Hey all,
This is the final content update before 1.0 goes live on Apr 22 2025! (Refer to previous announcement on 1.0)
New Journal Entries
Havendock's storyline expands in the 1.0 update. This update makes the final preparations necessary to wrap it up. Since Early Access, the journal unlocks pieces of lore unlock as you explore the world. In this update, 11 new journal entries have been added - but the final 5 will only be revealed from a new island in the 1.0 update.
New Ranch research
Ranch now unlocks by a research. When it was unlocked from the beginning, it caused confusion as you could never use the eggs from ranching until much later when the incubator is unlocked. Thus, they are now put as a research behind the incubator.
New epic ending
Only on the experimental branch: When you reach the final stage of the game, you'll now be faced with two choices that shape your destiny. Each one leads to a different ending. A new ending and a new resource have been added to mark the final closure of your journey.
I would show an exciting picture here but it would be spoiler content.
This will be available on the default branch in 1.0.
