New building: Teeth Grindstone (1 slot).Installed directly in water, this compact attraction ensures your beavers stay in water for a longer period of time. New building: Water Jet (Iron Teeth-only, 1 slot).Thanks to its long pipe submerged in water, this thing makes your beavers wet even if theyвЂ™re working well above the water surface. New building: Shower (Folktails-only, 1 slot).Temporary statuses - countermeasuresДЄlright, alright, we donвЂ™t want your beavers to just suffer! The chance of receiving and the duration of a received injury differ between workplaces.

Injuries decrease walking speed by 50% and cause the beaver to refuse to work until healed. Every few hours, all beavers working in factories have a chance of receiving an Injury (a temporary status that had already been inflicted by exploding golems).The more trees they cut, the more likely it is to happen. Lumberjacks will now occasionally break teeth, reducing their effectiveness. Bees from Beehives will now sometimes sting nearby beavers which results in the beaver feeling unhappy, thanks to its swollen face. For some time after leaving the water, beavers gain a 5% increased walking speed as well as immunity to Overheating. After spending too much time in the heat of drought, beavers suffer from a heatstroke (read: -10% working speed and -10% walking speed). Now, weвЂ™re expanding this system to cover the post-apocalyptic fate of regular beavers, too. You have already seen certain temporary statuses thanks to the addition of golems. Temporary statuses and where to find them We hope you'll like what we're adding today. At the same time, we have another area where we can add more raw, lore-friendly content - such as teeth grinders, dandelions, medical beds, and healer huts.The ability to add negative effects allows us to expand existing features when it makes sense, for example by adding stinging bees to Beehives, broken teeth for lumberjacks, and work injuries of varying likelihood and severity in workplaces.With overheating in place, droughts become a deeper threat thatвЂ™s harder to ignore. Similarly, extended lack of sleep or shelter now meaningfully affects beaversвЂ™ behaviour.It did not have any bad consequences, except perhaps on the playerвЂ™s conscience. Keeping your beavers starved or dehydrated used to be a good strategy to reduce food and water consumption - and you could fix an excessive hunger with a few carrots.Before, we had to shelve many cool ideas that, without any way to nerf them, could ruin the gameвЂ™s difficulty curve. ItвЂ™s a tool to counterbalance overpowered mechanics, both existing ones and those that we will introduce in the future.Let us explain why weвЂ™ve decided to torment your already miserable-at-times beavers with more negative effects. ItвЂ™s a good moment for a follow-up to our developerвЂ™s log.
