In today's update, we're adding a new town building, the town hall, that will allow you to purchase new land and travel to it.
This feature requires a signficant change in the save file format, so we're releasing it in a beta branch so people can opt-in for testing before pushing it to the main branch.
If no important issues are found, we'll probably publish the update to everyone on Monday.
Beta Branch instructions:
In order to join, from the Steam library, right click on the game->properties->Betas and select the Beta branch.
While the change should be smooth and we don't expect important errors, we recommend joining the beta branch only if you have a backup or are aware of the risk of damage to your save file.
It's not recommended to switch back to the public branch once you've joined the beta. This may cause data loss.
How to backup your save:
While the game automatically creates backups of your farms and other save data from time to time, and we don't expect a catastrophic save data loss, you may want to keep another one just in case. The easiest way is to go to settings->support->browse log files and creating a zip file of the "SteamStorage" folder.

- Added Town Hall, where you can purchase new land and travel to it.
