Today we're releasing a new content pack: Laurel Pack, featuring Rome-themed clothings, farm items, decorations and furniture!
Remember that you can get the content packs with an additional 42% discount if you purchase the Farm Together DLC collection (items you already own are deducted from the price, so it's always the best possible deal!): https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/9059/Farm_Together_DLC_Collection/
Not fancy of paid content? Don't worry, this update comes with free content as well, such as new clothings! As usual, we plan on adding more free content over the next weeks, and a new event starts soon!

Honorable mention: "When you try and take a nice pic, your dog comes and photobombs" by pepper812
New features:
New content pack: Laurel pack
New clothings: TShirt, Anorak
New earrings: Diamond earrings (unisex).
Improvements:
You can now configure Split screen between horizontal and vertical (only for 2 players).
Changed the header file to a new data format, that has proven being more reliable than the older one (caused many people to lose character progress and event unlocks), and we've also added an automatic backup of this header file. This upgrade should be performed automatically.
Changed the way farm data is saved so it's done faster and taking up less memory. Should lead to less/shorter hiccups while saving on slower computers.
Today's update brings a new feature we've been working on for a while, Split-Screen multiplayer!
With this feature, up to 4 players can play on the same screen. We've made sure it works properly, but if you find any issues with it, please let us know!
To enable Split screen mode: While on the main menu, press X on another controller. You'll be able to select any preset previously made, or use randomized presets if you want to get right into the action!
Today's Farm Showcase: "Redid my bus stop area :D" by tiffylizzy
Honorable mention: Untitled by Enveie

New items:
House decorations: Wall partition, big Speaker
2 New Clothings
New boy piercing and earrings
Monocle glasses
3 New Rock, Paper, Scissors emote

Should have fixed strange teleport issues when loading your farm after visiting another.
Today's update brings a new building that many of you have been asking for!
The Farmhands Union building allows you to pay all their wages at once, so it's pretty useful if you have many farmhands spread around the farm.
We're also bringing more under-the-hood changes in preparation for the big feature that, hopefully, we'll release next week. If you find any issue please report it!

Bugfixes:
Fixed being unable to control the pause menu with a controller if pausing while moving down-right.
Fixed time not advancing at the proper pace (depending on the framerate, seasons would take 5-20 seconds longer than expected).
Today marks the beginning of a new event, the Lucky Harvest!
Feeling lucky? Try harvesting tons of Lucky Clovers to get fantastic new items. Let's chase the rainbow's end!
We're also delivering an update with minor bugfixes and improvements. Nothing big, as we've been working on a big feature that is not yet ready, but should be soon!

Bugfixes:

Fixed mexican house exit position (you won't fall off the farm if it was placed on the outer border).
Today's update brings a new much-requested feature to the table: You can now save a list of different outfit/pet/vehicle configurations, and select which one you want to use at each time!
Ideal if you are sharing the same account with other people, and it also is the first step towards our long-term goal of adding split-screen multiplayer (Note: It's still a long way before we have news on this).
We're also adding a few new items such as new hair colors or the hazelnut tree, check the full changelog below!
