Crate Entertainment has big plans in store for Farthest Frontier. When its August update launches, players will find many new features to explore, including the Religion system, a new industry, guild halls, and much more. The team is excited about the upcoming patch as it brings the game closer to its v1.0 launch. Over a million players have joined the fray, tasked with protecting and guiding their band of settlers.
One of the cooler features is the new Religion System that allows players to shape their own faith. The settlers need something to believe in and players can make that happen through relics, ancient objects that inspire reverence. Each relic has its own set of perks to bolster towns.
Players can also get to paper creation as the new Industry. Turn flax into paper at the papermill before sending it to the bookbinder. It also means that libraries can now be constructed for entertainment. Paper is also used in the bureaucracy, nowhere more prolifically than in a Guild Hall, also a new addition to the game.
Developers won’t be resting on their laurels either. They have detailed several other systems that will make their way into the game ahead of v1.0.
Coming soon
- Combat: Expect to defend your settlement against new raider types equipped with catapults that can quickly put an end to passive defenses (like those beefy triple wall stacks you thought would keep raiders out). With new threats come new ways to defend your settlement, recruit soldiers, including ranged-only archers, and construct new towers to take out turrets. With all of this also comes new controls for deploying your troops and managing your army with the Town Center, including the ability to recruit soldiers before you build your barracks.
- New Animals: Cows are great and all, but a thriving frontier deserves more. New animals will be added throughout Early Access, including chickens, horses, and goats.
- Achievements: Achievement hunters can look forward to Farthest Frontier shipping with an array of achievements along with Steam Trading Cards arriving in the future as well.
- Mod Support: Full mod support will be implemented in the future via Steam Workshop.
- Quality of Life: Lots of quality of life changes will be arriving in the coming months, including changes to storage transfers/limits, raider info, crop summaries, notifications and immigration quest history, and more.
