changedResonators are attached to your pickaxe, and each resonator corresponds to one kind of ore or rock. There is no resonator for deathstone, as deathstone is not mined with a pickaxe. Mining with a resonator gives you a 5% chance of finding a geode.
changedThere are four kinds of geode, one for each of the Mine of Mantuban professions - Blacksmith, Bonewright, Miner and Stonemason. Breaking open a geode will give XP in the corresponding profession. It is random which geode you will find, and there is also a small chance of finding a sparkly geode which gives more XP when broken open.
addedQuality of life improvementsAdd a 'Deposit All' option to the storage rift spell in the spells interface. • Botanist cards now show the purpose of the item you get. • Move a rabbit from Fillan's Bedroom to Prison Entrance, so you no longer need to make any progress in the Crenopolis main quest to be able to catch all the rabbits.
fixedBug fixesFix lobster and oyster ventures to use the correct equipment icon. • Fix various typos.
changedLaunch schedule changesIf you look at the 'What we are currently working on' interface, you will see that we have decided to swap Fractured Reality and Bonewright Bounties in the launch schedule. While we know this delay will be disappointing for many of you, we think Fractured Reality needs those extra two weeks of polishing to be ready.
