Friday Progress Report 349
Frederick has been added to the game, he is one of the original founders of Edengrall, but only took a minor part in the town's creation and did not join the founder expedition which led to their disappearance because he has health issues.
He dedicates his life to his research and is quite hard to befriend, but he offers good rewards for quests.
While adding him to the game we were checking which parts of the process are easily moddable and how much work would be needed to add a new character.
Unfortunately everything related to the NPC living quarters, and their responsibilities is hard to mod because it requires modifying the main scene, adding furniture, changing the objects that determine zones and jobs.
So about 85% of the process is easily moddable, but there is a final part that would require messing with the main scene and would cause compatibility issues when modding, we will need to overhaul this eventually when we have some more time.
We are working right now on changing how the game records time to fix a bug that happens in very long games (after winter) and we are adding the ability to choose the starting day and the randomseeds that generate forage and critters.
