Hey, magical mixers!
The focus of this update was to fully flesh out the remaining three tools to give you a wide array of ways to completely destroy nature gather resources!
We also added the ability to double the potion shelf space.
Amongst a bunch of other tweaks and changes, we decided to slightly revamp potion modifiers. They were overly complex, so we simplified their concept without making them easier to achieve, and changed their name to match their new design.
And of course, we added some more quests - and yes, that means new hats!
New Content
- New Tool: Tempest ○ By aiding Barb the druid you can unlock this oversized sickle which will help you gather herbs with the force of wind.
- New Tool: Bearded Berserker ○ By aiding Chunk the barbarian you can unlock this aggressive axe which will throw you into a tree-chopping-frenzy.
- New Tool: Fists of Judgement ○ By aiding Cecil the paladin you can unlock this very judgy pick that will summon holy fists to crush sinful minerals.
- Shop Crate Expansion ○ For a modest sum, the two bottom shelves can be repaired, increasing potion shelf space from 8 to 16.
- Main Quest continues ○ Griselda needs your help gathering positive shop reviews. ○ New hat!
- New Sidequest Someone mischievous will start leaving “gifts” at Griselda’s door. New Hat!
- More UI Notifications ○ Inventory button glows red when the inventory is full. ○ “Inventory Full” notification is triggered when you try to pick up resources with a full inventory. ○ Build Mode button glows green when a new workstation can be unlocked. ○ Map & Journal button glows green when a new landmark is discovered. ○ When opening the inventory, new resources are highlighted when found for the first time.
Changes
- Potion Modifier changes. ○ Balanced Flavor modifier has been renamed to Preferred Flavor, and is achieved by having the correct flavor be dominant over all other flavors. ○ Ideal Ratio modifier has been renamed to Prime Essence, and is achieved by having the correct essence type be the strongest in terms of potency. ○ Optimal Ingredient modifier is unchanged.
- Hodgepodge changes ○ Extractors can no longer turn edibles into hodgepodge. ○ Hodgepodge is now considered a mixture/potion and has potency, which means it will give you Mixture Intolerance when consumed. ○ Hodgepodge can now only be made by distilling or fermenting a mixture twice. ○ It now has a brown color so it stands out from Poison.
- Taking Damage Polish ○ Taking Damage is now communicated by a red effect around the edge of the screen. ○ The black radial swipe no longer fully collapses until you are knocked out, making it easier to escape close calls.
- Resources ○ All resource yields have been streamlined. Max yields for every resource source is capped at 15. ○ Geodes no longer drop from regular stone deposits, but drops are increased from other sources. ○ Amethysts no longer drop from stone deposits. ○ Gusto Grubs now drops from Withersap Trees and Hyper Dung Beetle instead of Mageroot Deposits and Klaphats. ○ Psyche-Tick no drops from Glowlights instead of from Proudcap Patches. ○ Mama Longfangs now drops from Klaphats instead of from Strawberry Bushes and Apple Trees. ○ Centipedes now only drop from Mageroot Deposits, Stumps and Bee Hives.
