V0.9.7 - Chests, Cobble Path, & Upgraded Trading
The next weekly update is here! After a few much needed patches centered on polishing the game, we finally had some fun introducing new features! 😄
[h2]🧰 Chests[/h2]
One of the most requested features is finally here: additional storage. This comes in the form of 4 new craftable items: wooden chest, iron chest, large iron chest, and a special chest which I’ll leave for you to discover! Different chests offer different amounts of storage, so you’ll have to work or trade your way up to the biggest ones.
[h2]🪨 Cobble path[/h2]
Something that was really missing from the game is the ability to create stone paths! With this, you can finally pave your towns in cobble, giving different spaces a fresh look and your town more visual variation in general. However, unlike the previous dirt path, this new option requires stone to build - varying based on the length of the path.
[h2]⚖️ Upgraded trading[/h2]
Trading is a really important mechanic that has not lived up to its full potential yet, so this update also aims to significantly improve it. Since villagers have limitless inventories compared to the player, the previous trading menu would only show a small subsection of their goods which would not be that helpful and was also confusing. Now, all of their items are shown, separated into pages, giving you insight and access into their entire inventory and actually making trading way more powerful. Furthermore, a small hint is now shown at the bottom to indicate it is just unique items that are shown.
