Happy new year! We are now starting work on the 0.79 version, the crop perk rework will change the progression to make it a lot more consistent and remove the inventory clutter from having hundreds of seed stacks.
The collections UI wll have a tab for allocating traits to each crop you know, these traits will automatically affect every seed of that type, so the seed stacks will only have star numbers from 0 to 5, this means the maximum amount of stacks for each seed is now 6, and there will be no advantage for keeping low star stacks, so technically you only need to keep the highest star stack.
Then we will add the survival elements like temperature, weather and food spoiling, and lastly we will finish the year leaving early access after expanding the map and improving the NPCs a bit.
We also have plans to add new characters.
