[h3]Highlights:[/h3]
There are two new
questlines and new
cutscenes centred around the construction of two new buildings in Woodhome. The new buildings are
two museums one for gems and one for farming for the community in Woodhome. There are numerous great rewards for completing the collections. Contact person is Eugenia after the initial cutscene with Nira and Tom after the Museum of Agriculture was opened.
A gypsy family regularly visits Woodhome and sets up their stand in front of Tiffany's café. They offer goods that cannot be bought anywhere else. However, the selection and quantity is limited and varies with each visit. The contact person for the introductory quest is Tiffany after you have had breakfast with her.
Introduction of two new
crafting stations. The first is the cheese press and the second is the loom. Both are used to process animal products. There are also numerous new recipes and plans. The construction plans for the crafting stations are available from Till the carpenter and Alfed and Magda.
Algae are making their way into Behind the Horizon. Algae can be planted and harvested, but they also grow wild and share the ponds with the fish. Recipes for food with algae have also been added.
The
beehive has been added to the game. Placed near blooming flowers, it collects honey on its own, which only needs to be harvested.
3 new
harvesting tools have been added. The magic harvesting basket, the magic harvesting sickle and the seaweed net. The first two are rewards in the museums, while the seaweed net can be bought from Alfred and Magda.
Salt has been added as a raw material for some new recipes. Salt can be found from time to time in stone deposits. There is also a crystal salt mine somewhere north of Woodhome that is waiting to be discovered.
The textures of all paths in the game have been greatly improved and now blend in much better with the landscape. Some plant growth cycles have also been embellished.
When building paths, only paths that can be laid and that harmonize with each other in terms of colour are now built next to each other. Otherwise, they have an border between them, which makes the transition visually more beautiful.
Farm plants and ground cover plants that consistently grow without a deficiency now have the chance to produce more or return seeds more often. It is therefore worth making sure that all plants lack nothing!
The player chests now have 10 instead of 5 different colours, which can be selected in the chests menu. In addition, the appearance of the chest has been changed.
All existing hardwood chests in the game score are converted to normal wooden chests when the update is started and the colour is reset.
The former hardwood chest becomes a
transparent chest, which is considerably larger and, in addition to the 10 different colours, displays the first item in the chest on the chest. The blueprint for this chest is given to the player directly by Wilfried in the tutorial for a new game. For current games, a blueprint is placed inside the farm.
I hope that these measures will lead to a really organised storage system for all items in the game.
The farm overview (CTRL) has been completely redesigned and, like the plant info on the farm, can now also be activated and deactivated directly in the quick bar using two new buttons.
A new element spell called
Fire Magnet has been added. You can buy the formulas from Niall in his shop. The fire magnet draws all monsters in the environment that have no shock resistance to a point and burns them.
All changes are listed below in the patch notes. Additionally in the ‘Updates 3.xx’ section of the in game manual you will find all the information about the Update.
There is also a video on my YouTube channel that briefly introduces the updates V3.1 - V3.6. However, it is currently only available in German:

[h3]Patch Notes V3.6:[/h3]
Game:Two new quest lines with cutscenes in Woodhome
Two museums invite you to collect and offer great rewards early on in the game. You can place the items on the tables or select them from the toolbar and place them on the table with the right mouse button, just like when feeding or giving presents. If you do not have a suitable item active in the quick bar, you can use the right mouse button to view an overview of the table under the mouse arrow. There you can see exactly what you need and what rewards are available for the table, table group or the entire museum.
New items: - the magic harvest basket - if possible, it harvests an area of 3x3 fields at once.
- the magic sickle - it harvests an area of 3x3 squares at a time if possible.
- the algae net, which is used to harvest algae in the water. It has a range of 3 fields so that you can harvest not only on the shore.
The price calculation for farm plants, their products and the seeds and pots is now standardised (i.e. fully calculated) and is based on the growing period and the difficulty of growing the plant (soil, temperature and light requirements). This measure also means that the prices of the dishes change slightly. Overall, however, the balance is greatly improved and it is always worth growing every plant.
The prices for wild herbs remain unchanged, as they are easy to collect in large quantities in the wild.
A crystal salt mine has been added to the world map. New salt crystals are slowly forming around the mine.
Salt can now also be found in stone deposits from time to time.
New transparent player chest that displays the first item in the chest on the chest itself.
