In today’s devlog, we’ll continue exploring the Caravan Upgrade System, which brings us to the second part of the upgrade tree - “Restoration”. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28578038/1081d0a080cb5520aeae34ec0edb27295104fc15.png[/img] True to its name, the “Restoration” path is dedicated to maximizing the efficacy of resting at the Caravan. It comes with 6 upgrades that are focused on either improving the quality of your Character’s sleep or introducing more utility to the Camp. [i]We’d like to remind you that Caravan Upgrades are completely separate from the Leveling System and don’t require Ability Points - all upgrades are unlocked exclusively by purchasing prerequisite items.[/i] [h2]Restoration[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28578038/eba67f33e086c3c5692005bbda597ea294e3d449.png[/img] [h3]Straw Bed[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28578038/bc98a8b099a8cbcf0d7612fa760238346cd76904.png[/img] [b]Requirements:[/b] basic upgrade (available from the start) [b]Effect:[/b] adds a sleeping spot to the Caravan Camp [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28578038/a6e46e180bd3c33e0146c6fccb589afd427e196a.png[/img] [h3]Small Tent[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28578038/108342230fa47d267185e3e03676958fa069efac.png[/img] [b]Requirements:[/b] Canvas Roll, Rope, Spool of Thread (х2), Straw (х3) [b]Effect:[/b] sleeping at the Caravan Camp grants “Vigor” Sleeping at the Caravan reduces Fatigue 100% more effectively [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28578038/16479e4d050793736fa30ef1f8b6da6c60f31bd2.png[/img] [h3]Roomy Tent[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28578038/ff034db711be59a9325db7e4ebb463c11095e8c9.png[/img] [b]Requirements:[/b] Hardy Tent Cloth, Rope (х2), Spool of Thread (х4), Straw (х5) [b]Effect:[/b] sleeping at the Caravan Camp grants two stacks of “Vigor” [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28578038/b948643f172ea5cc86bfedde5dedb35dad60e646.png[/img] [h3]Shrine[/h3] This upgrade adjusts to your Character’s race and religion: Humans will be able to set up a “Praying Spot”, Elves - a “Meditation Spot”, and Dwarves - an “Offering Spot”.
