After years of silence, the development of Country Life resumes. Many new features, and a lot of bug fixing:

- Optimized the visibility algorithm for cells blocked by obstacles

- Working the terrain requires a shovel

- Fences can only be demolished if they belong to the player.

- The working tile is indicated (e.g., digging or tree cutting).

- In scenario 2 (Alien Invasion), the alien landing zone is indicated with a pink rectangle on the minimap.

- The interaction with village inhabitants has been improved. They now have names, provide information about the village, and can purchase the goods they need.

- The player has a house with a different design, and the interior can be used for various activities, including storing resources.

- New page: the weather history of the last 20 days. Useful for predicting upcoming days (important for farming)

- Unfortunately, saves from previous versions are not compatible.
