Hello everyone,

• Players have now the ability to grow crops and build settlements.
  After the seeds are planted in a gardening bed it will take 24 hours (real time) to grow to a stage where they can be harvested. Gardening beds can be crafted using a gardening shed.
  A total number of 23 settlements can be build using a basic workshop. After a settlement has been placed it will take 24 hours (real time) to provide resources. Only after all the resources have been collected, the settlement will start producing again.
  
  
• A new animal was added: Oberhasli Goat - 2 coat colors;
  
• A new animal was added: Shetland Pony - 3 coat colors;
  
• A new animal was added: Swan Goose;
  
• A new animal was added: Eurasian Brown Bear;
  
• Most of the maps were slightly updated;
  
• Two new coat colors were added for the Mustang;
  
• Flaxen chestnut mustang is no longer sold by the animal trader and can be found in the wild now. The trader is now selling a rare pony instead;
  
• Sliders for grass draw distance & camera draw distance were added in Graphics Options Menu (lower values will increase performance);
  
• New food recipes were added;
  
• Several new craftable items were added;
  
• Some models were replaced;
  
  
  Hotfix v2.5A:
• small fixes for settlements and newly added buildings
  
• EXPERIMENTAL: Potential fix for the people who cannot save the game. Added "ALT SAVE PATH" toggle in the Main Menu -> Options -> Game. When "Yes" is selected the game will save the files in "My Documents \ My Games \ Animallica \ SaveData" instead of the classic location. By default this setting comes disabled. Activate this only if you cannot save the game at all, and/or the game crashes all the time when you travel between scenes.
  
  
  Hotfix v2.5B:
• 7 new potted plants were added to the crafting menu;
  
• increased the spawn for some of the new vegetable plants;
  
• Fixed couple of bugs with the new gardening beds;
  
• Fix some bugs with the settlements;
  
• Adjusted snapping mechanics;
  
• Other minor bugfixes;
  
  A new flat, empty island will arrive in a hotfix in a couple of days, helping you to spread out if your base is getting too crowded or laggy.
  
  Thank you for your support and patience!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Since is probably the most impressive and beautiful settlement ever build in First-person game, we thought it would be a good idea to show it here too.

Please try to ignore de low FPS, the amount of animals and vegetation he placed is really huge. There are over 30.000 items hand placed by the player in an enviroment already pretty heavy on performance.

Big thanks to pfoster7 aka Ogre for taking the time to build it and catching the exact spirit of the game and WilD JeSTeR for showcasing it!

In the near future we are planning to hold monthly design contests with nice prizes. Players could send us their creations (we can choose a theme each month), then make a small showcase like this with all the entries and viewers
will vote for the winner.

Hello everyone,
