Patch 1.0.3 - Targeting in Combat, Crop Farming, Watchtower Events
[h2]Combat - Targeting[/h2]
We saw that many of you are not happy with the combat of the game. With this patch, we want to address one aspect of that: targeting.
Please be aware that this is the first of a series of improvements that we will make to combat, targeting and animations. We are not finished patching and adjusting.
[h2]Crop Farming[/h2]
We realized that the crop farming mechanic was not as meaningful as it should be and that in many cases it was not worth investing your resources into a garden. We want to change that with this patch.
[h2]Desert Watchtower Events[/h2]
We understood that some of you found the watchtower events tedious and we want to address that. The number of enemies that spawned was bugged and in some cases (the longer you pushed the button, the more enemies spawned). Therefore way too many enemies were spawned. Additionally, it was a bug, that it was necessary to loot enemies (which caused sanity to decrease).

We saw that many of you are not happy with the combat of the game. With this patch, we want to address one aspect of that: targeting.
- Controller: Drastically improved auto-aim for ranged weapons. You no longer target random bushes or trees - only enemies, wildlife, and bees.
- Mouse: When using a range weapon you can not accidentally click on a tree and shoot in a completely wrong direction anymore. Trees are no longer targeted while using a ranged weapon.
- Mouse: When using a melee weapon, trees are only getting targeted at the trunk (up to roughly 1,5x player height).

[h2]Crop Farming[/h2]
We realized that the crop farming mechanic was not as meaningful as it should be and that in many cases it was not worth investing your resources into a garden. We want to change that with this patch.
- Drastically reduces grow times for crops. They grow faster.
- Fertilizer and water hold for longer and they completely "fill" the garden with 1 use.
- Fertilizer and water have more impact on growth speed.
- Fertilizer and water now have an impact on the number of harvested crops.
- Sleeping in bed skips time and lets plants grow.

- The correct number of enemies spawn per watchtower event (2-3 enemies per wave).

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

- Workbench UI: Fixed closing animation.
