[h3]Improvements[/h3]
  1. [p]Clearer Crafting Material Requirements[/p][p]Crafting and cooking now show the total number of items required based on how many you plan to make.

New Updates v0.4.43: Employee Storage, Gym Training, and Fishing Update

[p]Hi everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹[/p][p]We have just released a new update for Cropia! Recently, many of you shared feedback about cluttered items around the house, the need for more meaningful training options, and clearer information for fishing objectives. This update focuses on improving how employees deliver harvested items, adding a new stamina training in the gym, and refining fishing locations and objective information.[/p][p][/p][p]Here is what is new in this update:[/p]
  1. [p]Storage Commodity for Employee[/p][p]To reduce clutter around your house, we have added a new storage that your employees can use as a drop-off point.[/p]
    • [p]A new storage box has been added next to your house, which employees will use to place harvested items. This helps keep the area around your home tidy instead of scattered with items.[/p][p]
      [/p]
    • [p]The storage has 30 item slots. When it is full, employees will place additional items outside the box as before.[/p][p]
      [/p]
    • [p]You can move items from this storage into your bag or on-hand inventory whenever you are ready to organize or sell them.[/p]
    • [p]Any items that have been harvested and are located outside the employee storage box will be automatically collected after load game process as long as there are slots available.[/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel]
    [p][/p]
  2. [p]New Training in the Gym[/p][p]We want training at the gym to feel more impactful for your daily routine.[/p]
    • [p]A new training type has been added at the gym that increases your stamina regeneration speed.[/p][p]
      [/p]
    • [p]You can pay a fee to perform this training, helping you recover stamina more quickly and stay active longer during the day.
      [/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p]
[h3]Improvements[/h3]
  1. [p]Feed Storage Bin Behavior
    Employees who finish feeding and still carry leftover feed will now correctly return it to the Feed Storage Bin, as long as you already own one.[/p]
  2. [p]Crab Fishing Location Fix
    Crabs are now properly classified as seawater creatures. Going forward, Crabs can no longer be obtained in Lakes and will only be found in beach areas.[/p]
  3. [p]Updated Squid and Octopus Objectives
    Objective information related to Squid and Octopus has been updated to better reflect their correct behavior and locations, making it easier to understand what you need to do to complete those tasks.[/p]
[p]
Thank you so much for being part of Cropiaโ€™s journey. Your feedback, reports, and suggestions continue to help us refine systems, improve clarity, and make daily life in Cropia feel smoother and more enjoyable.[/p][p][/p][p]We will keep listening, improving, and growing together with you.

New Updates v0.4.34: Livestock Feed Storage, Sickle Improvements, and More

[p]Hi everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹ [/p][p]We have just released a new update for Cropia! Over the past days, we received several reports and suggestions about animal care, old plants that are hard to clear, and information that felt unclear. This update focuses on making livestock feeding more convenient, refining how the sickle works, and improving in-game information so it is easier to understand what to do next.[/p][p][/p][p]Here is what is new in this update:[/p][p] [/p]
  1. [p]Livestock Feed Storage
    Feeding your animals should feel smoother and less repetitive, so we have added a new way to store and manage feed. [/p]
    • [p]You can now purchase a Feed Storage Bin at the Ranch Shop.[/p][p]
      [/p]
    • [p]The Storage Bin can hold Basic Feed that you have bought, keeping it in one convenient place.[/p][p]
      [/p]
    • [p]Employees can take Basic Feed directly from the Feed Storage Bin and use it to refill the feeding stations in your animal pens, reducing the need for you or employee to carry feed from different area. [/p][p]
      [/p]
  2. [p]Sickle Improvements for Old Plants
    Removing old plants should be quick and safe, even when you upgrade your tools.[/p]
    • [p]The Sickle can now be used to cut old plants.[/p][p]
      [/p]
    • [p]Do not worry about damaging your other crops. The Sickle will only target old plants, even if it has been upgraded and has a larger area of effect. Other plants will not be affected when you clear old ones.[/p][p]
      [/p]
  3. [p]Better In-game Information
    We received many comments about not knowing where to find certain items or what some things are used for. To help with this, we have improved information in several places:[/p]
    • [p]Objectives that ask for specific items now provide clearer hints about where to find those items.[/p]
    • [p]Animal information has been updated so it is easier to see which animal pen each animal lives in.
      [/p][carousel][/carousel]
    • [p]Several items now include clearer descriptions that explain what they are used for, helping you understand their function in your daily routine.[/p]
[p][/p][h3]Improvements[/h3]
  1. [p]Building and Fatigue Fix
    We have fixed an issue where the game could become stuck if the player reached fatigue while building. During building mode, running is now disabled, so your character will walk instead. This prevents fatigue from triggering in the middle of the building process.
    [/p]
  2. [p]Fixed Disappearing Items in Hand
    An issue where commodities or animal house boxes held in the playerโ€™s hand could suddenly disappear has been resolved. Items in your hand should now remain safe while you play.
    [/p]
  3. [p]Clarified Stats Calculations
    The calculations in the Stats menu have been clarified. The total now clearly indicates that it counts items from on-hand, bag, item storage, and refrigerator.
    [/p]
  4. [p]Clarified Crafting and Kitchen Counts
    The Crafting and Kitchen menus have also been clarified. These menus now make it clear that they only count items from on-hand and bag, and do not include items stored in item storage or the refrigerator. This should make it easier to understand which materials are available when you want to craft or cook.[/p]
[p][/p][p]Thank you so much for being part of Cropiaโ€™s journey. Your feedback, reports, and suggestions play a very important role in helping us refine systems, improve balance, and add useful quality of life changes. [/p][p][/p][p]We will keep listening, improving, and growing together with you. [/p][p]Happy playing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’›[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

