Release notes for v0.2.0 (2025-10-17)

Patch Notes v0.2.0

New Features

• Added new magic-branch skill: Spell Resonance, which gives a chance to cast spells without Mana costs

• Added Pure Essence resource as byproduct from enchanted Arcane Crystal nodes

• Pure Essence can be used to upgrade Mana Crystals and fuel Power Spires more efficiently than regular Magic Essence

• Added option to filter recipes by name in recipe selection UI

• Added context menu to resource icons in building buffer area; right-click now allows deleting unwanted stored resources from buildings

Auto-Placement Improvements

• Auto-place Splitters when drag-building a curved belt out from an existing belt

• Drag-building a belt line into an existing belt line now auto-places a Merger in the existing line

• Auto-placed Splitters/Mergers now appear in preview with cost contribution shown in cost label

• Auto-placing Splitters/Mergers on Bridge Belt intersections then also correctly places Elevator Splitters/Elevator Mergers

Building & Construction Fixes

• Fixed delete preview and mass delete preview of asymmetric buildings (Elevator Bridge), which previously showed incorrect grid cells depending on rotation

• Fixed connection issue when in-line replacing belt with Merger that affected the subsequent belt

• Fixed connection edge case when connecting belts to a Splitter that is directly connected to an asymmetric building (Elevator Bridge)

• Blueprint selection of larger buildings now immediately selects/includes the entire building when selecting any of their grid cells

• Saved last blueprint rotation during placement (similar to regular placement behavior)

Visual Assets

• Added new deciduous tree variants: "dark" and "apple tree"

• Reduced mesh sizes for tree assets and improved asset performance

UI & Visual Improvements

• Fixed connection arrows not positioning correctly on Bridge Belts when clicking on water-placed Elevator Splitters and Elevator Mergers

• Fixed connection arrow direction over Splitters/Mergers in certain situations when clicking on connected buildings

• Fixed tooltips not vanishing immediately when leaving object with hover

• Connection arrows now also appear above non-logistics buildings when clicking on Splitter/Merger

• Fixed color sometimes being wrong in preview connection arrow between Splitter/Merger and other buildings

• All collapsible notifications can now also be collapsed+expanded in the Message Log Panel

• Now, only one message in Message Log Panel can be expanded at a time (expanding another collapses the currently expanded message)

Tutorial Improvements

• Reduced redundant "tutorial step complete" notifications to minimize notification spam during sequential tutorial

• Fixed edge case where tutorial data wasn't saved when the previous game session had skip_tutorials active (resulting in tutorials being potentially shown again upon load)

Balancing & Fixes

• Buffed Power Spire effect from 20% to 25%

• Fixed spell-based enchantment of spell-placed nodes sometimes failing to find the node

• Fixed localization in saving/loading gamesSteam post imageSteam post imageSteam post imageSteam post image
