There's a big ole update coming sometime this week with buildable objects and tile editor I believe. In the meantime they've put in:
- Choppable trees (only ones you own)
- Gatherable objects (can take from any tile): flowers, stones, carrots.
There was even a fun contest for carrot gathering and wood chopping. I placed in both and got like 0.19 ETH worth of gold for the effort :)
