We are bringing you a bunch of new stuff and a lot of bug fixes. Are you curious what they might be? Here is what The Second Chapter has in store: ##### NEW DESTINATIONS Once again, we are adding 2 new destinations to Raft; Caravan Town with a desert biome and the abandoned city of Tangaroa. Beside these, there are also new smaller islands coming in the style of Caravan Town. ##### NEW ENEMIES ##### Mudhogs Habitating Caravan Town, these piggies are quite fast and dangerous! ##### Butler Bots Watch out! These butler bots who are wandering Tangaroa aimlessly might look friendly at first but they will shock you... Literally... ##### NEW FEATURES & ITEMS ##### Battery Charger It is finally here! Maybe the most asked for features, battery charger is now available to find and craft. No more throwing away dead batteries! ##### Zipline Weeee! We wanted to make getting to places on the new destinations and on your raft a bit more fun and added ziplines! Careful before you jump, as you will need the zipline tool to use them! ##### Automated Water System With the new water tank, electric purifier and water pipes you will be able to build your own automated water system and connect it to sprinklers. This way, your animals will no longer be sad and your plants will thank you for not forgetting to water them! ##### Metal Detector It is time for some treasure hunting! Beside a new resource, there are a bunch of new items waiting to be dg up by Maya and Rouhi! ##### Bigger Storage With all the new items coming to the game, we thought you might need a bigger storage! Try the new storage item to keep things nice and tidy! ##### Cassettes and Piano Raft gets musical! We are now adding cassettes with different genres which you can use in the radio! And if you get inspired from the new soundtracks and want to make your own music, a piano will also be waiting for you! ##### AND MORE! ##### New Plants, Decoration Items and 2 New Colors It is important to eat fresh fruits often even if you are stranded on the ocean! Now you will be able to munch on some bananas and strawberries as well as grow them on your raft. You will need to find them first though! Talking about plants, we are adding even more of them! If you are a plant-lover like us, you might want to re-decorate your raft and open up some space for them! Furthermore, we are adding paintings, new decorative items and 2 new colors(light grey and dark grey)! You can now make your raft even cosier! ##### Community Built Main Menu Rafts As we mentioned in DevBlog#40, we had an event on our discord server back in february to replace the main menu raft! The winner rafts will now welcome you to the game, a different one each time you start the game! Here are the winners and their rafts which you will be seeing from now on! We hope you are as excited as we are about all the new content! You can also read the full list of all the changes and bug fixes coming out with this update in the "Changelog" and "Bug Fixes" below. We can't wait for you to play The Second Chapter and hope that you will enjoy it! Good luck and have fun Rafters! //Raft HQ P.S.
