Hi everyone, I am happy to announce the latest update for Hillshade Farm, focusing on QoL improvements, new Sell Stand options, Quests and important fixes!
List of changes for this update:
Crafting Systems across the entire game have received some big changes, bringing options to Bulk Craft items in 5x or 10x amounts, faster crafting and more reliability!
Each crafting menu offers newly added 1X, 5X and 10X buttons, which change the crafting amounts and offer much faster crafting capabilities. (4x Planks on 10X option craft 40x Planks for 10 logs in one run.)
Each crafting bench now crafts items faster, while still keeping the crafting animations, but simply giving items faster, reducing the long wait times for basic items such as building resources.
The sell stand on your farm now has the 2nd page fully finished, offering many new/newly added items available to sell directly on the farm! This will heavily reduce trips to other locations, and offer easier growth for the farm, as well as give more purpose to many items that your farm produces.
To bring more options to the gameplay itself, there are 5 new Quests added to the Farm Mailbox, all from the beautiful Sunshine Ranch. These are all Side-Quests which are easy to complete, and give a decent XP boost, money and farm items!
Start-Up crashes heavily reduced/fixed.
Game Framerate and stability heavily improved.
Farm Trees performance and stability heavily improved.
All outside-farm map foliage heavily optimised.
Cows and Calf bug fixes regarding path finding and general logic.
Crafting Benches all recipe issues fixed.
More NPCs and objects added at the Kindale Village area for next update.
That is all for this update, I hope you all like the latest improvements and even more importantly the optimization/crash fixes. The game has been running better and better after each iteration, especially with this latest version!
Hopefully now we can focus on adding further content and map expansions for the update next week, giving you more things to do and explore in the world of Hillshade Farm :)
Thank you all for playing and supporting, and see you all soon!
