New Update: Beach Resort v2.3.0.1 | Regular v1.3.7.1

Hello!

A new update for both version of the game - with DLC and without it - is ready!



Quality of Life changes:

  • Health will be fully restored each time a player get a level up;
  • All players will now start the game with 2 empty storage chests instead of 1;
  • Players can now cancel sleeping in multiplayer - press ESC to do so!

Fixes:

  • Fixed Alina’s map quest;
  • Fixed missing Beetle insect in Wood Alley;
  • Removed the incorrect level 10 crafting requirement for the new shop;
  • Localisation fixes;
  • Fixed achievements: “Everyone is Here!”, “A Farm to Rule Them All”, “Why Walk”, “Busy Life”, “Two is better than one”. To "refresh" it in the game, please plant any crop, talk to any NPC, finish an event and so on, depending on the achievement. This is important so the "trigger" for an achievement works correctly.
  • Fixed the controller issue: when you choose an item to build it was placed immediately. Now you will choose and then place where you want it to be placed.


BELOW ARE DLC ONLY CHANGES:
You don't need to confirm item quickslot selection anymore;
World map is now syncing correctly;
Beach Resort Island is now loading seasonal material correctly.

Hotfix 2.0.1.0

Hello!

We've prepared an urgent hotfix for savefiles.

- Added a Toggle option on your save screen. Now you can switch between DLC and non DLC saves on the go.



- Fixed a rare error where some saves could be replaced by new save files if profiles got corrupted while loading;
- Fixed the mushrooms spawning in the wrong place, but this fix only works on brand new saves. So we added the option to craft and buy mushrooms!
