The side isles catch up, and the home island raises its ceiling. Until now the home island did nearly all the growing while the other isles stayed small, and each isle's crop speciality was easy to miss entirely. This release gives every side isle a growth ladder of its own, doubles the home island's growth pace, brings the uncapped Land Deed into the mid-game, and puts each isle's favoured crops on the map, in the unlock message, in the Field Guide, and on a new reference page.
- Side isles grow as you level. From level 150, every side island gains a ring of land every 60 levels, automatically. The home island keeps its own faster pace; by the top of the ladder the early isles grow from pocket plots into proper second farms.
- Late isles arrive bigger. The Vineyard now appears at 9x9 and the level-900 Homestead at 13x13, so isles unlocked near the top are worth farming the day they arrive.
- The home island grows twice as often. A ring of land now arrives every 10 levels instead of every 20, carrying the island from 89x89 to 177x177 by the top of the ladder before any upgrades.
- The island grows from the first hours. Bonus rings at levels 6, 30, 60, and 90 carry the island to 15x15 by level 90, instead of holding at 7x7 until level 100.
- Land Deeds move into the mid-game. The no-cap Land Deed blessing now unlocks at level 620 instead of 910, so Sigils can keep the home island growing through the whole back half of the game.
- Existing farms catch up on update. The first launch after updating grants every island, home and side isles alike, all the growth its level has already passed. The Orchard deed now also evens out: bought early or late, the isle ends up the same size.
- The map names every isle and its speciality. Each island on the world map now carries a tag with its name, its favoured crops, and the 20 percent growth bonus they enjoy there.
- The isle you are standing on shows its bonus. While farming a themed isle, a tag under your Sigils names it and its favoured crops; arriving on one announces the perk as the clouds part, and tapping the tag opens the Islands reference page.
- Unlock messages explain the perk. Claiming a new isle now tells you which crops grow faster there, instead of just its dimensions.
- The Field Guide points the way. A crop that has a favoured isle now says so on its guide page.
- A new Islands reference page. Tap the info button on the world map for every isle's favoured crops and how island growth works, in one place.
The growth pacing is a first pass — tell me whether the side isles feel worth sailing to now, and where the sizes land oddly.
