# Update 0.4.5

## Content Update: Heavy Rain Blooms

- Certain areas on Boia have Heavy Rain weather events that will now trigger a Bloom of certain plants. These plants will respawn very fast and decay slowly over time while raining (and even quicker after it stops). There is a Rain Herald near each bloom that will deposit your plants for the cost of a Sunflower Seed while it's raining!

- Picking Bloom plants will give you a Bloom Chaser buff that will grant more exp for every different plant you picked recently, so make sure you pick a different plant every few seconds!

- Heavy Rain will now respawn faster and with shorter duration

- Reduced the amount of heavy rain zones to increase likelihood of being where you want it

- Moved around some plant nodes to accomodate this
