Hey YO everyone! Stapleton here.
[h2]Expanded Tutorial System![/h2]
Latest patch adds an expanded tutorial system in the form of POPUP tips about certain things in the game when you interact with said things!
- If you are like me and like to bypass tutorials, fear not! Simply turning off the tutorial in Menu::System Options::General tab will seize all tutorial popups!
- To manually pop these up for more information, go to the Informational Tab in the System Options!
- These prompts give at MOST 5 descriptive values about the mechanic or system at hand.

[h2]QoL changes[/h2]
A swath number of QoL changes in this patch including:
- Utilizing Farm Inventory WHILE crafting!
- Disabled monster invasion and insect swarm to new characters less than 5 days old.
- 2 Recipes are now rewarded to you per achievement completed!
- Current Renown and Karma is listed in the Player tab in the Main Menu!
- Grass tile can now remove TILLED land!
- Crops are better checked for if they are watered when zoning in!
- Speed at which one crafts in crafting is sped up by 4X! FOUR TIMES FASTER!

And of course a number of technical issues have been addressed.
- Fishfest incidentally saying Day of Resurrection! and not rewarding you.
- A storage bug.
- Story quest sometimes vanished.
- and a # of other issues.

Thank you guys for your continued interest!

A new piece of functional furniture for everyone to craft called a World Transformer!

Hope you all are enjoying Heavenly Acres and if you need anything LET ME KNOW!

[h2]This patch has core functions needed to build v1.10[/h2]
Many QoL changes in this patch as well
- Event jittering visual glitch has been fixed.
- A visual glitch caused by rain resulting in large water bubbles on screen has been fixed.
- Crops now visually blink blue when you successfully water them.
- Hi-resource items (Perfectly Cut Logs... Etc) has been added to regular harvesting with a 1% higher chance to get them with each level in your respective profession (botany, mining)
- 2 Achievements have been redesigned. The old ones were too difficult to get as they were dependent on a certain end to the story chapter. Now you will get the same achievement no matter which ending you get.
- Renown has been re-balanced for Misfit bounties.
- Sovereign has been balanced more.
- A couple bug fixes thanks to the help of some patient players! Thank you!
- Also balanced the Build Energy in professions!

[h2]What the heck is next, Stapleton??[/h2]
I will tell ya what is next. Misfits. Misfits. Misfits.
What is planned...
- Manage a tavern: Hire Misfits to help run the tavern for you. Stock up on beer and other beverages!
Misfits perform better the more relationship you have with them!
- Manage a Training Facility: Hire Misfits to take on "Missions" with your monsters that you do not have in your current setup! This brings back rewards AND levels up your monsters. The level they reach CANNOT surpass the highest level monster you own.
- More misfit backstories, dialog, and quests. Going to be adding a couple quests for EACH misfit.

Have any more suggestions you'd like to see me consider! Feel free to shoot some at me! I am going to keep it rather tangible as i've wanted to dish out content patches at MOST once a month.
Thank you!

To see how it feels, runs, and the basics of the game.

The content that lays in the game is built upon those mechanics!
