Version 0.2.6.5 Homesteading Skill

Updates:

Added: Homesteading

Visit the mysterious portal in Havenport to travel to Bloob’s very own island. Plant, water, and harvest a wide variety of crops — 113 in total.

Grow a variety of Crops, Ores, Trees, Herbs, Mushrooms, Berries, and Fish.

Discover seeds throughout your adventure — from tree seeds in Woodcutting, geodes in Mining, fish eggs in Fishing, Bloobberry seeds, herb seeds, caplings, and more from Foraging.

Want to target specific seeds? Chop down regular trees to find Regular Tree Seeds — each resource drops its own unique seed.

Pickpocketing drop tables have also been updated to include Homesteading crop seeds — higher level targets drop better seeds.

Build your home, advance through the tiers of houses, to unlock new perks, such as reducing growth time, having a bank in your house, Bloobimization directly from your wardrobe.

At release there will be 7 houses to choose from, with more to come in the future.

Have a favourite tree? Invest your seeds to make it a permanent part of your island.

The decoration system lets you spend 50 seeds to permanently unlock and place trees as decorations, allowing you to shape your island into your own personal haven.

Have a favourite ore? Invest your geodes to make it a permanent part of your mine.

The decoration system lets you spend 50 geodes to permanently unlock and place ores as decorations, allowing you to shape your island into your own personal haven.

More customization — customize your Homesteading Workbenches using every tier of log, 16 different variations, custom for each workbench.

Additional upgrade: upon building your first home, you'll find a Seed Research Table. This can be upgraded to decrease your growth time.

Growth time also decreases with level, up to 2 seconds by level 100.

Clicking on any crop will take you to the relative workbench.

Soulbinding updated, with three Homesteading Souls to collect.

Added: Farmer’s Almanac

A complete log of all crops Bloob has grown — tracking progress across every skill tied to gathering and farming.

The Almanac doesn’t just reward you at the end — your seed drop rate increases gradually the more you grow. Each harvest adds progress toward mastery, raising your drop rate step by step until reaching a maximum of +20% at full completion.

Every crop, tree, ore, fish, and forage item has its own individual progress — the more you interact with that resource, the more efficiently you’ll find its seeds or equivalents over time.

Item Compendium updated with 132 new items to collect.

Added: Homesteading Invocations

Island’s Favour — Awards 5% Bonus Homesteading XP at Level 35 Devotion.

Island’s Blessing — Awards 15% Bonus Homesteading XP at Level 88 Devotion.

Island’s Spirit — Awards 25% Bonus Homesteading XP at Level 135 Devotion.

Added: Homesteading Prestige (Levels 1–10)

Prestiging your Homesteading skill grants permanent bonuses and unlocks automation features.

At Prestige Level 1, Bloob gains Auto Homesteading — automatically selecting the best seeds for XP and navigating the island to grow crops without manual input.

Each prestige level increases your Homesteading experience multiplier.

Homesteading Prestige Perks:

Instant Grow Chance: 1.5% per prestige level

Double Crop Chance: 2% per prestige level

Regarding Homesteading, this will continue to be updated over time with more customization, possible future activities. The skill has a lot of potential — I tried to control scope creep so the skill wasn't in development for 6+ months.

Moved Dango's Exchange NPC into the Herbology/Imbuing Building.

Added Nightly’s Exchange – a new smithing-side shop where Bloob can trade raw ores for finished bars. Hand over your ores and 350 gold per bar and Nightly will do the smelting for you.

Nightly can be found next to the furnace in Havenport.

I've tried to include every change, but there were so many to list, I probably missed some.

Burying Bones is now 1 second instead of the previous 2 seconds.

Dango's Exchange will now close the confirmation UI when closing the exchange UI.

Moved Bloobimization UI so the player can see Bloob when applying new Bloobimizations.

Added 30 new achievements, all related to Homesteading, upgrading your island, purchasing new decorations, unlocking new houses. Decorations can be switched to one you prefer (this applies to all decorations).
