20.