New Updates v0.4.27: Renting Vehicle Improvements, Livestock Visuals, and More

[p]Hi everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹ [/p][p][/p][p]We have just released a new update for Cropia! Your feedback over the past weeks has been incredibly helpful, and this version focuses on refining several systems based on what you shared. This update brings improvements to the Renting Vehicle system, enhanced livestock visuals, and a variety of quality of life changes to make your adventure in Cropia smoother and more enjoyable. [/p][p][/p][p]Here is what is new in this update:[/p][p] [/p][h2]1. Renting Vehicle Improvements[/h2][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p]Several updates have been made to make vehicle renting more convenient and easier to manage. [/p][p]๐Ÿšœ Renting Vehicles will remain in their last position on the next day as long as they are not submerged. You still need to pay the daily rent, but this allows you to park the vehicle near your home and continue using it the following day without returning to the store.[/p][p]๐Ÿšœ A new Reset Vehicle request is now available by interacting with the table counter inside the Vehicle Store. This will return your rented vehicle to the front of the store for a small fee.[/p][p]๐Ÿšœ Your vehicle now appears on the map so you will not lose track of where you parked it. [/p][p]๐Ÿšœ A new Vehicle Steering option has been added. This setting allows you to choose whether or not to enable camera steering using the mouse. By default, this option is enabled, but you can easily adjust it in the settings menu to suit your preference.[/p][p][/p][h2]2. Livestock Visual Updates[/h2][p][/p][p]๐Ÿ‘ Sheep are now fluffier and more visually expressive, making it easier to see when they are ready for shearing.[/p][p][/p][p]๐Ÿ„ Animals that produce harvestable products such as wool or milk will now display a product icon when they are ready to be collected. [/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p]
Improvements
  1. [p]Improved Interaction Rules with Employees inside Animal Pens [/p][p]We have fixed an issue where the player could get stuck when performing tasks together with an employee. If an employee is working inside an animal pen, such as harvesting eggs, the player can only perform different tasks in the same pen, for example refilling the feeding station.[/p][p][/p]
  2. [p]Storage Upgrade Information[/p][p]When interacting with a locked storage slot, the game now displays information about where storage upgrades can be purchased.[/p][p][/p]
  3. [p]Updated Refrigerator Storage List[/p][p]The list of items that can be stored in the refrigerator has been updated to reflect the correct items.[/p][p][/p]
  4. [p]Fixed Player Orientation in Buildings[/p][p]The playerโ€™s facing direction is now correct when entering buildings. The previous issue where the player faced away from the door has been resolved.[/p]
[p]
Thank you so much for being part of Cropia's journey. We truly appreciate every feedback, report, and suggestion from the community. Your input plays a key role in helping us refine systems, improve balance, and bring new ideas to life.

We will continue to listen, improve, and grow together with you.
Happy playing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’›

New Updates v0.4.20: New Pets, Tool Tier Settings, and More!

[p]Hi everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹ [/p][p]We have just released a new update for Cropia! Since the Early Access launch, we have continued listening closely to your feedback and suggestions. This update brings new pet options, adjustments to tool tier handling, and several quality-of-life improvements to make your farming adventure smoother and more enjoyable.[/p][p][/p][p]Here is what is new in this update: [/p][p] [/p]
1. New Pets
[p][/p][p]You can now choose from three new pets at the beginning of the game or adopt them later through the Pet & Care Shop. [/p][p]By going to Pet & Care Shop and complete the adoption process (after entering the petโ€™s name), your pet will be placed in a box in your hand or bag, as long as there is an available slot. If no slot is available, the box will be placed near the counter table instead.[/p][p]Bring this box to your farm and deploy the Pet House at the spot you want. Once the Pet House has been deployed, your new pet will also become available.[/p][p]
What will you with this new feature: [/p][carousel][/carousel]
  • [p]๐Ÿพ Each pet now has a unique Pet House based on its species.[/p]
[p][/p]
  • [p]๐Ÿพ All pets can be adopted, and you can own multiple pets at the same time.[/p]
  • [p]๐Ÿพ Only one pet can follow you at a time. Pets that are not following will stay at their own Pet House. [/p]
  • [p]๐Ÿพ Every pet now provides a unique type of gift, giving each companion a special identity and benefit. [/p]
[p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p] [/p]
2. Toggle Tool Tier
[p][/p][p]With tool upgrades available in Cropia, we received feedback that players sometimes want to return temporarily to a lower tool tier for certain situations. A new toggle has been added to switch between higher and lower tool tiers freely. [/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p]Default Controls:[/p]
  • [p]Keyboard: P[/p]
  • [p]Gamepad: X[/p]
[p]This gives you more flexibility when managing your farming workflow.[/p][p][/p]
3. Automatic Merge During Quick Move
[p][/p][p]Quick Move actions will now automatically merge items into slots with matching items. This helps keep your inventory clean and reduces manual sorting. [/p][p][/p]
4. Updated Access Information
[p][/p][p]The notification for inaccessible areas inside the Cave and maximum upgrade on Blacksmith has been updated with clearer information. This allows players to understand better the condition of current version and which areas are currently unavailable in current the Early Access version. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Thank you so much for being part of Cropia's journey. We truly appreciate every feedback, report, and suggestion from the community. Your support helps us refine systems, improve balance, and develop new ideas for future updates. [/p][p]We will continue to listen, improve, and grow together with you.
