Patch Notes — April 22, 2026

🌧️ Rainy Weather

Thornfeld now has real weather! Every few hours a rainstorm may sweep across the land.

  • Free watering — every dry surface plant (trees, stumps, wheat) is watered automatically as the rain hits.
  • Frequency — rolls every 3 hours with a 15% chance, and storms last 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Mushrooms are spared — they grow underground, so you still water those yourself.
  • Visual — the sky darkens and rain falls across your screen during the storm.

The Cyclopedia (Ranching tab) and the Wiki both have a new "Weather & Rain" section with the full details.

🔧 Small Changes

  • The old shader picker hotkey (Ctrl+Y) has been disabled. It was a development tool — the entry is removed from Options > General Hotkeys.
