Hi folks!\n\nFirst of all, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We hope you enjoy the holidays :)\n\n\n\nThis is a good opportunity to release a small update! It adds new items, various Quality-of-Life changes, several bugfixes and also support for Steam Cloud. \n\nSteam Cloud support means that your worlds and blueprints are automatically stored in the Steam Cloud and synced with other devices where you log in. This is useful if you play the game on more than one devices (e.g. a Steam Deck and a regular PC). If you own Rising World on Steam, you will also be able to play it via GeForce NOW (it might take a couple of days though until it\'s accessible there). \n\nIf you don\'t want to use Steam Cloud, you can turn it off in the Steam settings (right-click on Rising World in your Steam Library to get there). \n\nPlease remember that it\'s still recommendable to create manual backups of your world from time to time. You can do that from the single-player menu (just right-click on a world to create or restore a backup), but if you press the ESC button ingame, you will now also see a backup option there. Please note that the backup folder had been moved: it\'s no longer found in the \"Worlds\" directory, instead you can now find a separate \"Backups\" folder in the game directory.\n\n\n\nThis update also adds various new clothes (some of them can only be found in the world), a crossbow and a wooden crate. The glass bottle can now be filled with water, other baby animals can now be picked up and several bugs had been fixed. \n\n\n\nWe\'ve also reworked the moon light at nights: it now casts shadows and emits more intense volumetric light. We also fixed a bug which caused moon light to not affect the clouds. \nPlease note that the overall brightness during night is still related to the moon phase. There are settings now to disable moon phases and to change the brightness/intensity of the moon light.\n\n\n\nBy the way, if you can\'t find your mount for some reason, there is now a console command \"findmount\" to highlight the last used mount. A more immersive solution for this is planned.\n\nWe\'re still working on animal breeding/husbandry and hope to get it ready with the next update. Stay tuned!\n\n\n
