We are pleased to announce that v0.8.0, Farthest Frontier's first major update, is now live!

Some of the highlights:

• Production Limits can now be set from within the Resource Window and/or from building windows.
  
• Many of the game's systems and windows have been updated with tutorials.
  
• Beautify your towns with a series of all new decorative and entertainment buildings! Enjoy Festival Poles, Ornamental Trees, Flower Urns, Bench Plazas, new Fence types and more!
  
• Houses now have a detailed Desirability bar that shows progress towards housing tiers.
  
• Villager AI has received numerous upgrades that will make them more efficient and intelligent at performing their tasks while also reducing frustrating instances of them stopping mid-task or dropping items all over town.
  
• Building Windows now feature a new button to mark a building for top priority repairs.
  

We hope you enjoy these major additions and are excited for what's still to come!
