Hey everyone!
Thank you everyone for wishlisting and spreading the word about ACRES! It is great to hear all the interest. I've been busy working on a few updates as we get closer to release. We are still looking to confirm a date soon in Q4 2023.
Detailed Order Info
The order tickets now display additional detailed order information when hovered over with a mouse.
Keep track of the time remaining as well as each item progress in greater precision with highlighted number values.
Slower speed button
A new speed control button is also available. Along with the initial 1x, 3x & 10x buttons, the game speed can now be slowed down to 1/4x speed. The game design calls for some time to always progress, otherwise all issues could always be solvable. Depending on additional playtesting, this value may bump up to 1/3 or 1/2 in the future.
In a related matter, stress tolerances for all plants have also been increased. This will give players additional time to deal with soil issues should they arise.
Displayed Grow time
The total grow time for each crop is now displayed in the information panel. In this update, a few crops also received changes in their growth stages time.
Additional Updates
- Increased stress tolerances for all plants
- Removed additional placement costs for seed bins
- Right click icon changed
- User editable keyboard bindings for rotate camera control
- Added additional money during tutorial to cover fuel costs
Bugfixes:
- Delay on incoming order after loading a new game
- Compounding order values during sale
- Duplicated tractor barn costs
- Tractor control device blocking cell after removal
Thanks again for the support and interest in ACRES! We're very excited about the progress and can't wait for launch.
