addedFarming and plantingThe big update in this patch is the new farming and planting mechanic. Resources that are organic, can now be planted on the ground. Some resources drop seeds and some seeds need to be crafted at a new crafting bench called plant processing table.

addedFarming and plantingThe biofuel recipes have also been moved to the plant processing table, from the chemistry bench, since they are more appropriate there. And that way they can be obtained earlier in the game. Since biofuel is supposed to be a more efficient fuel source, so you don’t have to waste wood, branches and other items for fuel.

Farming and planting

The big update in this patch is the new farming and planting mechanic. Resources that are organic, can now be planted on the ground. Some resources drop seeds and some seeds need to be crafted at a new crafting bench called plant processing table.

Save game compatibility

Due to a large restructuring of the game's code, save files saved with previous versions of the game will not be compatible with this version (Update-2).

However, save files from new games started with Update-2, will be compatible with future versions of the game (Update 3, 4, 5, etc.)

The game now runs better and it's significantly faster to start a new game, load a game and save a game. Also, the save files sizes are significantly smaller.

Tooltips

There were some players who said that, sometimes, the purpose of some objects wasn’t clear. Or, it takes some time to figure out how the controls work. So, I added a bunch of tooltips to help new players with that, as well as added some additional information in the crafting UI.

New items

And palm trees

Besides some optimizations, there are many other new things in the game, but I don’t want to spoil everything.

If you run into a bug or issue or have some feedback, let me know on the steam discussions page. Have fun playing.
