Hey everyone!
The first of several big updates is here! This March update includes several new languages, outpost upgrading, some UI improvements, building tooltips, and many bug fixes and small balancing changes.
We are currently almost finished with implementing camera orbiting into the game. We will have it ready within the next few weeks. Some of the changes are already implemented, build and edit mode now uses camera orbiting with the right mouse button/right thumb stick, and the screenshot camera controls have been overhauled too.
WASD and Mouse controls are now easier to switch between with a new settings menu option to toggle between both control schemes.
Enjoy the patch notes, they are pretty long!

+ New Features
- Outpost upgrading added. All outposts now are cheaper to buy and can be upgraded to level 3, increasing their production & mining new resources, as well as making the harvest moon attacks more difficult
- Updated inventory resources layout & design (getting ready to add a bunch more resources in the Frozen Lands update)
- New building tooltips that show why you can't place a certain building piece, such as not enough support, must be on a foundation, not enough resources to build, etc.
- Halfway through the camera overhaul to allow orbiting. The camera is still fixed, but the build/edit mode camera now has free orbiting with the right mouse, and screenshot mode camera controls are overhauled. (The orbit controls in build/edit mode will be the same orbit controls we are about to allow during normal gameplay soon)
- Added windmill and water pump UI, and made only relevant farming connections show when interacting with farming constructs
~ Balancing & Small Changes
- Edited Peaceful mode settings to allow enemies to attack the player, but at a reduced rate of 10% damage.
- Made beds easier to place
- Lowered the cost to upgrade the first town board so it's doable before the backpack upgrade
- Lowered selling cost of anglerfish from 25 to 15 coins
- Lowered damage from dungeon lightning towers from 20 elemental damage to 10 elemental damage
