Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS!
Today's update is about new items and new gameplay features. First of, more jewelry types were added + jewels mining mechanics. When mining stone or iron player has a chance to find one of 4 jewels: diamonds, rubies, sapphire and emeralds. The chance depends on mining skills (2%, 5%, 8%). Also player can craft iron and steel rings with these jewels as well.
The second change is wetness mechanic. Now player can get wet under the rain or under the water - if parameter will reach 100% equipped tool can become rusty. To get dry player have to find a shelter or wait until rain will stop.

IMPORTANT
1) Please, feel free to use built-in bug reporter (F11) - it will help development a lot.
2) If something is broken make sure you have verified game files and started new world, remember -KINGDOMS is still EA, I try to make saves compatibility for every new version of the game, but can't guarantee it all the time.
3) The game is still in development, it's NOT finished product, updates are coming 3-4 times a week and that will inevitably cause various issues. Updates for game in development and for finished game - are two absolutely different things, remember that. Game mechanics come and gone, bugs are being fixed and new ones appear all the time. Its a normal thing for development process. If you want to experience KINGDOMS as it was initially designed - smooth, without bugs and full of working mechanics - please, wait till final version will be out.
4) You can support development of KINGDOMS on my official Patreon page.
Thanks for your support, see you very soon!
