# 🌱 Rich Soil & Autumn Fixes
A small but very important update focused on fixing bugs, polishing systems and adding a new farming toy: **compost & rich soil**.
---
## 🌀 World & Seasons
- **Autumn sapling bug fixed**
In Autumn, trees were dropping the *wrong* saplings depending on the biome tint.
Now every tree correctly drops its own sapling again.
- **Snow behavior improved**
- Fixed the weird effect where snow made it look like *three biomes fused together* in the same area.
- Snow melting is now **much faster and cleaner**, leaving your paths and builds looking way better after a storm.
- **Rain tuning**
Rain is now more controlled and tied to the Aeternum calendar days.
Before it rained too often; now it feels **more natural and random** within the days that are allowed in the config.
---
## 🎣 Events & Gameplay
- **Fishing event rework**
The fishing event has been adjusted to feel more rewarding:
better luck, better loot and a more attractive experience for players who love fishing.
- **Placeholder fixes**
Fixed strange characters showing up in:
- `%aeternum_event_active%`
- `%aeternum_event_next%`
Both placeholders now display correctly with the plugin’s text system.

## 🌾 New Compost & Rich Soil
- The **Wandering Cook’s Guide** has a new page with a recipe to craft **Raw Compost**.
- Raw Compost is a damp mix of soil and scraps that you must **soak near water for a couple of in-game days**.
- After soaking, it transforms into **Rich Farmland** – a special soil that makes your crops grow **faster** thanks to the improved fertility.
- Place this fertile soil under your new crops to get the benefit and make your farms feel more alive and rewarding.
---
## 🌍 Localization
- Several **translations have been refined**, fixing small issues and making text feel more natural in supported languages.
