changedMore Time To DieThe biggest change is perhaps there's now a bit more time to play around with each day. Previously you had 4 time slots which has now been extended to 5, though you'll need to pack your torch as the extra time takes place at twilight. Previously I felt the smaller areas were under-used as they tend to have to compete against the larger areas brimming with resources, but now each day you can squeeze in an extra visit to one of these smaller areas.
addedFunky TunesIn the Homely Oddity you can now find a Radio to take home or carry around if you wish. When switched on it will randomly play from 11 new funky music tracks made by the talented Antti Luode. Drop it off at your camp for a nice little welcome when traveling back to your wildly home. And if you fancy listening to more of Antti's music you can check them out here: https://www.soundclick.com/artist/default.cfm?bandid=1277008
changedStatus DocA Status Screen has been added from your docket which offers your current run stats to hand, such as days, map complete percentage, etc. The main reason for adding it though was to add descriptions for all the various status effects, which previously you could only guess what they did. Carryable items that have some sort of effect will now also show as a status effect (eg when carrying Fragranced Flowers or an Amulet).
addedNew AreasSome new small areas to explore. - Restless Marker: Two of these exist, one that increases your maximum Stamina and another to increase your maximum Thirst. - Chestly Cave: Two extra storage chests you can teleport to to keep your camp nicely decluttered. - Endly Outgrowth: Has some very special wood that temporarily at least removes the burden of firing up your camp fire each night.
addedNew FurnitureI mainly just wanted to add some new visual ways of making your camp feel a little more comfily homely. - Raised Bed: Provides extra storage and prevents some stamina loss when sleeping. - Bed Shelter: Prevents some stamina loss when sleeping in rain/snow. - Fire Pit: Replaces the old Leaf Hood, and increases the burn worth of items chucked on the fire. - Flower Pots: Prevents and cures any overnight illnesses. - Viney Lights: Provides some light to your camp at night.

Camp Furniture Changes

- Mixery Bowl: Added Con Carne and Vindaloo recipes. Bloodied Hearts now require two Purity Flowers. - Mulchery Bin: The chance of rotten items becoming Flawless Fertiliser is now based on how many worms/maggots are in the bin. - Growy Patch: You can now plant the crop items (eg a potato/carrot/flower which will turn into a mature root). You can no longer plant or use fertiliser during Winter.

Area Changes

- Each of the four talisman altar areas now hide a new secret amulet which each do some useful things (eg the Sunlit Amulet allows you to travel to an extra Explore area each morning). - Ashy Altar: The secret amulet effect now instead allows you to learn bushcraft recipes without bestowing anything. - Rocky Gateway: Tweaked the design of the pedestal so it's easy to see the counter markings. Added a hint when viewing the colossus statue. Adding a
