Hello all! Today I am glad to announce the first update for Idle Fields, version 1.1! This update introduces Offline Progression, the 2024 Easter event, and the start of re-balancing.

Offline Progression
This feature was a very highly suggested addition to the game. Offline progression in Idle Fields is something I have always thought of but was never sure if it fit the game, clearly, I was wrong :D Offline time will by default start with 1 hour and can be upgraded for each skill up to 8 hours.
How does it work?
Each worker will help by gathering you resources when you are offline. This is calculated for every skill close to the same value as when you are online. When you log into Idle Fields, you will see a new menu that shows you levels increased, xp gained, and resources collected/lost. Balancing this will take me some time so if it feels overpowered or too weak in any areas, please let me know!
Easter Event
The first seasonal event has arrived to Idle Fields! Head over to your farm to find chicks, random Easter eggs, bunnies with party hats, bunny ears for workers, and new decorations for your barn. The Easter event will end Monday 15th of April.
Bunny ears and barn decor will stay even after the event so do not fear. You will not miss out on this new content even after the event concludes.
