Thanks for all of the feedback from the last demo. With it being so early in development, feedback is super important. So, please keep giving feedback in the Steam forums and on the discord!
Anyway, here's a list of updates to the demo (and there's plenty more to come):
QoL
- Worker menu - click the worker icon to rearrange all workers
- Added resource menus - click on any resource icon to see where you are gaining/losing each resource
- You can also return cards to your hand by pressing escape
- When placing fish, the fishing platform will show its range
- When placing rocks, the goldmine will show its range
- When placing trees, the foragers and lumberjacks will show their range

Balance
- Added a base rate of gold for 1st ascension level
- 1 turn cards (Whole Lotta Wood, Windfall etc) now last until the start of your next turn (so you can use Windfall to buy things at harvest)

- Small palisades (the 1 and 2 tile versions) are rarer than the 4 tile versions

- Increased the likelihood of drawing a forest or land card early on in the harvest if you have 2 or less of them
- Increased the likelihood of drawing a rockfall and fish card if you have 1 or 0 of them
- Replaced the different shapes of fish cards with a single card that will place 3-5 fish within a range (so long as there are enough empty tiles, otherwise it will just place as many as it can)
- Earthquake now does 3 damage to your buildings instead of destroying them
- Added ‘Wet’ as a keyword (wet enemies take double damage from electrical attacks)
- Heavy rain now also applies +2 wet to enemies
- Lightning base damage reduced to 3 but will do 6 damage to wet enemies
- Increased the range on heavy rain
