Patch Notes — May 5, 2026: Clay & Nail Deposits + Quest Indicators

Two More Storage Deposits

The deposit family grows by two. Same generic system as the others — bulk store one resource type, retrieve via the numeric window, supply construction sites by use-with, dump everything on the floor with a hammer hit:

  • Clay Deposit — 8 planks + 12 nails. Holds up to 1000 Clay Lumps. Pair it with a roofing project and you finish a full Tiled or Thatched Roof without ever opening the bin.
  • Nail Deposit — 6 planks + 8 nails. Holds up to 1000 Nails. Cheaper to build than the others (it's a small box, not a silo) and probably the deposit you'll use most — almost every construction needs nails.

Both buildable from the Building Book under Furniture, both work with all the existing deposit interactions out of the box.

NPC Quest Indicators

NPCs now show a quest icon above their head for each player individually when there is a pending interaction — a new mission to accept, or a finished mission to turn in. The icon is per-player: another player who already finished the quest sees the normal chat bubble on the same NPC. No more wondering which NPC has work for you.

  • Greta Holloway shows the indicator at every accept/turn-in moment of the Earning Your Keep arc — and hides it during in-progress field work so you're not nagged while you're already busy harvesting wheat or rebuilding the fence.
  • Bailiff Roderic shows it when you're carrying Greta's sealed letter and need to deliver it upstairs.

Future quest givers will plug into the same system as we add more content.

As always, feedback on Discord!
