Founders’ Fortune is a fantasy village builder that focuses not only on the creative aspect of putting up a colony but on colonist psychology as well. After establishing all of the basic structures, how will you take care of your colonists? Well, that’s the overall premise of the game.
Anyway, Founders’ Fortune recently got a new update that introduced hobbies and new sandbox settings.
Hobbies
Back then, your colonists are left to their own devices when relaxing and socializing. However, in the aptly named Hobbies Update, you now have full control over how they spend their time, particularly when having fun.
There are many ways you can increase the fun meter. The easiest is to have your colonists socialize with one another. But that’s not the only thing they can do as the latest patch adds hobbies into the game.
Hobbies are useful in so many ways. For instance, some of your colonists can create wonderful paintings that you can hang up in your village. Musicians can also provide entertainment to your citizens.
Here’s a list of all of the hobbies:
- Painting
- Music
- Woodworking
- Masonry
- Reading
- Writing
- Gardening
New Sandbox Settings
Developer Dionic Software wants you to enjoy Founders’ Fortune the way you want to, so they included a bunch of new sandbox settings in the Hobbies Update.
Now, when you start a new game, you’ll be presented with options to help tailor your experience. You can turn on and off Immortal Colonists, and even remove building costs entirely; perfect for casual gamers.
