I was gonna Do a huge news update post- but I realized it had been too long since I updated the news.. soo heres what we'll call part 1!
We've been working on alot of stuff and I apologize for the radio silence! If you're on discord you can see the smaller updates- so heres the compilation of what we've got so far!


Apothecary shop  (shops->plants)

Theres a new store open for herbalism. Its called the apothecary and Zenon will be glad to help you with all of your herbalist needs!

Adding onto this there is now the ability to forage on certain maps. And you will find items to help you make medicines for pets among other things. As well as new recipes! (we are still adding more plants/recipes as we go- this feature isnt completely finished but it works!)

Pet companions

After working on it for two days you can now equip pet companions to your pets. Each companion (minus certain special ones of course) takes three of the Avatar item and one life egg to create
as with everything we will add more as we go.



Beehives
While foraging in the meadow you can now run across Worker bees and Queen bees. There is also a new area of your house for keeping those bees.

once you get there you'll find you have to open them then buy each hive.

In my case I already own 3 other hives. You have to buy the hive before it before you can get the next one.
Each hive can hold one queen and up to 5 workers. The page is I think pretty easy to navigate.
However The amount of things you get depends on how many workers you have in the hive- For info on rewards when harvesting you can go here.
You need both at least one worker and a queen in each hive to get any honey, then you wait 7 days after adding them and honey is ready to harvest! (it looks like this ) if you remove the queen or have 0 workers the clock resets and you have to start over. So if you plan to its better to harvest the honey BEFORE you remove any bees.
