Update 0.29 is finally live! Here is a summary of the changes and new features.
- New ship
A new large ship is now available for purchase at Kicia Bay, in Fire Fish Lagoon.
- Storage crates
You can now store items in crates. Each crate has a limited amount of storage slots, and each slot can hold any small item, just like your inventory.

Fresh food will now spoil unless preserved. Food can be dried, smoked or salted to keep it from spoiling. An in-game food preservation guide is available for purchase in the capital cities.
- Nutrition system
You will now need to eat a certain amount of fruits and meat or fish in order to prevent scurvy or malnutrition.
