Hello everyone!
The patch is finally here.
Let's go straight to the highlights:
Trader:
The trader will start appearing in the Green Glade on the second year, after the second week of spring and again after the second week of autumn.
He sells rye grains, salt and some other edibles and will be especially interested in buying cured skins, furs and leather from you (but will also accept some other things). He will of course pay more for higher quality things.
He can also accept requests once his trust is high enough, and will bring additional things on his next visits. Among these there are some (for now) unique items: such as fire strikers, copper knives and stone mortars and pestles.
The copper knife can be resharpened as usual, the fire striker is a much faster method of starting fires and the stone mortar and pestle is basically a small portable quernstone that while slower can produce high quality results.
Bread:
Rye flour can be used to make dough, just like acorn flour.
Rye dough can be used to make flatbread too, but it can also be mixed with eggs or fat to make eggbread or rye fat cakes respectively. One of its best things though is that it can be turned into sourdough by placing it in a fermenting bin.
Sourdough can be baked to make roundbread or a larger loaf of bread which keeps for longer and can be split into multiple pieces.
Ale:
Rye grains can also be malted (by first hydrating them and then dehydrating them) and then mixed with hot water to make wort. This wort can later be reduced into rye syrup or fermented into ale.
Rye is more dense than berries, so it's much better for making syrup and alcohol.
