Encrafted 0.74.2

Encrafted Beta 0.74.0 - 0.74.2

G'day! This update brings for the first time some additional attributes! Along with that three new artefacts that you may come across, one mythical latent artefact and two general artefacts focused on earning extra essence.

Voltaic Materials

There is now a new uncommon spell that may appear in shops: Electrify

When used it will make the chosen material Voltaic, which will cause it to add an extra 10% of value to all crafts done while it is in the inventory. Multiple voltaic materials will have compounding effects as each 10% is stacked with the last.

Spectral Materials

Another uncommon spell that may appear in shops: Transcend

This one makes materials Spectral. Spectral materials have a 50% chance to not be consumed when used for crafting. This means you may get multiple uses out of a single material! Especially useful if it persists through to a more complicated and valuable product so you can use it again (and maybe again).

Attribute Inheritance Chances

A useful UI feature added is the ability to see the chances that a given craft will result in which specific attribute, based on its inputs.

New Artefacts!

Smuggler / Contrabandit: Disposing the randomly targeted material type will instantly grant 3 essence. After each round, the targeted material will be randomised based on the bag's contents.

Offering / Oblation: If the first sell load of round contains only one persistent material, it will be permanently destroyed and 3 essence will be granted.

Imitator / Ultra Imitator: Once held for 2 rounds, can be disposed to create a random new artefact the same as one that's currently equipped.

Other Tweaks

A handful of other tweaks and fixes as always has been made, most notably for consistency reasons Shimmer and Persuasion have swapped rarities, so you can obtain gilded materials more often to get out of the early game on higher difficulties.

Several more artefacts have had their weight dropped down to 1 to better reflect their fleeting utility on a round-to-round basis. This includes Mrs. Cow, One for None, and Cold Pizza. Nuke is also now cheaper and more common.

Cramped no longer takes away half of your inventory, instead it takes less away initially, and then steals an extra slot after every sell load.

The Magician, Recycler, and Arsonist now retro-scale, meaning they will already be strengthened based on the actions done in the run prior to finding them in the shop. They are slightly less effective now to be better balanced with this improvement.

Importantly for higher difficulties, a single Farm upgrade and Hills upgrade are guaranteed between random rounds that are pre-determined by your run's seed. This is to slightly curb losing a run because you couldn't find these often essential upgrades until extremely late.

Stay up to date!

More changes, artefacts, and tweaks are coming! A lot more attention will be on the other bags now, so feel free to join the Encrafted Discord if you want to be informed of all news, and a potential playtest of the full game.
