MAKING HAFEN GREAT AGAIN!!!!!

[wafflecat]

These sort of mutton chops would be really cool to have:


For hair, I think the "Einstein" and an afro would also be cool:


Also, do you think you'll consider adding a skin color option? Or is that something you definitely wont do?

[Amanda44]

Feel free to post additional hairstyles you'd like to see ...

Please could we have black hair? And if at all possible I would really like to just have mine long and loose, like so;





Also, toolbelts, yay! Great update all round.

Merry Christmas and thank you for all the good updates this year and ofc for Haven itself!

Great Update with nice QoL stuff.

Maybe you could tweak the belts to - additionally to any slots for tools - always have two reserved for keyring and waterflask (with drink key)? It's annoying to scroll them into containers by accident...

Please more of this stuff that makes life more enjoyable. I would like to see this one: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=52068

Items that are assigned to the toolbelt never autoscroll, so you can simply put any item on some unused slot to lock it into the inventory.

Perhaps make water flasks and skins have straps so that we can equip them to the character? Also, like Granger said, at least one permanent additional slot for keyrings would be very nice. Free up some inventory space.

[Flyrella]

Idk if someone suggested that already. Could you make that object for changing hairstyle buildable? Let it be that changing hair color would require pigments and cutting/growing would require like a sharp tool or silk filaments and a brush

[*] Added Hair customization. There is now a Reflecting Pool in the Character creation room, by which you can set hair and beard, color and style. Females have been given a wide selection of the male hairdos as additional options, to compensate them for their lack of beards. The jury is still out on how/if/when already existing characters should be able to modify their looks. Feel free to post additional hairstyles you'd like to see, and do report conflicts between hairdos and other equipment.

[*] Remade the equipment system so that equipment can be hotswitched from the equipment screen. You can, thus, hold a hat and click the equipment screen, to directly switch the hat for your already equipped hat, without first having to explicitly unequip the latter. Long overdue.

[*] Added toolbelts. All belts now have a varying amount of tool equipment slots. Tools in toolbelts will be automatically switched in to relevant hand slots as needed. For example: If you have a saw in your toolbelt, the character will automatically try to switch in the saw to an available hand slot when you go to saw boards, scythes will switch in when you go to harvest crops, axes when you go to chop wood, &c. If you assign a tool or weapon to a hotkey, you will switch it in and equip it, from the tool belt, using that key.

[*] Added bigger gates, suggested multiple places, but among others here. When you place a cornerpost in preparation for a gate, you may now choose to place the second cornerpost two or three tiles apart, by simply holding the placement cursor farther away. If the latter, you will place and build a three tile wide gate, rather than a two tile wide one. Otherwise pretty self-explanatory. May add even larger gates in the future.

[*] Added "Cistern". A fixed fluid container which holds 2000 liters. Suggested here among other places.

For real though, cool update. Enjoy the holidays. Be sure to keep us updated on your plans though.

It looks like ducks spawn on shallow water, but can swim to deep water and also fly away quickly when approached. Idk how to catch them

[Tammer]

Running after a flying duck on a horse kills the duck from trampling. Even though it's flying.

watch out for low flying ducks!
