CHANGED: Completely overhauled the watering system
- Should behave much more consistently
- Can water two plants at the same time if they are close together
- Any plant directly in front of bun will be watered
- Walking away from a pot doesn’t automatically stop you watering
- Can hold down the use button to continually water while walking
- Note: Can now spray in a continuous circle, drench your fellow buns, or add water to Lake Carrot just for funsies
CHANGED: Tiny pots of all varieties now have a smaller grid system
- For example, the small wooden table can now hold four tiny pots
- Makes having tiny pots more viable
- Looks much better without necessary large spaces between tiny pots
- Great for displaying lots of cute sprouts in one area or for condensing a bunch of starter seeds underneath pipes for consistent watering of many plants
CHANGED: Significantly decreased the universal rate at which plants decay (down to 40% of original decay value)
CHANGED: Sell spot is now only visible if you are carrying a plant or a pot that has a plant in it
CHANGED: Buns can now walk through seed packets on the ground
CHANGED: Mailbox has a clearer message regarding crates near the road when starting the game and going through the mini intro tutorial
CHANGED: Mailbox now says “Can’t Use” when trying to access before starting mini tutorial
CHANGED: Changed only certain allowable keys for players entering the game or at the title screen
- On gamepad: bottom face button (A on xbox controller)
- On keyboard: space
- Note: gamepad right face button (B on xbox controller) still leaves game
CHANGED: Color of water droplets above pots to a lighter blue
CHANGED: Use button context above bun no longer shows “water plant” while bun is actively watering
CHANGED: Reduced maximum time between songs
CHANGED: Dirt quality names to make plant happiness more transparent
- Originally fantastic, great, okay, terrible
- Changed to fantastic, okay, bad, terrible
CHANGED: Dirt quality now has a color associated with it if it isn’t fantastic (again, for more transparency regarding why a plant is happy/unhappy
CHANGED: Yoga mats are now more predictable in how they are interacted with (closest available yoga mat is always chosen now, not most recently stepped on)
CHANGED: Use button descriptor more readable
- Changed color to white and added black outline
- Gets larger as the camera gets farther away (to see from a distance)
CHANGED: In a previous update, I changed how the snapping point was calculated (to put it in front of the bun more)... this turned out to be way more trouble than it was worth for objects larger than 1x1. Therefore, larger objects have been reverted to use the old snap system and small 1x1 objects are still using the updated one. The snap system is much more consistent now and behaves more as you would expect, at the cost of the bun sometimes clipping into larger objects when placing them down.
