A Mysterious Face
A new Survivor appears upon the Isles, offering to trade an abundance of foreign, rare, and exotic goods in exchange for the resources you have on hand. With a mix of upgrades, enhancements for your Hunters, and familiar cosmetics, her ever-expanding stock will surely have something that catches your eye.

Better Golems
With the ability to Craft finally here, it seems the Golems have a few new tricks up their sleeves (arms?)! A full re-work of the levelling system brings with it new milestones, as Golems will learn new tricks in each skill the more experience they have.

NEW QOL:
- Wishlist! Right-click any recipe/upgrade to pin it to the right side of the screen
- Golems' capabilities grow as they advance in a skill
- New Golem tasks have been added (Refinery output, Crafting Golems)
- Can now click a Hunter's damage/defense icon to see a break-down of their stats
- Added a 'Load from File' button
- Upgrades to Max Offline Time, the first of which unlocks shortly after Quest Automation
- Dual Objectives, to allow for better guidance through the branching parts of the story
- 'Golden Questies' - A completely original system where you can click little circles on the Expedition screen for a reward; in this case, a 2x gathering speed boost. They appear more in the early game and then taper off
CHANGES:
- Slightly nerfed Rivik's health to hopefully be less of a roadblock
- Wrydd Clot drop chance has been buffed 3x to ensure smoother progression
- The 6th and 7th Hunters rely on each other
- Crafting Recipes are now alphabetized
- Items now show if they're refinable
- Item amount numbers are bigger by default
- Golems require an extra story beat to be formally unlocked
- Changed how internal time is counted, which may initially result in visually inflated numbers until the save is loaded
- Layered Armor always appears under 'normal' Armor on the Forge page
- Finally remembered I could bulk-resize with Python, so many images are now compressed, with the new size being an average of 30% of the previous with minimal to no visual changes outside of 4k (better loading and performance)
- 'Reinforcing' button now glows until you click it, as it was easily missable before
- Lowered some of the first village upgrade costs. Also guarantee first hardbark and erron even earlier
- Hunter Level Milestones no longer show up as skills. This gives the level 20 skills a slight buff, since it multiplies with 'Focus' now
- Full Golem Exp rebalance
- Right-clicking to assign a Golem now prioritizes Golems without jobs
- Tweaked some recipes, such as adv. kits and the 'Reinforce Boat' upgrade
- Pages with subtabs won't show their subtab selection if no other options are unlocked
- Only one ship without a Golem assigned will be loaded at once automatically
- Updated Isle images on the Expedition screen
- Golem Levels are capped
- Hunters no longer pulse when hovered over
FIXES:
- Re-fixed the shipyard 'passenger' upgrade not updating properly once purchased (broken since 0.4.0)
- Isle 3's expedition screen finally uses the correct white highlight
- Characters no longer show up on incorrect Isles, and their speech bubbles do the same
- Isle 3's secret character stays better at being secret
- Fixed boat's being locked onto the Auto-Dest path even when no Golems are assigned
- Golems will now always release Farm Plots when you tell them to
- Quest timers are now on game-time and not real-world time (purely visual, should result in less bloated numbers on Quests)
- Should have resolved a memory leak that could cause crashes in long sessions
- Continued notable optimization in offline progress loading and general gameplay
- Dialogue will now exit if a Story Textbox pops up
- Library now correctly shows Bonus Drops with 0 item minimums
- Library Familiarity pop-up when hovering over Hunters is no longer hidden
- You are now actually slightly slower before the first cart upgrade so that it finally does what it says it does
- 'Minimum Tool to Auto-Equip' setting correctly starts at the lowest value
- Fixed some Library formatting issues that could happen on certain fonts
- Fixed a bug where you could spend one more Spire Heart than you had
