A new patch for the survival city builder Farthest Frontier is here. Update v0.7.6 brings plenty of improvements and bug fixes, making the game much easier for new players.
Farthest Frontier starts at Pioneer difficulty, and the game gets increasingly hard as time progresses. That said, the starting food for this difficulty level is increased, so that new players will not have to worry about foraging for food in the beginning.
Aside from that, building upkeep in Update v0.7.6 accumulates seasonally now instead of monthly. This change will give players more time to finish their current upkeep tasks before additional materials are needed.
For bug fixes, the issue where building production would sometimes not resume after the building was not condemned has been resolved. This patch also addresses the problem where villagers could sometimes get stuck in terrain.
