New Implementations
-----------------------
- Added "Wilderness Skis". Craft, mount, hit the powder. Can be carried on the back much like a "Coracle".
- Forest and Pave type tiles now have their own snow map textures, leaving the terrain more differentiated during winter.
- One winter specific curiosity added.
Key Fixes
-----------------------
- Using the "Dig" command, you can now remove ice from shallow water using an axe.
- Removed (effectively, at least) the timer from harvesting crops.
- Scythes now harvest 2x3 tiles in front of the character per swipe.
Small Fixes
-----------------------
- Pepper now gives "Bum Burn" for each peppered food item eaten rather than 10% of the time.
- The base effect of pepper at Q10 increased from a 25% FEP bonus to a 50% bonus.
- The "Grind Pepper" recipe now gives, randomly, between 3 and 5 units of pepper, rather than one.
- Saplings now die after 24 RL hours, rather than 8.
As always, if you liked what we did here: Support the patch.
Today's Patch Item, for the fair price of $9, is the "Hatter's Top".

All Gold & Silver subscribers have been awarded the "Hatter's Top", free of charge.
In the Pipe
-----------------------
- As you may be able to surmise, we decided, in regards to the question we asked last week, to leave seasons in, at least for now, and take the opportunity to make changes aiming at making them more palatable. We appreciate all input given, sympathize with both sides of the argument, and have nuanced views on the matter. Feel free to opine about spring. Does spring have other problems besides the lack of tree seeds?
- We are working on a conversation system for quest givers, which is currently our bigger project (tm). Making progress, but patches may not be weekly.
- Again urging any custom client maker who wishes to stay relevant to get with the new rendering times. Support for the old resources will be dropped at some point.
- Our primary development direction is toward object-controlled-objects.
