Versions 8449-8450:

Rolled out New Systems:

Trinity Flora Rollout:

• Trinity is a homebrewed natural resources system that allows for a more randomized yet organize spread of resources through the game-world
• The system is split into three sub-systems: Resource Nodes(Ore, Soil, Gems, etc), Flora and Fauna
• We are slowly rolling out the second sub-system of the three: Flora
• We are doing so gradually and over time, so you should see a change pretty soon
• Each Flora will have its own unique look(And portrait!) as well as their produce(No more using the same leaf appearance for all plants)
• For cutting down trees you will need to attack them to chop them down and must be using either Wood Cutter's Axe or Gardening Sickle to do so. While the sickle allows cutting of trees for more classes, bear in mind it's far less productive than the axe!
• Flora unlike resource nodes are divided into two big groups: Wild Flora, which will spawn around the server on its own, and planted Flora which you can plant in planting zones. These planting zones will be visible in your minimaps.
• Locations of planted Flora will be persistent and the same flora will appear there after a reset. This is not the case with Wild Flora.
• A plant has multiple produce now. You will notice some of them also have flowers/fruits/nuts that have a unique use property. This means they serve as either seed pods(I.E Apple) or seeds themselves(I.E Almond). You can then plant them in dedicated planting zones when you find them. What planting zone matches, which Flora? That is for you to learn!
• Most importantly: The Flora system employs a germination process. A plant will make its life from Seed all the way to mature. Some flora types will have a very short germination process(Mushrooms, Roots, and Flowers), while others much much longer(Trees).
• A Flora placeable is no longer always there to give you produce and after a random amount of picking/harvesting the plant will die. If it's a Wild flora plant, after a short delay another Wild flora will start its germination process around the area. If it is a planted flora you will have to make sure to replant one from the seeds you have.
• The new sub-system is also completely covered by our BI system so that we can monitor all numbers related to it
• As with any new system - Please report any issues/exploits you find
• If you have any questions feel free to ask me personally or in the #crafting channel in Discord
