Howdy Scientists! Just a quick report to let you know all is going well with the buildings update. I worked on the building construction system (you buy the plan for a type of building, then you can build as many as you want as long as you have materials). At first I wanted to make the greenhouse work like all buildings by teleporting the player on another map, but once I saw Daniel's model, I realized it can work directly in the world map and it feels much more natural that way. [previewyoutube=rbkIfPgPigc;full][/previewyoutube] I still have to work on the system that will manage unlimited buildings (big & small coop, barn, shed), giving each one his own little map where you can put furniture and where animals can walk and sleep. Since we have hydroponics, it will be possible to grow plants in any building, if you provide artificial light and eventually heat in winter. Then I'll work on the new animals, and I'll make a lot of tests to be sure I didn't introduce bugs. All in all, I expect to finish in 3 weeks.

Features
- Build and customize your farm : Grow like the good old days and rediscover traditional permaculture techniques, or use biotechnology to cultivate without soil. Craft machines and drones to help you.
- Learn new skills : progress at you own pace in 4 skill trees : Biotechnology (hydroponics, aquaponics, genetics, ...), Electronics (build drones and robots), Food Chemistry (Fermentation, Smoking, Sous-Vide cooking, ...) and Biointensive Agriculture (permaculture, bio control, ...)
- Meet epic scientists : from Grace Hopper to Marie Curie, meet over 20 characters inspired by real-life scientists. Make friends and push the community to evolve depending on your actions. Take part in science and tech festivals like a hackathon, a drone race or a challenge to clean up the environment.
- A realistic world : The game is fun, but the science is real! You will find that whether it's about cooking techniques or growing crops, all the game content is inspired from the real world, and so are the colorful characters.
