Patch 0.1.1 is here!
This update focuses on a few things that quickly came up while watching people play the demo: making trail removal much less frustrating, giving you a little more freedom at the start of a game… and planting a lot more trees.
✏️ Better trail removal
The trail removal tool has been completely reworked.
Previously, right-clicking a trail could remove an entire section, sometimes considerably more than you intended.
Now, trails are erased meter by meter, giving you much more precise control over what you want to change.
And you don't have to click fifty times to erase a longer section: keep the button pressed and the tool will continuously remove chunks of the same trail.
Fix a corner, shorten a trail or completely rethink a connection without accidentally deleting half the mountain.
Much better.
🎒 More starting resources
We've also increased the resources available when starting a new game.
You now begin with:
- 200m of trail
- 4 lift tokens
- 4 snow cannons instead of 1
- 20 tree removals instead of 0
- 4 upgrades instead of 0
The amount of trail and number of lift tokens remain unchanged, but the additional tools should give you significantly more room to react to the mountain from the very beginning.
Especially those tree removals.
Which brings us to…
🌲 Denser forests
You thought the tree cutting tool was useless?
Think again.
Forests are now considerably denser.
Trees should feel like an actual part of the terrain you need to work around rather than the occasional decorative obstacle. Sometimes you'll find a way through them.
Sometimes you'll have to spend a few precious tree removals.
And sometimes a perfectly placed tree will ruin your entire plan.
As nature intended.
---
As always, thanks to everyone playing the demo and sending us feedback. A lot of the changes in this patch come directly from watching where things felt unnecessarily frustrating or where some of the game's tools weren't useful enough yet.
Keep building questionable ski resorts.
We'll keep improving the mountain.
