Quality-of-Life & Optimization Update v1.1 is here!

Quality-of-Life features and fixes:

• When you hover over ingredients while browsing a merchant’s goods you now see the number of those ingredients in your inventory in the tooltip. Now you’ll know for sure when you are out of Poopshrooms!

• You can now create potions by pressing its picture in the Recipe Book (as you could do with the craft panel on the Alchemy Map). Quick brew and put on the scales in one move!

• You can now hover over the Effect icon on the Alchemy Map to see the name of that Effect. Now you’ll know for sure what that blue paw icon meant!

• Now you can see wrongly filled vessels on a Legendary Recipe even if those vessels are not used in this recipe. No more accidental poops instead of Nigredo!

• Improved controller/gamepad controls and UX. Also the controller support setting is now turned on by default. Especially useful for Steam Deck players and those who want to chillax while brewing some quality concoctions using gamepad!

• Touch is now supported. Now grinding and throwing stuff around can be even more fun on Steam Deck!

• Restored the ability to use Enter and Numlock Enter as a Spacebar alternative in the Haggling mini-game! It used to be there before, but something went wrong :)

Optimization:

• General optimization. Everything should work better and faster!

• Higher FPS. No more slideshows – only a smooth and oddly satisfying experience!

• The game now uses much less memory. Now you probably won’t need to close all your browsers on a weak PC!

• Focusing/alt-tabbing the application won’t freeze the game anymore. Now the game refreshes the list of save files only when the Save/Load Menu is opened.

• Loading optimization. Game just loads faster and smoother. Simple as that.

• Application closing optimization. No more freezes and crashes when quitting the game!

• Lower hardware requirements. Tried the game before and it didn’t load? Try now – maybe now it’s playable for you!

Bug fixes:

• Most game mechanics are now framerate independent. It means that everything will work the same on different hardware as originally intended.

• The Haggling mini-game speed is now framerate independent. Changing FPS to 30 won’t make it easier (sorry!), but it will now work the same for everyone.

• The potion indicator moving speed from stirring with the spoon is now framerate independent. There was a huge difference between different hardware (for some too slow, for some too fast), now it’s balanced for everyone! By the way – don’t forget to heat the coals before stirring for faster movement ;)

• Philosopher’s Salt rotates the potion indicator correctly regardless of pouring speed.

• Fixed a game-breaking error caused by switching pages in the Recipe Book.

• Controller support setting now shouldn’t break mouse controls when turned on. It’s now turned on by default, so if you encounter some strange mouse behavior, please let us know.

• Fixed the bug that allowed duplicating potions and ingredients by hovering over a slot in the Alchemy Machine with an item in hand and quick saving.

• Now creating Legendary Substances via Alchemy Machine unlocks corresponding achievements after the Machine finishes working (used to unlock on start). No more spoilers!

• Fixed an error that happened when a player created a very long path for a potion by using a large amount of ingredients.

• Gamepad – GUI element with price above the scales now selects only if it’s not hidden.

• Gamepad – sometimes the cursor selected invisible items from the inventory (when they were near the Recipe Book button).
