Emerald Woods – Builder [0.2.15]

A new version of Emerald Woods, the chill no-combat solo farming, building, and exploration roguelike where you can die, is now available!

Play for free for now (online/windows) at https://slash.itch.io/emerald-woods, we are still in an “Earlier Access” phase, so let us know any suggestions you have in the discord!

The starting cabin has been enlarged and a tool shed has been added to it so you can jump straight into action if you want to skip exploring to find them (or in case you lose a tool). The campfire inside of it has been replaced with a proper cooking stove in the kitchen area.

I have finally implemented the “enclosed space” calculations; which means you will be able to sleep safely in any enclosed space (no need to have a campfire if that’s the case). This means you can now build a small shelter in a cave opening or sleep in abandoned stations or cabins.

The cost to build walls has been drastically reduced, both in stamina, time, and resources; this means you will now be able to build much more, and more freely! the weight of resources such as stone and wood has been greatly reduced as well.

Mining the mountains now takes less effort; the number of hits required to obtain stone and break the mountain tile has been reduced and is now random.

Windows have been added for the three different types of walls: wooden, stone, and brick. You can now craft brick walls too, using clay and stone.

The onboarding has been updated with some useful tips after finishing the first phase.

Finally, 36 different clues, in the shape of letters, memos, articles, and tapes, have been added.
