[h3][✹v0.11 is in development and will be available at the end of 2024!✹][/h3]

[h2]Hi Researchers![/h2]

I've been hard at work on our next update (v0.11) ✍ Since this is the final planned major update (before the 1.0 update and release!), I've taken some time working on optimising the game where I can. This should address some of the feedback regarding the game slowing down during very long play sessions.

In more exciting news, I've added the Greenhouse and Trowel tool into the game!

[h2]Greenhouse đŸŒ±[/h2]
The Greenhouse allows researchers to plant crops all year round without being bound by the seasons! Certain crop requirements, such as Sun/Shade, are also automatically met when grown in the greenhouse.
  • Greenhouses can only house researched crops!
  • You can build multiple Greenhouses - just look for Theo at his shop to get one :)


[h2]Trowel 🌿[/h2]
Our 8th and final tool, the Trowel, will be sold by Alfie in this upcoming update! This tool has multiple functions, some of which has been suggested by players. The Trowel can:

1) Show crop details - at the Copper tier, the Trowel can show crop details and requirements. This is a little QOL that players can work towards fairly early in the game!


2) Transplant Crops - crops can be moved from one tilled tile to another. Note that crop requirements will still be checked even after transplanting!


3) Dig certain spots in the Mines - at the Iron tier, the Trowel can dig certain marked spots in the Mines! These spots hide special items and sometimes, secret floors:
A gem cave floor is something that I've been wanting to add for a long time! Look at it đŸ„°âœš I think it'd be exciting when players find them!

[h2]What's next 📝[/h2]
This wraps up the 'Greenhouse' portion of the v0.11 update! The other major content and features for this update are:
  • All NPC Orange Heart Events
  • House Upgrade 2
  • Shimmers (rare, variant creatures)
  • Greenhouse (COMPLETE!)


As usual, I'm always looking forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions!

Cheers,
