Release 136 is available

Crop Stats
Crop plots now show you how much water and fertilizer they have. Simply run your target cursor over them and you will see the bars on the left side of the screen.
Game Completely Reworked!
- Survival Multiplayer Now
- Fantasy Theme
Release 121.1 out to Testers!
Resources you can harvest now have hover-text over them to show the current health and also use a completely new system that will allow me to add new things to harvest easily down the road.
The second game zone is coming along nicely with the first AI in the game that can attack back. There are AI wolves and AI humans now; along with a working reputation system. The AI has a long way to go until you can have companions, but it's coming along well.
The new quests form some very key features needed for the future. There is a grave-digger chain of quests, quests to kill wolves, collection quests, and more. One of the quest chains teaches you the entire process of tanning the hides of animals you kill along the way. This will be very important in crafting protective gear, as well as making items to sell at outposts and to trade to Native Americans.
121.2 is in the works with more outlaw AI to fight, other NPCs to help, and more skills to learn. I'm hoping it will be ready next week.
