Heyo, hope you had a nice week - anyway, here's the first part of the Advanced Settings Update!
This contains some of the [b]most frequent requests players have made[/b], both for settings as well as QoL improvements!
Most of the changes for the second part have also already been decided - to see them or suggest your own, [b][url=https://discord.gg/Y5ACDGQSFx]join the official Kiwi Clicker Discord![/url][/b]
[b]From this point onwards, this post will mostly become a loooooooong list of settings that were added.[/b]
Cheers & have fun!

[h1]BALANCE CHANGES[/h1]
This update also comes with a bigger focus on using your profession's strengths as a meaningful source of transcendence points - general point gain has been mildly reduced with professions receiving buffs:
Carpentry - Much higher max bonus multiplier per kingling and maximum bonus multiplier limit
Alchemy - Feeding the king potions now scales with the number of kings you've summoned as well
Archery - Was making about 10x more points than other professions and now makes only 7x more
[h1]QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS[/h1]
[list][*] The game's sound now changes considerably when moving into the underground
[*] Alchemy now has a trash can that you can use to discard unwanted potions for whatever reason
[*] There's now a king counter that shows the total amount of kings you've summoned in the current run
[*] Alchemwiwi now throws potions on all stations during 'level one for all' penance runs
[*] Your new transcend currency total after transcend is shown in the transcendence confirmation screen
[*] There's now a percentage progress indicator on your penance progress bar, now you can see how little it moves numerically!
[*] Popping numbers have been realigned to avoid going offscreen and covering relevant ingame information
[*] Auto-kiwiker's upgrade window now opens a lot more to the left... it seems like this was a minor grievance for multiple players?
[*] Flagelant kiwi's chains no longer cover your penance bonus number when activated
[*] Minor visual improvements to the manual saving section in the game's menu screen[/list]
[h3]MINOR FIXES[/h3]
[list][*] Tentative fix for all transcend tree nodes disappearing for a fraction of players with specific hardware
[*] Upgrade tooltips now properly update their data when auto-upgrading happens while they're open[/list]
