Patch notes

v0.18.1: Fixes

Fixes and polish on the way to the first release candidate.

  • Gifts stay gifts. Binning the free raspberry pot or the free apple tree no longer pays out its full price. It goes back to your Structures menu as FREE, ready to place again. Binning a pot you bought returns what that pot cost, and the confirm box now shows the same figure you get.
  • Green Manure costs more water. A Mill batch now takes two Water Points instead of one, still ten cress for two manure. At one point, manure beat watering by a wide margin on every crop above carrot. The Duplicator and the Reserve also no longer take watercress, which let a single grape age a whole batch.
  • Trophies that could not be earned now can. Filled the Shop and Buyer (Diamond) asked for every keystone in groups where you may only pick one; those picks, and the Land Deed for Diamond, no longer count. Trial by Soil no longer asks you to till under the pedestal and the Grand stations.
  • Trophy text reads properly. The per-recipe trophies say "Craft Carrot Cake 50 times" instead of an internal name. The every-recipe trophies (Apprentice Baker, Mixologist, Preservationist and their big siblings) now include the newer recipes at each station, so they ask for more than before. The Supporter trophy is hidden while the Store is closed.
  • Big numbers are easier to read. Sigils, Water Points and the Tilling Points badge on the main screen now use thousands separators.
  • Reduce Motion covers menu sparkles. The drifting motes, petals and embers in the structure and shrine menus stay still when Reduce Motion is on.
  • Batches left in a Mini reach the Grand. Anything a Mini was still holding from before 0.18.0 now moves to its Grand on launch, and if that Grand is not there yet, the ingredients come back to you. The Mini descriptions and the goose's Mini lines now describe the Mini as a bench for its Grand, placed anywhere.
  • The streak ignores a clock set backwards. Moving the device clock back a day no longer counts as a new day.
  • Safer saves. If an island file is ever damaged, a copy is kept aside before anything is written over it.
  • Smaller fixes. The update screen links to the real TestFlight page, the Settings info page lists the tabs that actually exist, and a few labels were tidied: Cosy Nest, Tilling Points and Sigils, and the great furnace.
