Rain for plants // Availability for Unix-OS

[jhn^]

Thanks for the game, love it!

Two suggestions:
1) Rain is water - I didn't water my crops (cabbage) because it was raining. The next day they were dead, dried out. Or was it another problem (change of season)?
2) Would be great to play Dinkum on a Mac / Linux. But no hurries :)

Already works fine on Linux. Not native but through proton. I use it all the time that way as I dont have Windows on any PC in the house. Even one of the kids now plays this game.

That was change of season. I regularly let rain water my crops when going Deep Mining (before I got Irrigation).

I'm also pretty sure not watering crops causes them to fail to grow that day, rather than dying. By that I mean, I have observed lack of growth, but there's been a minor game update since the last time I had unwatered crops so it's possible that changed. I don't believe it has, unless it didn't make it into the Patch Notes.
