Update 0.2.15: Balancing, Cookware and Bug Fixes

A balancing and bug fix focused patch today. Loot rewards, dish stats, fishing, biome spawning and more have all been looked at, plus nine new golden cookware pieces and quality of life improvements throughout.

New Features

New Golden Cookware — nine new golden cookware pieces are now in the game.

Changes and Improvements

Loot and spawning — loot rewards rebalanced and now spawn correctly across all biomes. Skippable animations — you can now skip the silver ingredient placement animation and boss intro animations. Inventory sorting — dishes are now sorted by flavour and craving by default, with name as a tiebreaker. Failinis now has an inventory where you can place dishes for him to eat. Lugh opens the shop directly after your first meeting with him, skipping the dialogue. Seasoning station — improved controller and keyboard support, and it now auto-assigns to an empty slot if one is available. Fishing spots despawn after 10 catches. Fishing loot rewards have also been rebalanced. Mode changes
