A reworking of how blessings are bought, with two refinements to the pedestal menu alongside. The Blessings shop now leans on one-time purchases you can clear off a list, a small set of upgrades that arrive in numbered tiers across the game, and a long-overdue pass over upgrade prices. The pedestal menu cards also float free of their panel, and the trophy marker above your pedestal is now a card you can tap.
- Blessings are now mostly one-time. Most blessings are bought once and then leave the shop, so the Blessings tab fills with what you have left to buy and empties as you clear it, rather than holding rows you pour Sigils into forever.
- Some blessings arrive in numbered tiers. Crop speeds, production-building slots, watering, and a handful of others now unlock one tier at a time as you level — Wheat Speed I, then II, then III — appearing when you reach them and returning later for the next step, instead of handing over their full strength at once.
- Early upgrades no longer front-load their power. Strong early buys like the furnace and mill speed-ups now build across several tiers, so the opening hours stay paced rather than spiking.
- Blessing prices are retuned across the board. Late-game blessings were quietly charging far more than their listed cost; prices now match what you see, and the whole shop has been recosted onto a single consistent curve.
- Bigger bags for the automation age. Inventory slots and stack sizes now climb much higher than before, so shrines and stations do not overflow your bag as quickly.
- The menu cards now float free. Opening the menu no longer frames the cards inside a panel — they float over a dimmed screen, and every card fits at once with no scrolling. Tap a card to open it, or tap the space around them to close the menu.
- The trophy marker is now a card you can tap. When you have trophies waiting to claim, the marker that floats above your pedestal is now your Trophies card. Tap it to go straight to your trophies instead of opening the menu to find them, and it gives a gentle bounce to catch your eye.
The Blessings shop is where most of what you earn gets spent, so it was worth making it something you can finish rather than pour into forever. The numbers are fresh and will keep moving as the beta goes on — let me know how the new pacing and prices feel.
