Hello everyone!
Update time.
First, a small announcement before I forget.
This is the last week in which containers with old liquids will be allowed to exist, so make sure you empty all your containers of old liquid before update 21 or they will get destroyed. This includes large containers like puddles, cave puddles, raincatchers and reservoirs.
Now, to the content list:
Partridge Improvements:
You can now build a partridge feeder to make it easier to keep your birds fed. It can be filled with any type of food and will run out of contents faster the more partridges you have. You can only have one feeder per enclosure for now.
Partridges now have a stress level. They can be stressed by not having food as well as by being in an overcrowded enclosure. Stressed partridges will be less likely to lay eggs.
By the way, the coop is now called animal enclosure, in preparation for some of the new tameable animals that will be introduced in future updates.
Partridges are no longer born pregnant, males now need to be captured and released into the same enclosure as females if one wants to breed more birds. The more males in an enclosure the higher the chances that a female partridge will lay fertilised eggs.
Eggs will now retain their progress when picked up and release a chick when hatched. Chicks will grow into female or male partridges after a while. Seagulls can eat them too, so be careful!
Lastly, partridges can now be released back into the wild to increase their population (up to the max. population the island can support, any extra ones will just get lost). So you'll no longer have to leave your partridges to die when you leave the island. :)
Animal Raid Improvements:
- Food you are carrying in your hands will no longer increase the chances of triggering animal raids.
- Seagulls will now only annoy you if you have food lying around on the ground. Food in inventories will no longer attract them.
- Mouse Damage events will now only trigger if there's food outside of inventories.
- Chances for all animal raids have been tweaked.
General Tweaks:
- Animal Raids have been tweaked

- Clay Vases need a bit more clay, but they now also need less temper.
- The Reservoir is now more expensive to build and stores a bit less water.
- Training with weapons now takes longer.
- You can no longer slip in the rocks.
