[p][/p][p]The sickle charge attack will now harvest all available harvestables in a tree if you hit the tree trunk with the slash, so you can get all fruit from a tree without having to hunt down hidden fruit within the leaves.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The sickle, lumberaxe, pickaxe, and hoe how have new particle effects and sounds to improve the tool use feedback[/p][p][/p][p]We are reviewing a few recipes, the one getting a big overhaul is the Syrup recipe, it will no longer require sugar or starch, these are now optional and it can be made entirely out of juice or the new Birch sap, it will also use the dry food algorithm, reducing the water content of the ingredients to increase their taste and nutrient concentration. The dry food algorithm was a bit bugged too (was increasing tastes way more than it should), so we fixed it.[/p][p]Also we are removing the generic sap item from the trees, instead of a generic crafting mateiral saps will be edible when possible, right now only Birch will give edible sap, later on there will be Maple for sweet goodness and Pine for non-edible, but useful resin, if you already have taken down trees and collected sap in your save just sell it to NPCs, it won't have any uses and the item will be deleted from the game later.[/p][p]There will be more small fixes and changes, the update should drop in 2 or 3 days.[/p]

Features:
Implemented tree saplings
Added Mango trees
Added Olive trees

Changes:
Cutting trees may give other items besides just wood, like sap.
Bilboards now cast shadows

[p]All the fruit trees are done, we are just finishing the saplings, there are two more bugs to fix, but once these are done we will release an update with the trees and the ability to plant them, maybe tonight or by Sunday.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]There are two ways to acquire saplings, the first is to catch a tree growing, within the first 3 days of a tree growth you can use the shovel to collect it.[/p][p][/p][p]The second way to get saplings is to chop down an adult tree (this part is bugged right now, we are working on it).[/p][p][/p][p]The last two trees are here! I went with new leaf textures for these (it was a ton of work, but worth it)[/p][p][/p][p]Olive trees fruit during late spring/early summer[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Mango trees fruit during mid summer[/p][p][/p][p]After this update we only need to finish a few more features to be done with the Trees, the axe charge attack, and allowing the sickle charge to mass harvest tree fruits.[/p]

[p]The work on tree planting is almost done, we should have all trees done and plantable by next friday![/p][p][/p][p]When planting a new tree you can see a ghost of the adult form and even rotate it[/p][p][/p][p]You must plant the tree on soil, getting too close to the road or too close to any other plant will block the placement[/p][p][/p][p]There will be no limits to the number of trees you can plant, and player trees will never die from old age like the wild ones do, but beaware, trees are a resource hog and we don't have time right now to try further optimizations.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Since last friday 5 new Trees have been finished, 2 are already ingame because we had an emergency patch done this week to fix a bug in character creation and since the trees were already done we added them in the patch, the other 3 will come out by next Friday when I finish the last 2 for a total of 5 new trees.[/p][p][/p][p]Avocado[/p][p]One of the large fruit trees, they take a full year to mature, but to compensate they have the biggest harvests, each singular avocado fruit weights 0.5kg (1.1 pound). Fruits during late summer. This is one of the two trees that are already in.[/p][p][/p][p]Fig[/p][p]Like the Avocado, this tree also takes a full year to mature, and to compensate it fruits twice a year! Giving fruits both in spring and autumn. This tree is also already ingame.[/p][p][/p][p]PearI have taken some artistic freedoms with the Pear tree, not only it is pear shaped, but I also gave it vivid autumn colors, it contrasts with the fruits making them very easy to spot. It fruits during late Autumn.[/p][p][/p][p]Peach[/p][p]Peaches fruit during early Summer[/p][p][/p][p]Almond[/p][p]Almond trees fruit during early Autumn.[/p]

Features:
Added Fig Trees
Added Avocado Trees

Fixes:
Fixed a bug that could softlock in the character creation screen
