Meowllo!
Small patch to add in "Resource Spawning" options into the gameplay tab in the settings.
Now, you can control whether or not the resources (trees, grass, flowers, bushes, rocks, etc.) will respawn in the town or the farm separately. You can toggle these at any time.
Hopefully, this makes your dream island designs easier to work around!
As for how 0.9.4 is coming along, it's taking a while! There's a lot of things stuffed inside this quest update, so it's taking longer than expected.
There will be new quest types and ways to pass your days on the island, so I hope you can understand the wait!
