🔥 New Features
🪓 The Lumberjack
A new job is available: the Lumberjack.
An employee with enough strength can cut dead trees around the tavern and deposit wood in storage. The higher their strength, the faster they work!
🪙 Merchant System Overhaul
Merchants now have a daily restocking inventory.
They visit twice a day, once in the morning and once in the late afternoon, offering a wider range of goods.
📅 Work Schedule
The type of housing impacts how many hours an employee can work per day:
- Tent: 8 working hours
- Bed: 12 working hours
You can manage shifts directly from the Employee Panel.
📺 New Graphic Option: High Performance Mode
A "High Performance" graphics setting has been added for players with lower-end PCs.
🏕️ Permanent Merchants
Some merchants, like the lumberjack lady or the miner, are now permanently stationed on the map. Their stock refreshes daily.
🎨 General Improvements
- UI improvements: Several adjustments to make the interface more intuitive
- Price balancing: Some item prices have been updated to match new mechanics and recipes
- The lumberjack merchant is now available from the start in the swamp area (east of the tavern) and no longer needs to be unlocked via the skill tree
- Performance optimizations: Smoother and more stable gameplay
- AI improvements: Better behavior for employees and merchants
- Bug fixes: Various small gameplay and display issues resolved
- Seed behavior fixed: Planted seeds can no longer be picked up, and dropping a seed with F no longer causes it to grow anywhere
