📋 About This Mod
Almanac provides an in-game book with useful information about different subjects, including a weather forecast for the entire year, guidance on how long it takes crops to grow, local notices like birthdays and festivals, and even reports from the Adventurer's Guild.

How to use
By default, you don't actually have an Almanac. You need to wait, and Pierre should give you one. (Though, you can also just forcibly enable it in settings if the event is bugged or you're just impatient!)
Once you've got an Almanac, open it from your inventory menu or press the hotkey (F7 by default) to open it. Then just pick a page and explore.
This is an early release.
I still don't know how well this mod will work with other mods that add content, and I'm hoping to get lots of user reports to help me expand this into a truly amazing in-game tool. Let's build something really neat!
On that note, if anyone is interested in helping translate, or maybe making some more interesting events for the mod, I'd be interested in the help. I'm a UX programmer, not a designer...
