Verdant Idea

Before you update

While existing worlds should be compatible, please note that existing wildflowers will be removed from the world.

This version does not include most of the planned progression and quest changes. The goal behind this build is to ensure stability and to find major issues early in the development cycle and to allow early feedback.

Main Additions

• Added Ecostabilizer, which is a new multiblock central to the updated progression
• (WIP) The world is now split into 5 ecosystems; placed ecostabilizer adapts itself to the ecosystem found
• Added Bird Feeder, which can be used to feed birds for new items
• Added The Path to Restoration chapter that shows the main milestones in the progression
• (WIP) Added Wildlife Conservation chapter that includes all of the (not fully just yet) obtainable animals
• Major quests now grant relevant animal plushies
