Hi!
Today's update brings a number of new items and some changes and improvements to farmhands, following community requests:
Today's Farm showcase: My best friend by papillon96
New items:
- 3 New avatar faces
- New trees: Yuzu tree and Tangerine tree
- New fish: Clam, Oyster and Mussel
Improvements:
- Improved rendering method for animals, it should improve performance when many of them are visible on screen.
- A farmhand character is now shown on the Farmhand building preview
- Buildings that have reached its placement limit (such as houses, points of interest, etc) will be shown as unavailable in the Shop.
- Buildings can now be sorted by availability. Utility buildings (fuel stations, points of interest) will be shown first, and more expensive buildings will be also shown first.
- Reduced controller vibration while moving with the tractor.
- Farmhands will now have a small icon on the map.
Gameplay changes:
- Farmhands: Now only online time is counted towards their contract length.
- Farmhands: Upkeep price changed to 2 tickets every 2 hours.
- Farmhands: Reduced farmhand price increase after the first one placed. The difference in medals will be refunded upon loading the farm.
- Farmhands will now work a little faster (less delay between tasks).
Bugfixes:
- Fixed shop window not opening in the plants category when interacting with plowed land.
- Fixed "Controller Disconnected" window text having a wrong layout.
- Fixed Avatar default hair color (was grey, should have been brown).
- Should have fixed problem with trees sometimes being rendered with the "see-through" in the shop preview.
- Fixed "[unknown]" username for non-friends on the Guestbook list. Note that people that signed prior to this update can still be shown this way until you reopen the window again.
