Hey Adventurers, we are finally ready to bring you the Completion Update!
Our goal with this update is to tie up some loose ends the Foundation Update left behind.
Let’s start with the stew for the crew. The stew was always intended to provide you with an opportunity to spend your extra ingredients and earn unique and valuable rewards for doing so. Due to the lack of communication regarding those rewards and the stringent linear progression of them, it never felt worth doing. The changes we made to the stew and its UI are meant to help with these problems: You can now view almost all available rewards and choose which ones you want to unlock depending on your progress!
Feedback we got a lot is that you want to have your very own shack to decorate. We added many new stew rewards and some of them allow you to gain access to the area east of the camp, where you can build and expand your own shack with up to three rooms!
Your crew got some new moves! They will now wave at you if they’ve got something for you, and perform unique animations when idle. We hope this makes them and the camp feel more alive!
Decorations got a whole lot more versatile: Every piece of furniture from each set (including the ones from newly added sets) now comes with 2 color variants in addition to its original. This gives you even more visual customization options for each shack!
Finally, the Parrot and Ancestor also get their own relationships, each with their own perks, decoration sets and even two new outfits!
Check out the patch notes for more features and changes. Of course there are many bug fixes in this update as well, please let us know if we missed any!
We hope you’ll have fun with this update and its features. Happy adventuring!
New Features and Changes:
Stew for the crew overhaul!
- Crew member ingredient preferences are now tracked and visible in the inventory when preparing a stew.
- Up to 9 ingredients can now be added per crew member to further increase the crew happiness and stew duration.
- The stew duration now increases by 1 hour per ingredient and has a limit of 24 hours.
- Your crew's happiness is no longer limited by main quest progression.
- When leveling up the crew happiness, you now earn a reward tokens.
- Unlocked stew rewards can now be freely purchased with reward tokens instead of being unlocked linearly.
- Added a new stew reward screen to view and purchase stew rewards, accessible via the regular stew menu.
- Dev-Notes: There was an issue with some stew rewards not being properly unlocked with the old linear stew reward system. This caused some of you to not get specific unique items which were required for completing certain achievements like the "Collector" achievement. With the new stew reward system you can choose from every available reward in the game, allowing you to retroactively unlock any you missed out on and complete all achievements.
- Added new unique stew rewards.
- Added repeatable stew rewards to allow the player to trade reward tokens for components, fish, key shards and more.
- Added a separate option for collecting your stew reward when talking to a crew member.
- Dev-Notes: Rewards were previously collected by just talking to a crew member. Due to some quest dialogues having a higher priority, the reward dialogues were sometimes not used and the reward was not collected which caused confusion and frustration among players.
New Personal Shack!
- New unique stew rewards allow you to expand your campsite to the previously uncharted plateau east of the camp. Spend reward tokens to unlock new foundations and build your very own personal shack with up to 3 rooms to decorate!
