Fixes / Adjustments

  • Forging flow fix (anti-misclick):

    • You must now select a mold before forging

    • Prevents repeated forging from defaulting to the first weapon (e.g., dagger) and causing mis-operations

    • Reduced negative-feel effects and made cooking choices more strategic

    • Added individual ingredient effects and set meal effects for clearer build direction

  • Mold effect adjustments:

    • SpearIgnore Defense 85% adjusted to 100%
    • Daggereffect corrected

If you run into any issues while playing, or have feedback on the new events and title system, feel free to leave a comment (screenshots/videos are welcome). We’ll keep collecting reports and improving the demo.
