Hello Goblins and welcome to our first Early Access content update: Full of Beans!

Seems you've been very busy little goblins! We've had many reports of the woes of having too many trinkets and not enough ways to get rid of them, so the Full of Beans update brings you new ways to manage your stock. You now have the ability to expand the space in your Stash book, and we're also introducing the Pay-What-You-Can Box. Read on to learn more about them, plus all the additional new features and fixes included in this patch!

What's New

Stash Upgrades
This much-requested feature is in! Upgrade your stash to hold loads more trinkets! Purchase and then upgrade the Chest to increase your stash slots, and find a few bonus slots through other upgrades scattered around the shop too! If you already own certain upgrades, such as larger workbenches, you'll find some extra stash slots already unlocked the next time you load your save file.

Pay-What-You-Can Box
Purchase this to help clear out unwanted stock! Drop trinkets into the box, then leave them overnight. Passing customers might well help themselves, and will probably – though not always – leave you some gold! You can upgrade the box with more item slots, but be aware that unless someone's feeling really generous, most of the time you'll only get a pittance for the trinket.

Stove & Coffee Pot
Purchase this set to unlock a nice hot brew every day! Drinking coffee (for a small cost) gives you 1 bonus timeslot to use every day, which means you can get more done! But only once. Goblins don't over-caffeinate. And even without the coffee, the stove adds a lovely cosy ambience to the shop, ready for the cold months ahead.

Brand new character & quest
Raniel has recently arrived in the city, and this kindly Frog's mother is a little worried about him. Like any good frogkin, he's going to make sure to assuage her concerns - and he's about to meet you, so he'll be fine! Plus we've also added one new quest each for Ortici and Virgil.

10 new trinkets
These will appear via sacks as per normal, with their own cruft chipping 'puzzle' to clear.

• A Bead Necklace
• An Orcish Dagger which is made up of the Blade, Hilt and Pommel
• The Viola and of course the Bow you'd need to play it
• A Wooden Mask, plus its Ear and Horn to complete the look
• An accessory for the Lich Crown

Updates

• Every single trinket now has their own individual icon making it easier to tell exactly what they are in the Stash book.
• Redoir's VO has been updated.
• You can now dismiss all NPCs, not just the 'random' ones.
• We've done a huge optimisation pass on the game (focusing mostly on UI & textures) to help the game run smoother on low end machines.
• We've standardised the various shelf sizes to make it easy for them to be updated in future (more on that down the line). You shouldn't notice a difference but do let us know if you spot any oddities.

Bug Fixes

• We've addressed an issue which prevented trinkets being placed on the edge of the largest workbench upgrade after reloading save files.
• We have significantly reduced the memory footprint of our NPCs shaders and textures which we are hoping will prevent most of the crashes that some of you have been experiencing.
• The trinket counter in the top right of the UI has been removed to prevent confusion while we think about how to fix and revamp it.
• We fixed an issue that was causing the hands of human customers to appear transparent.
• The Lute will no longer clip through the sales mat when placed on the customer desk.
• Coin bags will no longer drop to the floor when trying to add them to the Stash book if it's completely full of trinkets.
• We've fixed another instance of duplicated trinkets appearing in the sack after clicking on random stranger NPCs multiple times.
• The upcycling connection point for the Bent Nail Handle is now on the head of the nail rather than on its point.
• Customers are now actually grateful for your hard work and will smile at you when you provide them with their requested trinkets!
• Various other tweaks and minor fixes.

What's Next

Of course this is just the first step in a long and winding road towards our 1.0 launch next year! Sometime in December, and certainly before Christmas, we'll be dropping the "Festive" content update for you lucky lot! In the meantime we'll be keeping our eye on how Full of Beans went down. Not only so we can fix any nasty bugs ya'll find, but also to see if we can steer or adapt our plans for the coming months! Speaking of which, check out the new Roadmap - it feels so good to be chugging along! Not only that, but so far the response from you has been amazing. Seeing our review score go steadily up in the last 3 weeks since launch has been super motivating for us all. So until next time, please do pop by our Discord and chat to us about the update, and if you haven't already leaving a review really does help us out so much!
