Updated Crafting & Quality Materials

Greetings Shopkeepers! Today is the day we have been working towards for quite some time now (the original task was made in January 2020!), but we are finally here.




This week we are releasing the updated Crafting Menu, which includes some changes to the materials system. You can now buy, sell and farm quality materials!

[h3]Crafting Menu[/h3]

The crafting menu has been reworked to allow for quality crafting resources to be used. Using higher quality resources will increase the chance for a better outcome. Crafting progression has also been updated and you can now gain skill in a crafting category as well as skill in crafting a specific item.

[h3]Quality Trader Items[/h3]

Quality items, resources, and seeds can now be obtained from the trader.

[h3]Farming Menu[/h3]

Farming now has a menu where It is also possible to use quality seeds to improve the chance for a better harvest. As with crafting, you can now gain skill as a farmer and gain skill cultivating specific crops.


A harvesting animation has been added to better reflect what has been harvested.
