Gamepan 1.1.29

The Crafting Calculator got torn down and built back up from scratch. The old one only tallied what a craft would cost, which was never really the point. The new one actually plans the craft.

Crafting Calculator, rebuilt

  • Keep a shared library of items, and give any item a breakdown made of other items. Cake needs milk, milk needs a bucket, a bucket needs iron, as deep as you want to go.

  • You build that whole chain in one place, right from the thing you are making, no hopping between screens. Rows collapse to a count so a big tree stays readable.

  • Say what you want to make ("10 swords, 5 potions") and it hands you three things: a gather list of the raw materials to go farm, the craft steps in order with the action for each (mine, smelt, harvest, craft...), and a full breakdown tree.

  • Reusable items like buckets or molds are counted once instead of per craft, and it figures out how many you actually need at the same time (three milk in one cake means three buckets, not one).

  • Line up several plans in tabs, price things out with an optional cost column, and search or sort your item library.


Your old crafting calculator data comes across on its own, turned into items and a plan.

Maps

  • Shrinking a map module used to turn the fanned-out labels into a tangle of leader lines. It now backs off on its own when the map is small, with a setting to control it (Auto, Always, Never) and a size cutoff you can pick yourself.

Colors that stay readable

  • Every button, tag, and checkmark that uses your accent color now chooses its text shade automatically, so a light or white accent no longer leaves text invisible. This is everywhere in the app.

  • The theme picker and theme maker now use Gamepan's own color picker instead of the plain system one.

Spell check

  • Spell check is on across the app: notes, journal entries, item names, every text field. Right-click a flagged word for suggestions or to add it to your dictionary.

Tidying up

  • Removed the redundant global "default image quality" setting, since Gallery, Notes, Builds, and Maps each set their own now.

  • A stack of smaller polish across the crafting calculator and the settings menu.


Still no accounts, no subscription, everything stays on your machine. Happy grinding.
