Welcome to the first of Camp Canyonwood's monthly content updates! This month we have been hard at work fleshing out three new unlockable regions, a request system for campers, new auto-storage, new foragables, and more!
New Features
Expandable Campgrounds
You'll find around the map there are now broken Ramps and Bridges leading to new locations. For the right price you can repair these broken down passageways and gain access to one of three brand new locations, Marriage Ridge, Jack's Bluff, and Overlook Island. These higher elevation areas grant access to scenic views and hiking trails, along with more historical landmarks to uncover!
Camper Requests
Campers now have the ability to make requests! Each request they make will last until the end of the day, and if fulfilled, will go towards increasing their camp rating! Requests include things like asking to be given certain tools or food, and if the situation calls for it, for you to help organize their inventories when full!
Storage Containers
To help campers better sort their findings, you can now purchase and build 5 different kinds of Storage Containers! The Fish Cooler, The Wood Pile, The Bug Terrarium, The Forage Basket, and The Mine Cart! As their names suggest, campers will automatically deposit resources of certain types into their appropriate storage containers should one be nearby. Things are about to get a whole lot more organized!
Mushrooms
There are now three different kinds of foragable mushrooms that can spawn in forested areas! One poisonous, the others cookable and delicious! Meadow Mushrooms, Morel Mushrooms and Deathcap Mushrooms can now be foraged, and will contribute to the Foraging Badge when picked.
(Note: Old saves may not generate mushrooms since the terrain populator only runs once at the start of a game.)

- Campers now drop items on the floor if a storage container/trash can is full when they try to use it.
