Devlog 49: 🍒 New Fruit Trees & Plant Mutation
Hey there, Pachan Farmers! It’s time for another chapter of the Pachan Prophecies. In today’s update, we’re unveiling more details about fruit trees and plant mutations. As always, this is the point where you can stop reading if you wish to explore the new additions on your own. 😄
New Fruit Trees
Once you complete the main story, you will be given a new quest. During this process, you’ll get new plants, such as a cacao tree, a fig tree, and a vanilla orchid growing on its host tree, that you can bring back to your farm.
We really wanted to include the cacao tree in some way, since chocolate is a highly influential plant in our collective history. While it is easily found in our world now, its origins trace back to the cacao plant, believed to have originated in the northern parts of the Amazon rainforest. Its rich flavor and cultural significance spread across Central and South America before eventually reaching the global stage.
In Roots of Pacha, you will be able to use cacao beans to make hot cocoa, a recipe you’ll get by befriending a tea-loving Yakuan you may have already met in festivals.
Plant Mutation
Similar to animal mutation tokens you’ll find in the new caves, you’ll discover seeds of this ancient knowledge that had been hidden away. A familiar yet new plant that you can choose to plant in its original or newer version.
As with other seeds, once you discover this variety, you’ll be able to get more seeds from Igrork and plant whichever variation you prefer. Once you complete the new cave quest, you’ll also get recipes that use these new plants.
We look forward to seeing how you use these new plants on your farm! We absolutely love the hard work the artists put into their designs, and we think you will too.
Thank you for your continued support! ❤️
You rock!
