The update should be up tomorrow, there is one last feature we need to finish.



Now a wild version of every crop will be able to spawn randomly, each has a specific biome and time period for spawning and only do so once per year.
Wild crops have a significant stamina cost to harvest and have a much lower yield than cultivated ones, they also have lesser quality, the quality penalty can be negated by leveling the Forage skill.
Seeds from these wild crops always have the "Wild Plant" negative trait and the quality of other traits is based off your Forage skill.

This will add a lot of variety and color to the world as well as a new activity in Foraging, which was already possible with the new forage-only plants we added previously, but now you can expect to always have something different to harvest in the wild.

We are also making King-sized fish (these are fish with maximum size for their species) a lot more common, so you will be able to enjoy harder fights and have an easier time filling your fish collection.



There are a bunch of other smaller changes like Catarina shops no longer closes during noon to 2 PM and carps now jump, but these you will be seeing in the patch notes as soon as the update drops.

We will keep trying to make smaller patches like this for the following months, releasing something every 1 or 2 weeks, in the plans for following updates are Starvation, being able to choose your starting day and Mining rocks with the Mining pick as a new tool.

This week we have been busy bugfixing, but we also managed to finish the base of the survival mode, the update will be dropping today after a few more small bugfixes.



Survival mode has no freebies (you start with only tools and 100g), no tutorial and an infinite debt that increases exponentially every week, but in exchange you get a score at the end of your run based on your performance.

If you fail to pay the debt the run ends, you get scored and can continue playing in Sandbox, you can no longer increase your score unless you load an older save from before the gameover or start a new playthrough.

For those who like the relaxing no-pressure gameplay we had before it is still available in Sandbox mode, nothing changed there, except you now begin with some extra building materials so you can make a small house from the very start.

Next week we will be finishing up the Forage system by adding a wild version of crops to the system, so you will be able to see wild turnips and carrots growing randomly.
