[h3]Hey Vikings! [/h3]
Hope you're enjoying the spooky season. To celebrate, we've been dealing with some spooky bugs and added a wide array of improvements to start the new month, and to warm up for the next major update. These are a few of the highlights from this update:
[h3]Creepy Caves[/h3]
We've decorated the caves for the spooky season, you'll now notice that most of the rooms have new crawler veins spreading throughout. Expect further improvements to the cave! Oh, and since we've spent the time decorating, we also added some treats alongside the tricks, so we've also added new iron deposits in the rooms.
Basically mines are now richer and spookier!
[h3]Increased Vehicle Carry Capacity[/h3]
We're slowly trying to make long-distance transporting a more and more viable tool, and a first step in this direction is increasing cart and sled capacity so that Markets are now a much powerful mechanic when compared to simple "cartless" villagers. So go on and enjoy all that new trunk space!
[h3]Villager Improvements[/h3]
Villagers have received quite a few improvements in this patch, including some dearly needed fixes to the way they use doors or how they refer to marker ranges. We're still working on making warehouse and workshop workers.
[h3]User Interface Improvements![/h3]
We didn't stop at decorating the caves, our UI also received some more love. A lot of the buttons and windows have been standardized, for a much slicker look, and we've also added in a host of little details and textures to make the whole thing feel tighter and richer. Hope you'll enjoy the new look!
These have been some of the highlights, you can check out the full changelog below. Thanks again for all the feedback and apologies for the issues that are taking longer to fix. Be assured, the Sailors never sleep!
Also trees don't regrow. Yet.
