Hi!



Today's update brings a number of changes in preparation for the exit of Early Access, which is coming very soon!

The most important feature added is the increase of the level cap from 100 to 999. All experience previously obtained will count towards the new cap, so you may go up a number of levels at once if you reached level 100 some time ago.

On top of that, you now have a very slight chance of getting a gold nugget when harvesting items. This chance will increase along with the level of an item.

Gold nuggets can be exchanged in a new building, the Pawn Shop, for other currency and resources.

We've also done some changes to the way game data is stored. This should lead to slightly shorter load times. You shouldn't have any problem with that, but please let us know if you experience any issue.

New features:

• New resource: Gold Nugget. There's a very small chance of getting a gold nugget when harvesting items.

New items:

• Pawn Shop, a building where you can trade gold nuggets for money and resources.
• Modern Cooker (can be placed instead of the standard cooker).
• Modern Fridge

• Plenty of new recipes and paintings.

Gameplay changes:

• Increased level cap to 999. All levels above 100 will require the same amount of experience to level up.

• Improved fish rendering performance, like we did with animals in an earlier update.
• Improved tree rendering performance when having many trees of the same type together.
• Changed a bit the way Farmhands work area preview is shown.
• Recipes are properly sorted in the Select Recipe window.
