This introduces Avocados and Strawberries, with seven recipes between them to craft across a range of benches. These can be earned through SMPL3 quests and come with their own unique buffs.
We also have moved further into the testing phases of Galileo, hooking up the Accolades and Achievements to Steam's backend in our development environment.

Avocado and Strawberries
Following our Vegetable Care Package, we’re introducing our Fruit Care Package which includes two new resources for you to find as rewards for SMPL3 quests: Avocados and Strawberries.
These come with seven new recipes that can be crafted at the Drying Rack, Cooking Bench, Potbelly Stove, and Biofuel Stove, each with its own buffs and perks. These are:
- Fruit Muffin
- Savory Roll
- Strawberry Jam
- Pickled Avocado
- Mixed Berries
- Stuffed Avocado
- Dried Avocado
Galileo Progress
Galileo is quickly approaching, and this week saw us connect our Accolade and Achievements features to the Steam backend in our development application.
We also found an issue with the Bestiary in multiplayer, so are working on correcting this so players are granted rewards correctly, and have been testing our fishing mechanics, iterating on the feature and ironing out any bugs that we discover.
For those who might not know what Galileo is, check out our Week Sixty Five blog. We’ve shifted to a new approach that combines regular, smaller weekly updates with larger patches that focus on more detailed features, the first of which is Galileo.
