Improved character avoidance to reduce characters blocking one another when walking toward each other, at stairways, or in crowded areas. Also reduced redundant processing during inn operations and interface refreshes.

Adjusted cooking scores to better distinguish seasoning mistakes from serious ingredient-pairing problems, preventing random spice combinations from earning high scores. Mild dishes and regular desserts are still scored as usual.

Corrected dish tags so that descriptions of flavor, color, and temperature better reflect the ingredients and preparation methods used.

Fixed an issue where renamed dishes reverted to their original names. New names now save correctly in both recipes and recipe development result cards.

Fixed issues that prevented the tanghulu purchase screen, He Le’er’s screen, and certain other screens from opening.

Fixed the “Stock and accounts do not match” message when holding another auction after loading a save. Also fixed character positions and scene state not being restored correctly when loading a save within the same scene.

Improved purchasing and recipe development controls. Ctrl can now select quantities up to a stall’s remaining stock, menus can be sorted by star rating or selling price, and recipe development now directly explains when ingredients are missing or their cutting and preparation do not meet the requirements.

Updated quest guidance. Unlocking the school is now triggered in the backyard, the Big Fat Goose quest now points to the actual location to inspect, and map searches no longer find the wrong person or fail to find someone.

Added “Talked To” and “Not Talked To” markers and an Abilities page to the Social Journal, making it easier to check conversation progress, residents’ abilities, and unlock requirements.

Improved the layout and page-turning animations in the Shopkeeper’s Handbook, added the Collections Ledger to the handbook, and made read and unread receipts easier to distinguish.

Standardized image sizes in storage and recipes, added missing ordering images, staff portraits, and ability icons, and fixed issues such as character cards not displaying in full.

Student feedback can now be listened to consecutively. Restored the clothing-gift options for He Sui’an, Di Song, and Cheng Shiyi, reducing the need to repeatedly close and reopen screens.

Fixed issues where customers were dissatisfied regardless of the dish recommended, ingredients were reported missing despite being in stock, and other similar problems. Preparation for accepted meal orders now continues after closing and while sleeping.
