Furniture Trader: The Warehouse for Decor
A new Furniture Trader NPC has arrived as the shopping hub for all decoration needs. Here, players can:
Purchase common items from the base stock.
Hunt for rare items that are updated and rotated periodically, allowing every camp to have a unique look.

The Paintbrush Tool can be found in the Fishing Hut. This tool’s main functions are to:
Change the color on most furniture pieces.
Adjust furniture details, providing the freedom to match colors to your desired camp theme.
