November Update: QoL, UI & Stability Improvements — 1.0.4

Hey alchemists! The November update we mentioned recently is here. We’ve been working on it for over a month and we’re excited to ship QoL and UI improvements, along with bug fixes and a bit of new content. This patch also lays the groundwork for the new content arriving next month. Now, let’s see what’s in today’s update!

Quality of Life & UI Improvements:

• Added frame locking via the bottom-right button, letting you organize the board any time without accidental moves.

• Added hotkeys for overlays — toggle "O" for Crimes and "P" for Ingredients check. Quick and easy access right from the field!

• Added wardrobe slot to all dwellings — you can now remove an artifact without equipping another, making it easier to adjust your setup when you need to.

• Redesigned the left-side bookmarks (Grimoire, Frames and Ascension), so they take less screen space and keep the field clearer.

New Card: River Algae

We’ve added the River Algae card — a new ingredient for high-tier fertilisers. Here’s how to get it:

• Workers can now collect algae from the river.

• Spirits working on the river have a chance to bring up algae instead of water. The chance scales with spirits’ Void, keeping their work relevant as you progress in the game.

Fixes & Stability:

• Improved Marina (neighbor) questline:

  • Quests are now given in the proper sequence — "Schematic: Simple River Stash" quest comes before the "River Stash" one.

  • Marina no longer asks for the Sickle if you’ve already lent it to her.

  • Items handed to Marina during quests are now removed from the board as intended.

  • Overall quest logic improved.

• Fixed load errors triggered by interactions with Spirits.

• Fixed errors triggered when closing the Inspector — closing the Inspector no longer causes errors even if your cursor is over a card being replaced (for example, when a Hut upgrades into a House).

• Fixed card title bleeding through the back — titles no longer show through card backs.

• Fixed cursor state sticking — the cursor no longer remains in an incorrect state (e.g., “card grab”) while moving around.

• Fixed decomposition timer resetting on load — processing certain resources is now smoother and predictable.

• Fixed incorrect card shadow layers — shadows now render on the proper layer for clearer visuals.

• Polished in-game text — minor corrections and clarity tweaks.

Keep it up, alchemists!
