0.8.2e1: The Chef
Hey Drifters,
Continuing on the food improvements, we bring you: The Chef.
To better manage food in the endgame, you can now prioritize what your drifters eat, just like you prioritize their duties. Additionally, every drifter now has a favorite food that gives them a big morale boost when they eat it!
We've added three new crops; Potatoes, Tomatoes and Wheat. The food pipeline has been rebalanced, introducing new dishes for the Food Truck and a new building: the "Fancy Restaurant" :) A place where you can create culinary food and even add your own decorations on top.
During experimental we'll be working on additional balancing, food-related decorations and adding more depth to the drifter's diet.
What's next?
For now, crops like corn and potatoes can be found on supermarket landmarks. Instead of this we're planning to add a new region with new landmarks for these crops.
This patch is still in development and can be tested on the experimental branch to give feedback.
This is how you can enable the experimental branch of Flotsam. This will only work when you're not in a game:
1. Open Steam Library
2. Right click Flotsam
3. Select Properties
4. Go to tab 'Betas' at the top.
5. Select 'Experimental' in the drop-down.
