Update 11 - Farming & Fishing!

Hope you’re hungry, The Farming & Fishing update is OUT NOW!

Farming & Fishing Update - Version 0.11.10.0

** Features: ** ⦿ Landscaping!

• The old 'Place tile' has been replaced with a submenu called Landscaping.

• Dwarves can now build bricks in both front and back layers.

• A new material called Fertile Soil has been added.

⦿ Farming!

• In the 'Landscaping' menu, Gloom Wheat, Toncap Mushrooms, and Algae Grass can now be selected and sown.

• They must be sown on Fertile Soil tiles.

• Once the plant is fully grown, dwarves will automatically go to harvest it.

• Once harvested, the plant will be re-planted in the same spot again.

• Dwarves can mine away the Fertile Soil-tile to remove the crop.

• Toncap mushrooms and Wheat can no longer be crafted in the farm. Old saves might still show them, though.

• Many wild mushroom spawns in the cave has oddly gone missing, probably due to some disease. Only Toncap Mushrooms remain. And wild algae have been springing up as well.

• The mission to craft mushrooms now need them to be harvested instead.

⦿ Fishing!

• A Fishing Pier can now be constructed. Place it near fluids for optimal fishing luck!

• Different fluids and biomes have different species of fish.

• The amount of fish near a Fishing Pier is based on a regional biome meter.

• Added new knowledge: Cave Fishing.

⦿ Dwelling Upgrades!

• It's now possible to make dwarves dwelling much more cozy by upgrading them.

• Who wouldn't want their very own bear rug at home?

⦿ Ultra-widescreen support!

• It's now possible to squeeze the UI towards the middle of the screen, for those that want it.

• This option can be found changed via Options > Graphics > UI Widescreen Width.

⦿ Multiplayer Co-op Mode! (Experimental!)

• We have been working on adding multiplayer!

• A co-op mode can now be played but only in the experimental build.

• Multiplayer should work across all different stores where Hammerting can be bought seamlessly.

• A few issues remain but it is quite playable. We are looking for testing and feedback on this!

• There's now a new button in the start menu, called 'Multiplayer'.

• If you go there, you'll be able to name and create a lobby.

• Let your friends and enemies know the lobby name, and they'll be able to join you as you delve deeper into the caverns.

• You'll all control your dwarves at the same time, and the dwarves will decide which ethereal being (player) they will choose to follow for the time being.

• The player who builds the first quarry wins.

• If you get crashes when playing multiplayer, please zip all players logs, and send them to 'bugs@warpzonestudios.com', or post them in our Discord.

• Ask us in the Discord if you're interested in trying it out but isn't sure how.

• Or if you're looking for friends to play with.

• Or if you're looking for totally sick banjo memes.

** Tweaks: ** ⦿ AI

• Dwarves can now haul stuff from water again.

• Minecarts will now prioritize transporting dwarves over hauling goods when determining next destination.

• Minor AI tweaks to reduce idling dwarves.

• Reduced number of dwarves that get assigned to the same haul job simultaneously. This reduces the amount of cases where multiple dwarves are assigned when only one is needed.

• The starting chest will now act as a storage for all things on the overworld. Bought items will now eventually get hauled to the Mountainhome even if they're not needed anywhere.

⦿ Job priorities!

• Older jobs now has increased priority over new ones.

• Marking a profession as 'Favorite' now gives a scoring boost to prefer those types of jobs.
