0.8.2: 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. This is similar as to prioritizing 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, with 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.
Bon appetit!
What's next?
For now, crops like corn and potatoes can be found on supermarket landmarks. Instead of this we're planning to add new landmarks to the rural region for these crops. We originally planned for an additional region, but found it too similar to the rural one.
These will come with a much-needed update to the localization, Some languages have been lagging behind, and they'll now receive a welcome refresh. However, certain parts, such as the Survival Guide, may still be untranslated as we're planning to expand the tutorial and information sections of the game shortly after. So localization will be updated in chunks over the month of June :)
