Patch Notes: v2.0.0-beta.1686 (Beta)

──────────────────────── NEW FEATURES ────────────────────────

A new Quartermasters Orders feature:

1. Feed 'Craft to fill' action — the gear-gap advisor entry now has a second "🔨 Craft" button (next to "View Gear") that jumps to crafting and tracks a recipe for the missing slot.

2. Orders card in the Armory — a compact "Quartermaster Orders" card listing gear gaps per slot (⛑️ Helm ×3) with a per-slot Craft jump.

More Languages:

• Italian (Italiano) is now a 90% translated, selectable language — every menu, letter, and line of flavor.

• Swedish (Svenska) joins as a 90% translated, selectable language.

• For fun: two novelty languages, Klingon and a game-original Elvish, are now selectable. They cover a curated set of high-visibility text and fall back to English elsewhere.

──────────────────────── QUALITY OF LIFE ────────────────────────

• New Hotkeys tab in Settings lists every keyboard shortcut, grouped by area.

• New "Best Leader" button on the party panel auto-promotes your strongest captain in one click, so you don't have to re-check every member after editing a team.

• Roster advanced search gains a per-stat filter: stack up to six conditions to find adventurers by current stat value or potential ceiling.

• Auto-sell rules now show a "Sells at ~Xg" estimate beside the market price, with a clearer tooltip — so you can set a Price Floor that actually triggers instead of being silently skipped every week.

• The Settings → Universe tab moved to the top of the list and now shows fresh book and soundtrack cover art.

──────────────────────── WRITING ────────────────────────

• Some of you have been following along with this, but my i18n localization efforts has Claude-ified a lot of in-game text. Now that most translation work is nearing its end, I have been updating/re-writing text to reflect my original vision of tone/feel/direction, etc. Today's patch marked a big chunk of this updated, but I'll be working on this steadily over the next month or so.

──────────────────────── BUG FIXES ────────────────────────

• Starter gear now arrives "Worn" and repairable, matching its description, instead of showing as Pristine 20/20 and refusing all repairs. Existing scrounged starter gear is corrected automatically.

• Countering a rival's trade no longer wrongly tags the guild as "Traded" or blocks you from re-trading with them for the rest of the week — a pending counter is an open negotiation, not a completed deal.

• Scout reports no longer mix languages: the wage-change line at the end of a completed scouting report now reads in your selected language.
