Renewed Magic
The Magic Renewer is here! Buildable early in the game, the Magic Renewer is capable of granting powerful, temporary buffs to all of your cats. You may choose to activate a lucky buff, giving your gatherer cats a chance at getting a free resource, or you might prefer to hold onto the ability to instantly cure all of your cats of Gloom Sickness. It's up to you!
Charging for Days
Don't want to wait for the Magic Renewer to recharge? The Magic Charger is here to help! Acquired later in the game, each built and powered Magic Charger increases the recharge rate of the Magic Renewer by 25%. If you build enough of them, it's possible to take the recharge time from 25 minutes all the way down to 5 minutes, making it possible to achieve 100% buff uptime!
Also I Gave This Cat a Saw
Joining their brethren of Cats with Witch Hats, Cats with Farmer Hats, and Cats with Poop Hats, we now have Cats with Hard Hats! Cats working at the sawmill or one of the liquid spouts now have new safety-oriented artwork while doing those jobs.
