Hello Mayors!
We’re so excited that our fourth Major Update: Spring Cleaning, is now available! We hunkered down and focused on quality of life improvements, and they include some pretty major ones that we know you all have been looking for! ✨ And with the Spring Sale kicking off, the game is now 20% off! ✨
You can check out the full patch notes here, but we’ve listed out some key ones below as well:
Personal Vehicle & Tools 🪚🚙 You can now store a tool and a vehicle in a patented TownCo Dimensional Pockets, allowing quick an easy access at a moments notice! Includes a new UI Widget to help track your currently stored items.
Town Info App ℹ️ Everything you want to know about your town - now in the palm of your hand! What fitouts you have, where your workers are, what shops need what food, housing, and more. It'll alert you when there's a problem (Mana Extractor is full, NPC is stuck trying to get where they want to go) too!
360° Camera Rotation 🔁🎥 You've asked for it, we've... put it as an experimental setting for you to rotate the camera 360°! Head to options and you'll be able to turn this on, and you can rotate to your heart's content. You can also increase the orbit a bit more horizontally for non-experimental play!
Rotate NPC housing 🔁🏘️ Build the apartment and housing blocks of your dreams. You can now rotate small houses and apartments in any direction you'd like! They also now have a visual indication if there's an empty spot to add a townie in
Animal Feed Refinement 🐄 Tired of those feed drops cluttering up your farm? No longer! We've added a new machine, the Automated Feed Maker, which generates feed over time, so you can have a farm for your animals with none of those pesky crops.
Trader Improvements 🛍️ We've got a few updates for the Traders, but first up: a new UI! You can purchase as many items as you want from available stock, can buy from their back catalog AND can see that there are items you have yet to collect!
Managed Stalls 🛒 You can now set up to 5 items on Market Stalls and Vending Machines for couriers to auto-deliver!
Music Updates 🎶 We've added new music AND now have multiple playlists you can choose from based on your vibe. Will you choose "Mega Mingle" "Lo-fi and Chill" or "Funk n Bop"? And if you're not vibing with a song, remove it entirely, or if you really like it, create a playlist of your favorites.
Light in Dark Spaces 💡 Fear caves and sewers no more - you'll have a light around you in dark environments to help show the way.
Text And Drive 🤳🏼 Wait no! Well, you can now access your phone while riding a vehicle or using a tool. Please use SlothOS responsibly
New food cart 🌮 Hungry? The new Tac-Oh! truck with its taco recipe is sure to give your tourists what they need.
Crab & Lobster Pots 🦀🦞 There's a new pot, the Lobster Pot, which only harvests lobsters. This means the normal Crab Pot will now only catch crabs (and has a snazzy new look). They'll take a bit more time now to harvest - but worth the wait!
…and much, much more:
Scooter 🛵 You saw it in the demo, it got removed and we didn't realize it (whoops!), but it's BACK - a scooter of your very own to import.
Infinite Seeds 🌱 Now your farmers are pulling their weight! Seeds are now infinite, and can be planted as many times as you want. Crops will now automatically reset after harvest too!
Weather Randomization 🌸☔️ Ironically, this means weather will now follow a more predictable pattern. Cherry Blossoms for all!
Fourth Worker Slot for Industries 👥👥 Put even MORE townies to work with a fourth slot now available for the Mining, Forestry and Fishing Zones
Customization & Color Palette Improvements 🎨 Even more things to be painted: bridges, garbage bins, and things in the park (swings, slide, lights, bench). We've also made the color palette tool even better, and you can cycle through colors in a swatch!
Key rebinding ⌨️ <100% keyboards, rejoice! There are even more bindable keys for player movement & camera controls
Alternative Milk 🫛 There are now non-dairy cheese and butter recipes for the Dairy Maker. Start planting your soy beans! We've also updated Challenge 04 to ask you to build a dairy maker instead of a cow stall, in case you don't want to build an animal farm at all.
New Exterior Visuals 🆕 A fresh coat of paint and adjustments on things. Rustic Picnic Table and Outdoor Settings are now dockable, car parks and bike racks have variants. You can now build in the Alien spawning zone. Four new channels to set the TV to. And more!
…and of course, we couldn’t help ourselves and added a few new decor items too!
Cheers,
Emily and the Prideful Sloth team
