Seeds of Calamity News

[p]Hello! Today I’m here to announce the first official content update for Seeds of Calamity![/p][p] [/p][p]Introducing the Sky Pheasant and Wooly Boar! Starting in Year 2, talk to Finn to purchase these new adorable farm animals. They can be housed in the existing pens but keep in mind that each pen can only hold 4 animals.[/p][p][/p][p]Refine Wool and Fur with the Spinning Wheel! You can now refine the wool you get from Snowtop Sheep and Wooly Boars to make it more valuable in the same way that Pickling Vessels work for Rock Hen Eggs (and now Sky Pheasant Eggs!).[/p][p]But how can you get your hands on this new device? Keep an eye on your mailbox! Once you have repaired the Ritual Stone on the farm and have purchased your first Snowtop Sheep, you will receive a letter from Yri who has an interesting book for you… [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]New Egg, New Recipes! With the new Sky Egg animal product, comes new cooking recipes! You can now purchase the Poached Eggs recipe during the Rock Hen Carnival. And after buying your first Sky Pheasant, Helena will want a word with you…[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]View Shrine Offerings from Anywhere! You can now view all shrine offerings from your Journal menu in the Achievements section.
[/p][p] [/p][p]New Adorable Companion! With this update I have also added a new companion type: Snowtop Sheep. You can change your companion at any time by using the mirror in your farmhouse.  [/p][p]Thank you for all your feedback and I hope you enjoy this new content.
