Taiga Update

We've added a new biome to the game, the Taiga Biome!

Spend some time and relax in the beautiful landscape. Take in the tall fir trees and the pristine ponds. Explore the wilds to find hot springs and hidden caves.

Animals such as boar and deer roam the idyllic landscape. Take care though, as Bears have been spotted from time to time.

Updates

  • Taiga biome has been added to the game. This is colder hilly biome with some small lakes and tall trees
  • The Hotspring, Bear Cave, and Trading post sketches have been added to the game. These spawn in the new Taiga biome
  • Boars are now in Ficterra. The wild boars roam the Taiga biome and come in 4 different coats. Boars can also become pets
  • Bears have been added to the game. Bears are found in Bear Caves in the Taiga biome. Bears are very strong and should be approached with caution
  • New sorting icons in inventory
  • New trash icon in inventory
  • Changed layout of title and sorting buttons in inventory
  • Butterflies now come in 4 different colours (up from 1)
  • Ficterra now uses two-sided shadows by default. This should make lighting much more realistic underground.
  • Added a toggle in Settings to turn off two-sided shadows

Fixes

  • Fixed more cases where the player could spawn in mountains
  • Can now select None as an option in the Mod Editor for running code On Start
  • Fixed a bug where code files downloaded from the Steam Workshop were not being read correctly
