Howdy, y’all! April showers are here, and with them come another community update--so let’s get right to it!

What We’re Doing

As we’ve said before, our devs have been working on a ton of fixes, and we’re almost ready to bring them to you! Here are some of the things you can expect in the next build update: - Added mouse functionality; left and right mouse buttons as primary and secondary actions - Locked 3x3 plots when planting seeds; now you don’t need to stand in the exact center of a 3x3 plot to plant! - Player can now sleep/save without having to go inside the bed; player can stand beside bed and interact with it to bring up the save menu - New farmland layout for UX improvement - Adjusted cursor visibility cooldown - Updated land hover visuals - Removed re-carry on items after they are thrown - Updated seed and crop prices for Year 1 crops and saplings - Updated seed descriptions; you can now view how long it takes a seed to grow and how much it will cost And here are some of the things we’re still perfecting: - Better controls introduction to eliminate "guessing" of controls at the start of the game - Default control sets for: Mouse & Keyboard, Keyboard, Controller - Shipping Bin tells how much you're going to earn with the current contents of your bin If you have any more suggestions about how we can improve gameplay, don’t hesitate to send them our way in the Suggestions thread!

After weeks of being down on your luck in the big city, you've found your calling: farming! A real estate agency is selling a beautiful farm property down south, and amazingly, you have just enough in your savings to buy it outright! Risking it all, you decide to leave the city tonight in hopes of starting your farming dreams tomorrow!

Except you almost immediately get caught in a bad storm, total your car, and are now stuck in a foreign town with some of the strangest people you've ever met. Even worse, the before-thought beautiful farm is in severe disrepair and, according to the townsfolk, was never for sale in the first place! You now find yourself in a seemingly hostile town where one mystery seems to just stack on another...

Only one thing's for sure: the town is hiding something.
