There’s a new update for Settlement Survival that you can now download in the game’s alpha or testing branch. Patch v0.84.287.119 adds new features and optimizations, most of which are centered around resources.
First and foremost, two new resources are added in Settlement Survival : Gold and Jade, both available in standard and sandbox mode. Second, Fertile Soil and Grassland now have a degeneration mechanism in place. This adds a bit more realism to the game because if you do not tend to these lands, they will most likely not be suitable for planting crops and seeds.
Patch v0.84.287.119 also brought some new features and optimizations. For one, a new button is added that allows you to show or hide resource points on the map. Moreover, 12 new citizen models are added that change appearance as time goes by, all available in both standard and sandbox mode.
