Hey there folks !
Crunch time is over! While there is so much more that I wish I could have ready before another pre-alpha release , I am long overdue to put another build out there. I've set a tentative release date of the 24th October for pre-alpha v 0.2 .
I like the idea of these 2 week crunch cycles , while I don't get quite as much sleep as I would like (who does ? ;) ) I feel they really help me focus on getting stuff done come hell or high water :)
Now on to the change log !

- Optimized AI NavNode collection.AI now searches for NavNodes within a certain distance and adds those to its list of known nodes.This also applies to palm trees and their respective nodes.
- Dates can be 'farmed' by interacting with Palm trees once you've crafted a [ Rough Stone Hammer.] Each one contains a random number of dates with a maximum of 6 , after all the palm's dates have been 'farmed' they will regenerate after a random cool down period of up to 2 minutes.
- Water can also be collected from Wells once you have crafted a [Waterskin].Each Well has a random amount of water and once it is expended the Well will dry up, use with care and take only what you need !
- Boulder’s can be mined for [Rough Stone] with a random maximum number mine able , once expended Boulders are destroyed.
- Coded Furnace with preliminary crafting functionality(requiring further refinement and expansion).

Best Regards and Much Love
