August 1st Update

Hey Vikings, we’re back with a new update! In short, you can now tell your villagers how to dress for their job and they’ll color themselves accordingly (and fast!), you can restore vegetation using shovels (no more brownness!), the market route creation interface has been reworked, we added a new settlement log, there’s new furniture for the longhouse and other fancy decorations, and a host of other cool features and fixes! Hope you’ll enjoy this late summer update!
