Thank you all so much for everything this past year, you've all really helped me out a lot!
Systems
Save and Loading
Started working on adding the Goblins to the Save and Load system.
Got them working with Chairs! After an initial bug XD
1743
1744
Saving now saves Goblins appearance!
1745
I went for this early because those variables are all setup (though I'm going to add move variation) and because I have to turn an array into a grid, save it, then convert back again. So it's a bit fiddly!
Added Stats!
1746
Added pretty much everything else, I've skipped Inventory for now though. I kind of want to rework it. The generation code is fine, but how I'm doing what they can buy/sell is a bit convoluted!
Orchards and Farms and Apiaries (added after this gif) have been added to the Save System.
1773
House and Job ownership is now saved too.
1775
Pathfinding
Fixed an issue where Goblins wouldn't actually get into bed but would still be in it
1746
1748
Found a bug where on rare occasions Goblins would get stuck standing next to a chair they used to be sitting in.
1782
Ended up adding separate states for entering and exiting objects, but this didn't fix the issue. Seems they were getting stuck without a path possibly by being not entirely off the chair. So I added an extra Else statement at the end to check if they were still interacting with something but at position 0 in a path. Seems to have fixed it!
Items
Made it so you can throw Snowballs.
1779
It's a bit janky, since Goblins don't have real hitboxes, only their placement box for movement, so I had to fudge the collision check. Eventually I'll give them a proper hitbox.
Buildings
Rebuilt Orchards to no longer have a separate "TreeSoil" object, it's just the Orchard frame + the trees now.
1756
Expanding them still works too!
1757
Found some inconsistencies with the Resizing code, so swapped it over to use the same as houses, reworked that and added a nice error wiggle.
1761
Seems I had the edge checks wrong, and only thought it was right because the Beds and stuff were working as a failsafe check XD
Added the option to rotate Rugs, also a Plush.
1771
Plush of the Mother Plantimal from the game jam game I worked on a while back! Thanks again for working with me on it LouieJams! I was thinking you could pet your Plushes once a day for buffs.
Updated Barometers to predict the Weather for their specific Chunk.
1772
Started working on the Re-position system for Buildings.
1778
Currently it only works for Doors and Walls on NPC houses. This is because I need to split the placement check code off from the Build code so I make sure you don't move things that need specific flooring/terrain to the wrong places.
Added Ceramic Tiles for Houses, and some new Rugs!
1780
Also reworked how Flooring works so that you can having alternating Floor tiles if possible!
1781
Also updated it to change in the Menu and Placement preview.
1795
Destroying Houses now refunds some of the cost of Furniture you've placed inside as well as for the House
1782
Changed how the Placement Indicator works. Previously I was trying to make it hop over a building if one was under it's place, but it was causing issues.
1783
Now I'm just temporarily storing the id of the object underneath the place and using that to get where to draw the indicator. This has the benefit of also letting me still show the exact position of it.
Fixed a bug where Selling a Bench Top would spawn a Chest.
1784
Added the ability to move Doors, currently you can only move it on the same row as it's spawned, but I might let you move it to any wall?
1785
You can now move Building parts.
1788
I'm not sure if I'm going to make it so you can move non-house objects, it's going to be a lot of work and you can just destroy and remake. Moving stuff in houses/etc seems more necessary.
I should probably stop you moving occupied seating though 
1789
Changed how the Selector Indicator works, and added error wiggles for when you try to do stuff you can't, like move things to invalid locations.
1794
NPC's
Redesigned the Buy/Sell system and it's UI
1768
Combined them into one screen reusing the Chest code as a base. I also ended up reworking how the game deals with the Buying and Selling of Items.
Goblins have a normal Inventory (like the Player/Chests etc), then 2 extra arrays, one for what they want to buy and one for selling (these include the amounts they will trade, and the Inventory position pointers)
1793
