Update #3 – Controller support, new tool, questline & more!

Hey Magical Mixers,

A new update is now available! Most of our energy for this update went into adding Controller Support to the game, which completely transforms how our game can be played. Some would even say this is how it was meant to feel – we encourage you to try it out.

We also made it possible to fully upgrade current and future tools by completely rebalancing all enchantment costs – and we added a brand new tool for you to check out.

And lastly, we have updated our Roadmap to give a better idea of what is to come.

Thanks for playing, and happy mixing!

New Content

• Controller Support
  A completely new control scheme for controllers including an official controller layout for the Steam Deck.
• New Tool: Ronin’s Wakizashi
  By helping Hazel the rogue, you can unlock this herb-slashing, ninja-dashing blade.
• New Questline: Mixing It Up
  A new, short questline aimed to introduce new players to Distillers and the concept of mixing essences to create new mixtures.
• NPC Routines
  Griselda, Odie and Carla now actually have a life and a daily schedule, making them move around depending on time of day.
  We will add routines to other NPC’s when they get their quest chains implemented.

Changes

• All Tool Enchantment costs have been updated and should be more balanced.
  Moonlight Dust, which was a missing resource, has been removed from all upgrade costs, meaning that fully upgrading tools is now possible.
• Stones can now be crushed
  Crushing a Stone in a Crusher will yield either Pebbles, Mageroot or Fossils.
• Doubled Amber drop chance from Sandstone Deposits.
• Geodes no longer yield Fossils or Amber.
• The Valuables category has been renamed to Misc.
• Griselda now rewards more bottles during tutorial quests.
• We reduced the diamond cost of Arcane-O-Coil down from 5 to 1.
• We reduced the fiber cost of repairing the Cargo Lift down from 50 to 10.
• Workstations will now refuse to produce anything if they do not have any available recipe for combining all their content.
• The Lapis Crater area in Wilderness has received a visual update.
• Pulp has been removed from the game.
• The Furnace workstation schematic now starts out unlocked. However, it still needs to be purchased with coins.
• The Commercial Endeavours questline is now a main questline and now has help text in the quest tracker.
  Unfortunately, some players will have to redo this 4-step questline, but we were forced to make this change in order to add help text for new players.
• While in build mode/workstation move mode, workstations should auto-rotate in a much more intuitive manner.
• Moving a workstation that only has an adjacency connection no longer triggers a confirmation prompt.

Bug fixes

• When importing, the “Total cost” should no longer be stuck at 1337.
• The Workshop Expansion blueprint overview is now rotated correctly.
• The UI should no longer break when the Journal is opened while placing a Workstation from the Build Menu.
• Potions should no longer randomly disappear from the Shop Crate during the day.
• Button highlights should no longer randomly disappear.
• Placing a workstation on top of another workstation should no longer result in getting stuck.
• Using the hotkey to hide the UI should no longer break the pause menu.
• It is no longer possible to force a day to continue past midnight by releasing the interact key on the bed just as the clock hits 00:00.
