Hey folks, happy launch day!
I wanted to quickly go over some of the things that have changed or been added to the game since the demo release back in February. I think you will like what's in store!
Giant crops
Giant crops have a random chance of spawning on your farm. You can decide to keep them as decoration or you can harvest them by clicking on them multiple times. Just be careful when moving crop patches because it will delete any crops that are planted on the patch.
Moving buildings
That brings me to the next point, moving buildings! This was probably the biggest piece of feedback that I received from the demo. Now you can select a building to move, it will turn back into boxes, and Rusty will help move the boxes to their new location.
Splunk, our Savior
Splunk will help plant seeds around the farm which is really useful in the late-game when you have a big spralling farm. If there is no sign posted, they will randomly pick one of your recently unlocked crops and seed an entire crop patch.
Vertical mode
You can create vertical farms which are stored in separate savefiles (which are also uploaded to Steam Cloud). This was another big one from the list of demo feedback!
Priority List
The last big piece of feedback from the demo was 'I wanna control what Rusty works on!' After upgrading a few of your robot helpers, Rusty kinda falls off, so now you can control their priorities on a more granular level.
This is just a short list of a few of the things that have been added, there are also animals that 'produce' fertilizer, beekeeping, and different unlockable maps!
Oh, and I added in farm statistics like 2 days before launch lol
I hope you enjoy the game, it's been really fun to make, and I can't wait to see what the community thinks!
