Changelog - v0.1.14.2219

🔷 New ownable business: The Goods Store!
🔷 Pick items and set their prices at each podium.

• Customers will browse and comment on items, giving you hints on what they are after and if the price is right.
• Sell any animals you own as well. Make sure to feed them to keep them healthy enough for sale!

🔷 Customers will occasionally come by with items to trade-in which might get you a bargain to sell on
🔷 Hire staff to run the counter by choosing from existing NPC's in the local haven.

• Each has their own unique stats making them more or less suited to the role and affecting what level of pay they expect.
• Over time they'll gain experience and level up to improve their stats.
• Be aware that they'll expect wage increases when their stats level up and when the shop is doing well!
• Workers have a stamina gauge that will go down each hour that they work.
• If stamina gets too low, their ability to work will be impacted - balance their workload and feed them to boost their stamina back up.

🔷 Gain Reputation with good customer service and reasonable prices, all of which raises your region and world Reputation.

• Reputation will slowly rise for your shop's local region and will eventually spill over into world reputation.
• Higher Reputation unlocks various perks to get more customers, allow higher prices, better bartering skill, unlocks customers from faraway regions, among other perks.
• Each region has their own preferred items which, along with the price of an item and stats of the worker, will affect how much Reputation you gain or lose. These might swing the balance of how often that region visits your store.
• (The Reputation system is still Work-In-Progress and will likely change to a more player customisable system in a future update.)

🔷 The Blacksmith Shop now allows a second worker to carry out the crafting! Their stats affect the success and quality of the results.
🔷 To aid with the second worker, the Blacksmith Shop now has its own stock of ore which you can order for when you don't want to contribute your own. Higher levels of Reputation will unlock better ore to buy.
🔷 The Goods Store and Blacksmith Shop are now available for purchase in Poppyhill (with their own music variations as well).
🔷 Ledger has had some improvements for the additional sections now available.

• You can access a transactions list from the Accounts tab to track exactly what has gone on in your shop recently.
• For help on any screen, you can press F1 or click the left thumbstick to bring up an info panel.

🔷 First pass noticeboard added to Candlewych. For now this just adds events to the calendar of things that happen in Festival Green.
🔷 Setup for strawberry and blueberry jam recipes.
