Hey everyone! Necesse Version 0.28 is now live! Yesterday we shared a teaser showcasing a lot of the changes coming with the update, so check it out if you haven't already! [previewyoutube=IxG0GRUejhU;full][/previewyoutube] If you liked the video, make sure to follow our socials for more cool Necesse stuff! Discord: https://discord.gg/FAFgrKD X/Twitter: @NecesseGame Reddit: /r/Necesse Youtube: @Necesse In this update we've been working on the UI and onboarding of Necesse. While we still got a lot more stuff planned, we think that this update is a good step towards making Necesse easier to get into for new players. This includes the new upgradeable workstations, anvils and alchemy tables. Each of these stations can now be upgraded to access better recipes, while maintaining the recipes from their previous upgrade.
All crafting stations now also has a categorized layout, making it easier to navigate between recipes. The quest system has also been simplified. The elder now only has boss quests and the rewards from the old repeatable quests is now part of the new adventure journal challenge system.
This should make it easier to track down the specific rewards that you desire. In the previous update we added carpets and paintings. In this update we've expanded a bit further on these items and their systems.

• Carpets can now be placed below objects, such as beds/tables.
• Paintings and wall lights can now be placed any wall, regardless of any object being in the way.
• Some tables can now hold placeable lights, such as candles and torches.

Some of the other features and changes in this update include:

• More ground clutter on biome surfaces.
• New starter presets for the Elders house.
• A new mount.
• New settlement banners of war and peace.
• Community voted weapon: The Seed Gun.
• New items are now better highlighted in your inventory.

You can read the full changelog below. As always, we will keep a close eye on issues and balancing and push out updates as needed :) Thank you for all the support and feedback! - Fair
