Today's build includes a bunch of bug fixes from issues reported to me by the community.

• You can now move the Gazebo after placing it.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the Orc Hideout to not complete properly after killing all of the monsters.
  
• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused ore deposits in caves to not give ore.
  
• Fixed a bug with placing the Ratman head trophy.
  
• Fixed a typo in the text that tells you to use the metalworker's furnace. It was saying to press ESC when it should have said to use the interact key.
  
• Fixed a bug related to tracking ore deposits in caves you already visited but didn't complete.

Tonight's build includes a couple of fixes.

Today's build includes a new quest, a new structure, some improvements to the jump mechanic, and some other small tweaks.

Find the carpenter's missing saw and unlock the gazebo! This quest unlocks after you place a Carpenter. If you already have one, the quest will become available when you load your save.

Gazebos can be placed in the town and add a beauty buff to nearby homes.

Added a new UI to let you know when you've unlocked a new structure. Added this to the Sunflower Garden as well.


This build also includes:

• A large overhaul of jumping to fix some bugs and smooth it out.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the player to float if a block was attempted while the character was still in the air.
  
• Fixed some areas of caves and mines that allowed the camera to clip through.

Working on quests that unlock new structures has been a lot of fun. I'm thinking about adding quests to unlock some of the existing structures too. I think it ties the questing and the town together nicely!

Today's build adds some more functionality to controller support. These got missed when I did my controller support update a while back.

• You can now use the controller to select a Dwarf after placing a house.
  
• You can now use a controller to paint roads with the road painting tool.
  
  • Press Y button to toggle the road painter (requires Stonemason)
    
  • Press and hold A button to add road.
    
  • Press and hold B button to remove road.
    
  • Moving the d-pad with either button to mark where to paint.
    
  • Release button to paint road or remove road on the terrain.
• Pop-up text will appear for skills and inventory items when selecting them with a controller.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused popup text to appear behind some UI elements
