Summary

Major Features

This beta update introduces the Wide Valley map and a complete UI refactor for the main HUD. Players can now manage Cows and Calves, which provide Milk for the new Cheesemonger workshop.

Logistics & Construction

The Construction Yard allows for dedicated builders and the use of Ox Carts to transport Timber in bulk. A new Advanced Construction mechanic requires these professional builders for specific structures, while unassigned families handle basic site preparation.

Agriculture & Seasons

Oats have been added as a resilient crop, which can be processed into Animal Feed to keep livestock alive during Winter. The new Seasonal Assignment system automates family task rotation throughout the year, and Artisan Active Recipes allow players to set specific production priorities for workshops.
