Greetings, fellow brothers and sisters!
After a several weeks of intensive development, we’re now glad to present you with our latest content patch – fresh from the oven! But before we push this update to the default branch which would allow everyone play it, it needs to be tested as much as possible in order to prevent major bugs from ruining your game experience.
Those who join the Alpha branch will be able to try our current version, which might contain several undetected bugs and optimization issues, and help us polish it little by little. As a preliminary warning, please note that any progress linked to the Alpha version will corrupt your save files if you move to the Default branch again before the final update is released. If you're still interested in this option, follow the instructions below to switch the branch by yourself:
HOW TO JOIN THE ALPHA BRANCH OF IMMORTAL LIFE
Step 1: For your safety, start backing up your save files!
This is the most important step as the files of the Alpha branch that will be saved in your Cloud storage will replace those you saved locally, damaging them permanently in the process. To prevent this, disable the Cloud Saving feature and visit the following path to copy the folder with your local saves to another safe location in your computer. Don’t switch to the Alpha test before taking this step.
Save Path: [Steam Library Path]/common/一方灵田/SavesDir/[A folder with numbers in its name]
Step 2: Switch the branch from your Steam library
- Right-click Immortal Life in your Steam Library.
- Choose Properties…
- Choose BETAS tab in the Properties menu.
- Enter the code, zhongtian2022 and click Check Code.
- Click the select button and choose alpha – alpha test to activate the new branch.
- You want to switch back? No problem, click the drop-down menu again and choose none – it will take you back to the Default branch.
SOME NEW THINGS YOU WILL FIND IN THE TEST BRANCH
New content
- A new type of Irriwell you can use to water a 5x5 patch of soil.
- A brand-new watering system that works automatically 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. And the best part is, it doesn’t consume your MP — thank Wei Hong later! We also adjust the size of the watering equipment, so they won’t block your sight for checking the field.
