Clothing, Machines, Borderless Mode, Drinking - So we finally have some clothing for our naked villagers. The town tailor can craft squirrel skin robes on a sewing table by using squirrel skins and twine. The robes are currently only cosmetic, but will eventually function as armor and resistance vs the elements.
As for the method of creating clothing, a few machines were added to accomplish that. The first is the sewing table, which currently lets you add squirrel skins and twine to create a squirrel skin robe. Other recipes will be added over time, such as hats and backpacks. Another machine that was added is the spinning wheel, which currently turns fiber into twine, but will eventually be used to create other materials. The next machine is the loom, which will take twine to create a weaving, which will be used eventually to make bedding, carpets, etc. The last recent machine added was the sharpening stone, which is basically a grinding wheel and acts as a boulder. You can create a sharp rock, a skewer, etc and eventually create more advanced items.
Borderless mode was also added, which can currently be toggled with CTRL and B. Eventually a button will be added to the left panel which will do the same. This mode currently doesn't overlap the taskbar in Windows, but eventually that might change depending how everyone prefers it.
Drinking has also been added. Previously you could only replenish your thirst by eating blueberries, but now you can drink from the town well instead. Since cooked squirrels are now on the menu and they don't provide any water, this was necessary to keep everyone alive.
A full list of changes can be found below.
Additions
- Added borderless mode. By pressing CTRL and B, the screen will go full screen but borderless (however leaving the taskbar visible). If there's a request for borderless full screen that covers the taskbar I'll probably add that.
