Hello chefs!
It's time for our first major update of the post-1.0 era! For this update we wanted to flesh out some niches we felt were lacking and introduce a long-promised major feature!
In the omelet selection screen, you can now replay any weekly pantry whenever you want! There's currently 27 such pantries, so we've more than tripled the number of available starter pantries. It should be pretty easy to cycle through them and find one that looks interesting. To incentivize you, we've added a couple achievements for completing Weeklies.
For those of you chasing the 100% Catalogue completion achievement, this should help you track down some missing customers and ingredients. We've got 25 more weeklies to add so if there's any boss customer you want us to guarantee or any fun helper/ingredient combinations, please let us know and they might make it into the game!
In terms of content, we wanted to focus on fleshing out the Seafood and Wiggly categories even further. There were previously no Wiggly ingredients that came in groups of 2+ in the shop, which made Octopus Leg a bit useless. Now we've got a new type of wiggly that just flop in place a bit but comes with some great scoring potential! Plus some more mult-providers that should help create more ridiculous strategies!
Another reason we wanted to focus on Seafood is because we only had 1 Seafood-related helper previously! That's fixed now along with some more helpers that convert tags, since that's a design space we're very curious to explore. Please let us know which of these new helpers is your favorite and what you want to see more of!
In case you missed it, we've been running several brackets on our Discord to determine the most beloved ingredient in Omelet You Cook! Join us on Discord to participate and vote for your favorite!
Another major objective for this update was to rebalance and address some of the most common frustrations y'all have brought to our attention. In particular, we've made Scissors (and therefore the Wrapped pantry) much easier to unlock. More details in the patch notes. (Note you may need to unlock them again but it'll be much quicker this time!)
We've also added 7 new achievements because Principal Clucker disdains chefs celebrating their 100% completion. So get cooking, keep sharing those Ws, and we'll keep moving the goalposts!
We still have a lot more planned for Omelet You Cook, and all your feedback is incredibly helpful! Please keep sharing what delights and frustrates you, and any ideas you have for new content you want to see!
Happy cooking, chefs!

v1.1 Patch Notes
Content
Replay any Weekly Run whenever you want!
There's currently 27 Weekly Pantries which means we've more than tripled the number starting pantries available!

8 new helpers
7 new achievements

Balance
Helper Rarities have been rebalanced to reach a more balanced distribution. Previously the majority of helpers were Rare and there were very few Common or Uncommon. We've adjusted it so that generally Commons are simple and useful in almost any build, Uncommons are more specialized but still simple, and then Rares are more complex or contain multiple effects. The new distributions are as follows:
Common: 10 (was 6)
Uncommon: 28 (was 10)
Rare: 28 (was 41)
Legendary: 30 (was 27)
Mythic: 8 (unchanged)
The following Helpers are now Common (instead of Uncommon):
Extendo Top Hat
Doggie Treat
Infinite Mystery Box
Piggy Bank
The following Helpers are now Uncommon (instead of Rare):
Union Delegate
Emergency Egg
Chatterbox Kevin
An Expiring Feast
Travel Trash Dog
Pillow of Softness
Chew Toy
Crunchwrap Supreme
Processing Factory
Baker's Mitt
Cornucopia
Tenderizer
Salad Spinner
Jimmy Jar
Mushroom Grow Kit
Market Basket now makes Raw crates more common in the shop
Soy Sauce Fish gained Seafood tag
Soy Sauce Fish is unlocked by one of the new ingredients
Previously it was unlocked by Salmon, which now unlocks another new ingredient so you will need to re-unlock Soy Sauce Fish
Scissors are now unlocked by Pizza Pocket instead of Skewer
This unlock was one of the longest and most painful. It also unlocks one of the pantries so we decided to make it much easier. Now it's just Hash Brown -> Pizza Pocket -> Scissors
Again, you may need to reunlock it. Sorry about that, but it'll be better in the long run!
Another benefit is this should ensure chefs learn how to unwrap before they get Scissors
Plus we're rewarding your hard work with an achievement for unlocking Skewer!
Bug Fixes
Reworded Piggy Bank for clarity
Reworded the Founder/Finisher to say "to the ingredient taken first/last" (instead of to each)
Fixed bug where you could get a duplicate Legendary Helper from the take random choice
Fixed bug where bullies would bully ingredients that had lost their targeted tag (like a formerly Raw ingredient that's been Baked by Hot Pot)
Improved in-game Steam links so they open the app rather than your browser
You can test it by Wishlisting Big Dig :D
Fixed bug where some descriptions (like Cash Register) had 2 spaces instead of 1
Fixed bug where stamps would be unstamped on reload
Fixed some typos, miscapitalizations
Pricing
Decreased the price in Poland by 17% to match current currency conversion rates