Stable buildings now contain destructible side walls (from the outside with the axe with the axe). This makes it easier for the animals to find their way back into the barn if you build the barn inside an enclosure, which means that the animals can graze around the barn. However, if the walls have been destroyed, they can no longer be rebuilt. As an alternative solution, crates can be placed close together in the gap. However, this change only affects newly built stables
Truffle pigs can now also be accommodated in stables for sheep and pigs.
The two incredible stables that you can buy from Nira after completing her quest series now have their own look and have a hay rack and light.
Premium plants (without growth deficiencies) have been added to the game. These plants give either more harvest or more seeds. They are marked with a yellow star in the plant info window and in the farm overview.
4 types of algae that can be planted in pond water or river water have been added.
New recipes for algae dishes and for the cheese press have been added (snacks section in the cooking menu)
Added cheese press and loom crafting stations with plans for building.
Added new plans for the loom (Setup section in the Build menu)
The available and required ingredients are now displayed in the building, magic and cooking menus. For the available ingredients, all nearby crafting chests are also taken into account. This provides an overview of how many raw materials you still have of each type. Chests that are not marked as crafting chests are ignored.
The crafting menus now show whether the right crafting station for the recipe or plan is within reach.
The farm overview (CTRL) has been redesigned and made clearer.
There are two new buttons in the quick bar that can be used to switch the farm overview and the plant info (display deficiency states for plants + animal names) on and off. The old function using the CTRL key with subsequent display of the plant info is retained. In addition, the plant info overview is also always displayed automatically when you use the skill Feel plants. The overview will switch off again automatically after a while.
Two new tutorial texts have been added for the two new buttons in the quickbar. As always, these can be switched off in the settings.
The range of all harvesting tools (harvesting basket, sickle and ladder) increases with better quality, so that you can harvest plants and trees in a larger radius without moving.
The good water bucket now also has a longer reach than the normal water bucket. In addition, when used with the ALT button, it can still water 9 fields at once (requires 9 water buckets, of course).
In Story Mode, the damage from poison fields and the burn and freeze effect is now also reduced. However, the damage from fire fields and lava remains, as these may often not be crossed.
The link to the FAN Wiki has been added and can be opened with F2 in the browser (is also displayed when starting the game)
Destroy death vines spell: When the spell version is loaded, the map is now also updated in the entire cleared area. This makes it easier to see where vines of death might still be hiding.
The Pumpkin Cheese Soup recipe has been changed and now requires cow's milk cheese and provides significantly more food and energy.
The prices for some rare wild herbs and mushrooms have been greatly increased, so that gathering them is now more fun.
The prices for many formulas have been lowered to improve the balance.
The ingredients for the Ice Rain and Fire Rain spells have been greatly simplified to make them easier to create.
The Fire Magnet spell has been added with formula and charge/overcharge ability. The formula is available from Niall in the shop. The spell pulls enemies together at the point of its release and damages them with a fire explosion. Only monsters with strong shock resistance can escape.
The tooltips in the character menu now also display the abbreviations (tootip) used in the game for the character values.
In the character menu, the maximum values for magic and awareness have been removed, as they are unchanged and only led to misunderstandings.
There is now an information area in the crafting and chests menu that displays a tooltip when you hover over it with the mouse arrow. The tooltip tells you everything about the simplified operation of these menus. This function can be switched off in the settings with all other tutorial tooltips.
An animated exclamation mark now appears at the hay rack, beehive and feed dispenser when the hay rack or feed dispenser is empty or the honey needs to be harvested.
Fire and ice rain have been added to the spells that can be triggered with the Q key (quick bar last field with blue frame).
Fences and walls can now be built further away from the player. This means that the player is not constantly in the way.
Quests for festivals, auctions or other annual events are only displayed as flags on the map if they have been marked as "active" in the diary. This measure creates more clarity on the map about the tasks that are still open.
Various info texts for items have been completed in both English and German.
Bugs:The order of building a stable has been changed, because otherwise in rare cases an animal or the player could get stuck.
An incorrect item was given to the player in the Monster Hell rewards. This has been fixed.
In some game states since the introduction of the new farm areas, the first chest on the farm no longer worked as a crafting chest. This has been fixed and should now work in all game states.
Instructions:Added new functions and added the section Update V3.6.
