Hi! Today's update features the introduction of simple weather effects (Rain, Drought and Snow) that have some effect on crop growth. Also, plenty of new items are available to plant or build.
Also, from today onwards, we'll be choosing a picture from the Farm Showcase forums or Discord's #farm-showcase channel and feature it, so make sure to post there your best ones!
"Fruity Orchard" by Cameronte10
New features:
- Seasons now have a small chance (1/8) of having a weather effect (rain, heat or snow).
- Added a confirmation dialog when unlocking a new chunk of land.
- Added French, Chinese, Turkish, Finnish, Hungarian, Dutch community translations.
- Added an "Expert Mode" option that hides the game UI and tile preview for better immersion. In this mode, you can use the Tab key to show the interface for a moment. Hiding icons will probably come in a later update.
- Added a Gas Station that generates more fuel per second and has a bigger tank.
- New crops: Corn, Potato, 2 Roses
- Added a non-directional sign.
- New fences: Gate variants of previous fences.
- New customization item: Viking helmet
Improvements:
- Added some autorecovery features to the farm list, so if the file is not saved properly, it will be recovered (you'll lose your player progress level, but not the farms).
- You can now harvest animals with the tractor.
- You can now delete tiles with the tractor.
Gameplay changes:
- Pond earnings are now calculated per tile instead of globally, which should make them more predictable.
- Ponds now give 1 item experience point per use.
- Gas stations can now be interacted anytime as long as they have 25 points of fuel (instead of having to wait 1 minute).
- Fruit Press now requires 50 fruit instead of 25, but it can be used every minute (instead of 5 minutes).
Bugfixes:
- Should fix most out-of-memory crashes.
- Fixed big pond / animal field memory usage.
- Fixed save tasks not performing in time when having big ponds/fields.
- Fixed withered crops being VERY small.
- (Hopefully)Fixed visual bugs on some Radeon cards.
