Ocean Update Patchnotes
Its scorching hot outside - the perfect opportunity to take a refreshing dive into the brand-new Ocean Biome! But thats not all - amongst many quality-of-life improvements, performance tweaks and bugfixes, our team has also been working on a host of other things, such as:
Explore the brand-new Ocean Biome! Discover remote islands, explore shipwrecks and more. The sea has plenty to offer - but beware, for the waters can be treacherous. Onbu will not be able to rest on open sea, so make sure to prepare for your journey!
Some buildings now have unlockable upgrade paths in the research tree. Upgrade buildings to give them unique boons. These often introduce tough decisions: would you rather make your Air Well fully automatic but slow, or keep it manually operated but give it a huge productivity boost? Do you want to allow up to 8 farmhands to work your farm, or would you rather boost its output, but make it necessary to use fertilizer for it to work at all?
Place beautiful structures to increase the happiness of villagers inhabiting nearby homes. Decorations can be unlocked in the research menu. Play around with placement of different decoration tiers to find your perfect setup!
Hostility Modifiers add a new way to spice up your game and challenge yourself! Unlock this feature by reaching a certain waypoint roughly around day 100 on any savefile. Survive for 500km with a set of modifiers active to unlock a higher limit. Can you beat the game with all modifiers at once?

Decoration Buildings
Place beautiful structures to increase the happiness of villagers inhabiting nearby homes. Decorations can be unlocked in the research menu. Play around with placement of different decoration tiers to find your perfect setup!
