This is the fifth post in the series of core features in Farm Together 2. Today we're talking about Housing and the jobs we can do inside our home!
While the housing system remains very similar to the one in the first Farm Together, there's a few changes that should improve the overall experience, so check them out!
Building houses
Building a house is a serious business! It will take a big amount of cash and resources, and it's done in several stages taking some time to complete.
Despite that, building a house is still faster compared to the first game, where it could take almost a week to build! Now a house could be completed within the day depending on our activity.
Entering our house
Once the construction is complete, we can finally go inside our house! Initially it will be almost empty, but with time and resources we'll be able to decorate it to our liking!
We can fully customize the looks of buildings and furniture, to give the house our own personal touch. From the color and style of the floor and walls, which rugs to use, or even where to put our notepad!
Jobs
It's not just about decoration! Inside houses we can perform Jobs, such as Cooking or Painting. These are tasks that take time, money and resources, but you will reap more rewards once they're finished!
When starting a job, you can choose from a list of "recipes", each one with its own requirements, duration and number of steps.
Overall, Jobs work the same way as they did in the first Farm Together (at least for now), with two changes to make them more interesting:
- Now quests can request for Job recipes. For example you can be asked to paint a Painting or cook some food.
- Finishing a Job will now grant resources that can be used elsewhere (for example sell them, give it to townspeople requesting them, etc).
With these two changes, we're removing the separate "Tickets" currency, as it's not needed anymore.
On top of that, you can now put the results of your work for display inside the house!
More to come!
Our intention for houses in the future is to add more kinds of Jobs (Music, Pottery, Streaming...), that should incentivate the construction of more houses. We also want to add visitors/guests to them so your decoration skills are rewarded, and probably add different minigames to each Job.
We'll be listening to your suggestions for future jobs an ideas to improve the housing system!
