Hello everyone!
New patch! Today we're introducing a few more areas to the northern parts of the forest, a couple of new "plants" to further differentiate pine woods, and many fixes and balance tweaks as usual.
The highlights of the patch are:
Fly Agaric:
A new mushroom that can be found in pine areas. While toxic in its natural form, it can be made edible by boiling it or oven-dried to access its spiritual properties. It works as a cheaper alternative to spirit mushrooms that while more abundant, needs to be processed before it can be used.
Heather:
A new plant that can be found in pine clearings. Its flowers can be used to make a calming tea that helps with respiratory infections and will be loved by bees once they're introduced in the near future.
Additional Things:
Three new areas have been added to the bear territory, including a new pine clearing, grove and river bank.
Both springberries and billberries can now be properly grown in garden plots.
