📖 Mini-Devlog #5
[h3][✨Update v0.3 is in development and will go live in early July!][/h3]
Hi Researchers! We have some exciting news about what's upcoming for Research Story - the v0.3 automation update! Development has been going well and we're happy to say that some of the items that players have been waiting for will be added to the game soon. Here's what we've been working on:
[h2]Sprinklers and Sun Sprinklers! 💧[/h2]
We hear you - an important part of farming sims is having to manage your crops more efficiently (and do away with too much watering!). We'll be adding three tiers of sprinklers that players can craft and buy to help with their farms:
Unique to RS, these sprinklers can be built with Sun Lamps on the same tile, allowing for a cleaner setup for crops that require Full Sun. We'll be adding two new tiers of Sun Lamps as well!
[h2]Bell Tool for herding creatures 🔔[/h2]
After taming multiple creatures, having to bring them out and sending them back to their pens can become tedious. The bell tool is perfect for herding your creatures - ring the bell and send your creatures back to their pens! This tool can be upgraded, just like all other tools in the game.
[h2]Auto-collector for Creature Pens 📦[/h2]
Another item that we're adding is the Auto-collector. Place them next to Creature Pens, and it'll collect creature drops and produce daily, adding it to its inventory of 32 slots. To collect the goods, you can access its inventory with just one click!
[h2]New Shop: Alfie's Awesome Automations ⚙️[/h2]
The above items will be available at the newly added Alfie's Awesome Automations. The shop is located to the south of the Smithy in town, where a newcomer will be settling in:
[h2]What's Next 📝[/h2]
Next, I'll be working on: Auto-tapper for trees, Auto-fisher, and Bait Maker. We also plan to add a few Decor Sets, as well as additional content, OSTs, and other improvements. We estimate that the v0.3 update will be shared with players early next month.
Happy to hear what you think of the upcoming changes, and what you'd like to see us work on next!
