After taking some much needed vacation we are back with our [b]first major post full release update[/b]. Broadly speaking, our main focus for this update is to implement all the QoL suggestions possible as well as tweaking numbers and balancing everything better to improve the overall feeling of pacing and progression. Most noticeably [b]we have added the ability to move workstation networks in bulk[/b]. This will make rearranging your workshop much faster and more fun. In the same vein, we have also drastically [b]reduced the material costs[/b] of most workstations which should reduce the amount of late game grinding required to fill your workshop. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43157888/d49f890ab46fadc101d0e2478c6452860d5e6f87.png[/img] We also took a look at [b]tools[/b]. Mostly, we improved those that were not at an acceptable baseline level. And while we are not going for absolute balance, we had to reduce the effectiveness of the fully upgraded Gilded Pick since it was simply so good that other tools paled in comparison. We don’t like nerfing things but had no choice with this one - but don’t worry, it still feels super satisfying to use while allowing other picks to shine.

Most importantly, [b]the map screen now displays repair costs of broken landmarks[/b] - like bridges and teleportals - and the import tooltip has been updated, making the repeating orders option more obvious.

The short version is that potions are now worth more early on, since modifiers are now flat value increases. Instead, bottle quality is now a multiplier, making bottles much more rewarding to produce in the mid to late game. Overall, this should result in a slight increase in income in the early game, not much change in the mid game, and a potential huge increase in income late game if you make the effort of crafting high quality bottles.
