Inn Management

• Check what’s cooking on Uncle Yue’s new order board. Talk to him in the kitchen to see what’s on the stove, which orders you’ve taken today, and who’s booked a table. You can move a dine-in order that hasn’t started to the front of the dine-in queue, or reorder shop orders scheduled for the same pickup window.

• Bring Uncle Yue a flatbread. At Zhan Bingwen’s stall, you can buy one to eat on the spot and another to take with you each day. Give Uncle Yue a flatbread and, for the next two in-game hours, any dine-in or walk-in takeaway order he starts will take 10% less time to cook. A flatbread icon beside the cooking bar shows how much time is left.

• Check a townsfolk’s next meal budget in the Relationship Atlas. Once you’ve met someone, their profile shows their customer group and how much they can spend on their next meal, including any bonuses from shop partnerships.

Matchmaking Hall

• The People section has a new opening spread. Browse the profiles you’ve collected on the left, where five ink dots show how much you’ve filled in for each person. Use the search on the right to find someone by name.

• Change a line in a profile and see who takes notice. Click the colored text to switch between the plain and polished versions. The profile’s tags, appeal, and authenticity update as you write. Newly matched names appear on teal slips, and the list is sorted by match strength. Click a name to see what each person likes about the other.

• Quick Match now follows the same rules as sending an introduction. Recommendations take both people’s preferences and dealbreakers into account. If a profile is incomplete, the game shows you whose details to fill in and which section needs work, so you can save the attempt until both profiles are ready. Commission pages now separate what matters most, what someone also likes, and what needs to be discussed up front.

• Go straight to your case list after a successful introduction. When both people agree to meet, each sends back a reply. Some pairs will even comment on a specific detail you wrote in their profiles. You can now receive new commissions and work on several cases at once. New cases appear in the list as Meeting Pending.

• Corrected Xing Ying’s profile to show that she is female.

Cricket Fighting and Town Life

• Ask the local kids to catch a cricket for you. Once your friendship with A-Ting, Mu Tongtong, or Wang Ergou reaches 30, you can ask them for a cricket when you greet them. The better they know you, the sooner they’ll bring one back and the better your chances of getting a higher-quality cricket. It goes straight into your Cricket Book when it arrives.

• Open the Cricket Book right from the fighting leaderboard. Click the blue-green ceramic cricket jar at the Lietou Gambling House to see the capture odds for each rarity. The chance per plot successfully sown has increased to 0.6% for Exquisite crickets and 0.05% for Peerless crickets.

• The game now explains how to earn both cricket-fighting recipes. You can check the requirements for Sweet-and-Sour Carp and Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish in the Dish Compendium or on the pre-match cricket selection screen. Starting with the 16th official win by the same cricket, each win has a 20% chance to award a recipe for an Exquisite cricket or 30% for a Peerless one.

• See what’s in storage before you plant and what you picked after you harvest. The seed picker shows how much of each vegetable you have in storage. Harvesting shows the actual yield, and harvesting all at once combines totals for the same crop and tells you whether the produce went to the kitchen or into storage.

• Fixed the drawing order at the flatbread stall on Yueming Bridge, so riders passing in front of or behind the stall are shown on the correct side.
