Hey guys, New Patch is live ;)
Thank you so much for your patience, we hope that many issues have bene fixed with this update and we are working on next fixes right now!
We have been gradually hotfixing our game across last week and we didn't want to spam you too much with too frequent announcements. Since last update we have pushed 1 bigger and 3 smaller patches and you can see full list of changes below.
New release date
Unfortunately we have to move our release date by one week to make sure we can provide you with better experience and make sure everything works as intended. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
New Release Date is 17th March 2022.
We are extremely excited about upcoming weeks and we hope that you are too!
Please note that we are already working on the next patch and we will continue to support this game after full release. In addition to hard mode and new improved undergrounds we will be adding a big patch that will bring fishing to this game! No worries though - no Fish will be hurt in the process! ;)
More info coming soon after full release!

We are still working on vanishing farm bugs and we have most likely found a solution, additionally we will write a new script that will automatically restore all your stuff if it disappears without your interactions so this problem should be fixed entirely in following days.
Thanks and see you later this week with another update!
