Patchnotes 0.7.5

New features

Parasites Various different parasites now inhabit the world. They can infest Onbu and be both harm- and helpful, depending on your current situation. External parasites can be fought with the new Pest Control building, while internal parasites are removed by the Injector. Some external parasites even lay eggs, allowing you to collect them and start your own parasite farm. Or you can just cook and eat them.
Cult of Onbu You can now feed villagers to Onbu. Not only does this fill up Onbus belly, but it also terrifies your villagers so much that they will stop revolting and start seeing Onbu as a divine being. They will then demand more sacrifices to Onbu, or become more and more unhappy with each level of the cult.
Stand still command The hornblower now has a separate command to make Onbu stand in place. Useful in biomes where the ground is poisonous, or for avoiding certain parasites.

You can also join the game's community on Discord:

In a world where mysterious plants are spreading all over the earth, emitting toxic spores as they grow, a small group of survivors seeks shelter on the back of a giant, wandering creature they call 'Onbu'.
Become their leader, build their settlement and form a symbiotic relationship with the creature to survive together in this hostile, yet beautiful post-apocalyptic world that now surrounds you.

Build your village

A functioning village is the basis of your survival. Build your settlement and expand it over the creature's back. Plan production chains and optimize them to utilize the limited space as efficiently as possible. Create a society that can overcome any challenge.

Live on the creatures back

Living on the back of another organism comes with its own set of challenges. Will you live in symbiosis, bond with the creature and survive on mutual trust? Or will you become a parasite, only aiming to ensure a better life for your villagers? The choice is yours.

Discover different biomes

Travel through a multitude of different biomes and adapt your village to their unique opportunities and threats. Scout your environments and send out foraging missions to gather rare resources and ancient artifacts.

Research new technologies

Remnants of the old world hold knowledge that has long been forgotten, but can be unearthed by your villagers. Find and research these technologies, but use them wisely, as progress can be a double-edged sword.

Survive the wastelands

Ensure the survival of both your villagers and your Onbu, even though poisonous spores, merciless weather, bloodsucking parasites and many more challenges mean that the odds are often stacked against you.
