• [p]Fixed chat messages for distant messages (region chat) showing under the terrain.[/p]

[p]Hello everyone.

The patch released today brings our initial translations for French, German, Spanish, and Japanese. This first release is intended primarily as a test of our internal translation pipeline. We are fully aware that these translations are very preliminary, and we are committed to significantly refining them over the coming months until they meet an acceptable quality standard.[/p][p]We plan to address translation issues through two primary methods: by acting on feedback submitted directly to BitCraft Support and by implementing a crowdsourcing effort in the coming weeks.[/p][p]Once the French, German, Spanish, and Japanese translations are complete, our focus will shift to introducing translations for additional languages.To discuss translations, please visit the BitCraft Discord and navigate to the "Experimental System Discussions" category. You can submit feedback on translations via BitCraft Support.

[h3]New Gameplay Mechanic - Prospecting[/h3][p]You can think of prospecting as a mini treasure hunt to find a special resource. On its surface it's simple but it's very versatile for being used in many profession and skill gameplay. With the addition of this mechanic we'll be adding content for it to several professions, for example:[/p]

• [p]Prospecting for argent ore (Mining)[/p]
• [p]Searching for rare berserker mushrooms (Foraging)[/p]
• [p]Hunting for ancient relics (Scholar)[/p]

[p]This content becomes accessible through the abilities window once the level requirement is reached. But don’t worry, we’ll also be adding one with no level requirements as a part of the holiday content![/p][p][/p][p]Prospecting was designed with cooperation in mind, and can benefit slightly from doing it in a group. The resources found through prospecting can only be interacted with by those who participated in the hunt. [/p][p]We’re planning to add more quality of life and visual polish to this in the future so let us know what you think.
