Along with a large amount of bug fixes and game adjustments, this update gives you the ability to color or pattern certain objects. Some can even take on a combination of colors and patterns! Be it a cave, house, town, fortress, or city, you can stand out from all the rest.
Several existing places in Story Mode have been updated to give you a few ideas:
