Hi everyone,
for this experimental build we were mainly focusing on adding Hemp as Plant and also as a Crafting material for Small Rope. There are new Tables, new Bed and a collectible Candle Stand. The Raft mechanic was improved.
To switch between stable and experimental game builds make sure game properties in your Steam client are set to either "Experimental" or "None" (which is the stable branch).
The Hemp can be found wildly grow on islands (although it is a little rare). It can be directly used as Craft ingredient or it's seeds can be collected and used to planting in Cultivated Field. The Hemp Stem can be used now only for crafting Small rope - which itself adds more possibilities to the game play. There will be more usages of Hemp which will be added in future versions.
The Tables for now are used to increase the comfort and the storage space but in the future they will get some interesting feature too.
The new Grass Beds and Plank Stool are a nice addition to the furniture variety and make the life of the survivor a little easier.
The new collectible Candle Stand offers more stable placement of the Candles. The current system of the Candle placement will be changed in the next versions and the Candle Stands (more types to add in the near future) will get more importance.
