Effects are still under adjustment). * Added several illustrations to the in-game gallery. * Added four new panty skins. * Added two new friendship levels (friendship above 500 will now increase more slowly). * Added a "Show menu only when Shift key is pressed" option to container settings when "Advanced Menu" is enabled. * Added recipe for "curtain doors." * Added three new monsters. * Updated Chinese translations.

Added "Rare Species" to the immortal younger sister. * All store goods except dangerous books now come identified. * Guests now leave with their minions when departing from a base. [Mod-Related] * User maps no longer generate contents in empty containers (effective for newly uploaded maps). * Fixed errors caused by Mod items in the light source slot after uninstalling. * Added post-processing for quests tied to uninstalled Mods. * Improved post-processing after Mod uninstallation. [Fixes] * Fixed faction enchantments triggering even after unequipping items. * Ensured save files include original zip after de-clouding without deleting it.

Custom difficulty options for adjusting drop rates and economy toggles are under consideration, aiming for implementation in Nightly by month-end. * Doors placed on blocks are shorter than those on walls due to height differences (intended). * "Runes" are still not implemented. * Balancing gods is ongoing. Currently weaker gods may receive a third blessing for significant boosts. Temporary buffs will aim for averages without sacrificing potential future improvements. * Two types of tent walls are available. * Costumes like mascots can also appear in dungeons at low probabilities (intended).
