Hi! Today's update features a nice amount of new items, as well as a much requested feature: The farm map! It's currently shown instead of the old Point of interest selection dialog. We're still working on it so expect some changes in the future (including a key to directly open it from anywhere).
Today's Farm Showcase: Parkland by 3iQz
New features:
- Now you can see a map of your farm when interacting with points of interest or the bus stop (once you have at least one point of interest built). We'll add a map key in the future.
- New items:
- Kiwifruit
- Cacao tree
- Olive tree
- Harlequin Rabbit
- Carp
- Salmon
- Hydrangea
- Lavender
- Residential fence and door
- Playground fence and door
- New customization items:
- Girly skirt
- Militar face paint
- Assorted tractor antennas
Improvements:
- You can now sort items in the shop by level ascending or descending
- When opening the shop window at night, the preview item will be lit.
- When placing/moving items, you can now rotate them by pressing the Move key, without the need to orientate your character (you can still do it that way). Each press will rotate 90 degrees.
- Items behind the character are removed earlier. More items in front of the character will be shown (please let us know if this causes a big performance hit on your computers).
- If the game finds a problem while saving farm data, it will go directly to the main menu and let you know of the problem.
- The lock icon in the shop is now closed, not open :)
- Video settings are no longer synchronized on Steam Cloud.
Gameplay changes:
- New quests will now give bigger medal rewards on higher farm levels.
- Most achievements can now be unlocked while visiting other farms, as long as the event is triggered while you're on it.
- Flowers no longer require to be watered on specific seasons, they will need to be harvested on their specific seasons instead.
- Flowers being watered with sprinklers will only grow to 65% of their max growth.
- Reduced requirements for some accumulative achievements.
Bugfixes:
- Fixed all animals in a plot starting to walk at the same time.
- Fixed gamepad input not being ignored while the game is in background
- Should have fixed the "white screen with big black areas" issue.
