Please check out our Steam page to wishlist the game and find out more: swg.gg/corstm
This month, we'll go over fences, outdoor decor, and meet the C.I.C!
Alpha v0.07 will launch on March 7 @ 11:59PM PDT.
Happy New Year (again!)
Happy lunar new year to those who celebrate!
Fences, Gates & Arches
Take a look at how fences, gates, and arches will work in the game!
Fences
Placing fences is super easy. Select the fence item on your hotbar, find an empty spot on your farmland and plot it down.
There are three different styles for how fences connect. We have the following from left to right: post on every tile fence, homogenous fence, and corner post fence.
Gates
Now that you've fenced an area, we need a way to get in and out. To place gates, find an empty spot between two fences, and place it. Voila, you now have a gate!
Good news, all styles of gates will work with any fence style.
Arches
Complete your decoration with arches! You'll be able to rotate them in 4 directions and place them anywhere on the tillable ground.
We're still developing the feature, but you'll be able to place half arches and make double-wide ones too. For a sneak peek of this, be sure to join our Discord here.
Community vote: add fence vaulting, or not
Last but not least, we're looking for feedback from the community. Do you want us to explore fence vaulting for the game? Please let us know your thoughts!
Outdoor Decor
We've been hard at work adding a variety of styles for your outdoor decoration needs.
Here's a sneak peek at the Mountain Cabin Outdoor Props. Let us know what other styles you want to see in the game!
Meet the C.I.C (Coral Island Current)
The Coral Island current is an underwater highway transporting various things to and from different parts of the ocean. It's located on the West side of the island.
[where's all the fish...?]
