New Inhabitants are arriving to Torridge Island. These green villagers are naturally found in sandy areas of the island and are proficient in mining for resources. Mix and match these villagers into the other two tribes to build mines.

Mines are a new building type that like farms can't be moved by the giant and takes 1 green villager to build. Once a villager enters the mine they will take 60 seconds before emerging with a gift. This can contain either a stone, a star or a tear.

When using boats, green villagers will try and sail far away from the island to recruit new inhabitants from far off lands, so make sure they don't crash into any land mass along the way!

This Update adds:

• Green villagers
  
• Green village type
  
• Mines
  
• New Houses

Alongside some tweaks and bug fixes:

• Foundations of buildings aren't visible when being carried by the giant.
  
• Villagers that have been moved to a new biome can no-longer start builds until the next day (they can still help in already started projects).
  
• Fixed boats placed at the world limits being trapped outside of the island bounds.
  
• Fixed issue where killing a villager without a set town would result in a kill loop.
  
• Villagers will no longer spawn in water when a new day starts.
  
• Fixed issue where new villagers could be stuck in a thinking animation while walking.
  
• Fixed eating fish animation being cut off.

The Villagers on the island have been hard at work improving their abilities for this new update!

Boats:
Boats can only be built by blue villagers, however any colour villager can use them by simply putting a villager in the boat and then placing them in the ocean.

Blue Villagers will begin to fish while red villagers will sail to and from the island dropping presents at any port they land on. Once both finally return back to shore they may struggle with finding their way home if their village isn’t close by, so make sure to either help them back or set up a new village when they arrive.

Boats are fragile, so if the Giant gets in the way of a boat the villagers are at a great risk of drowning so be careful!

Builders:
The way building works in The Giant of Torridge Island has been completely reworked, giving you more control over what gets built.

Villagers still need to gather both wood and stone resources before attempting to build, however their capacity to find these on their own has been improved.

Once space has been made to build rather than simply setting up the scaffolding and walking off, you can now actively see the villagers working on the project. Multiple villagers can now work on the same project, with each builder added making the end result bigger and better.

Here’s a key of current buildings and how many villagers are required to build them:

Red Villagers:
1 builder: Farm (can now be built in all biomes)
2 builders: House
3 builders+: Windmill

Blue Villagers:
1 builder: Boat
2 builders+: Igloo

Now that this new system is in place, expect more potential buildings to be added soon!

Some unfortunate news: Taddiport and Shebbear are being removed as maps as once again there are problems with the new mechanics being implemented into them. The plan is for them to be remade completely once app game mechanics have been finalised.

Challenge mode is also being temporary disabled, however this is due to it being completely reworked for a future update, however it is currently not playable by the time this update goes live, sorry about that.
