GAMEPLAY

• [p]Revisited the Diet Morale. Previously, the rate of Diet Morale decay could vary drastically depending on the hidden meal variety counter. After today’s patch, the decay rate is mostly static, only increasing with hunger - the penalty for insufficient meal variety is now applied directly to dishes themselves, visibly reducing the amount of Diet Morale replenished by them (potentially going into negatives).[/p][/*]
• [p]Rebalanced the amount of Diet Morale replenished by dishes.[/p][/*]
• [p]“Vomiting” now reduces Diet Morale.[/p][/*]
• [p]Using Salt while cooking will now improve the dish’s Diet Morale.[/p][/*]
• [p]Low non-Situational Morale and Sanity are now easier to replenish with corresponding activities, making the recovery from negative Psyche less arduous.[/p][/*]
• [p]Significantly slowed down the decay rate of Lifestyle Sanity and reduced its gain from most sources, reducing the stat’s volatility.[/p][/*]
• [p]Once per day, interacting with a “Fair” NPC will now replenish some Lifestyle Sanity. [/p][/*]
• [p]Once per day, reading a new folio or a treatise will now replenish some Lifestyle Sanity.[/p][/*]
• [p]Lowered the decay rate of Rest Morale and Sanity.[/p][/*]
• [p]Killing enemies while affected by “Ancestors’ Gaze” will now replenish a small amount of Lifestyle Sanity.[/p][/*]
• [p]The rate of Psyche states activation now depends on the overall Morale and Sanity, making the transition between positive and negative states more gradual. In other words, negative states will activate more slowly when Morale and Sanity are at 40% than when they are at 10%.[/p][/*]
• [p]“Frenzy”: the forced movement now correctly targets the closest enemy rather than any nearby creature. The chances of forced movement and attacks increase each turn depending on missing Sanity, up to 5% per turn.[/p][/*]
• [p]” Anxiety”: the chance to put a random Attack skill on a 1 turn cooldown now scales with missing Morale, increasing up to 50%.[/p][/*]
• [p]“Panic”: replenishes \[20% > 30%] Max Energy upon activation.[/p][/*]
• [p]When cooking, the recipes requiring vegetables or mushrooms will prioritize using the latter.
The “Bribing the Bailiff” quest now requires one ruby instead of two. [/p][p][/p][/*]

ECONOMY

• [p]The Foragers arriving during the “Bloom” Settlement Situation now have a chance to sell Honeycombs.[/p][/*]

• [p]Fixed the Brynn Alchemist refusing to buy rare herbs.[/p][/*]
• [p]Folios now appear more frequently as loot.[/p][/*]
• [p]The material of most circlets and diadems was changed to gold, silver, or gemstone (from metal or leather), which means they can now be repaired only by the Brynn Jeweler or Darrel, rather than with Repair Kits and armor scraps.[/p][/*]
• [p]Added plates to Alda and Leif’s stock. [/p][p][/p][/*]

CARAVAN

• [p]Unlocking the “Local Informants” upgrade now instantly reveals the terrain around the Caravan Camp.[/p][p][/p][/*]

BALANCE

• [p]“Dimensional Shift”: added base damage and reduced the damage dealt for distance between targets, lowering the spell’s late game effectiveness while preserving its impact during the early game.[/p][/*]

• [p]“Wormhole”: increased the base Range, but the spell is no longer modified by Bonus Range. The spell’s effect now also has an icon and a visible duration, which can be increased by “Lingering Incantations”.[/p][/*]
• [p]“Schism”: standardized the interaction between the Knockback/Pull Chance and the target’s Move Resistance to make it consistent with all similar abilities, increasing the spell’s effectiveness in most cases.[/p][/*]
• [p]“Aether Shield”: the effect’s base duration now scales with the number of learned Arcanistics spells. Each projectile or thrown item destroyed by the “Shield” reduces its duration by 1 turn. Removed the mechanic of dealing Arcane Damage to targets that collide with the “Shield”. [/p][/*]
• [p]“Mana Crystal”: the Crystal’s stats now decrease with each tile of distance from its summoner.[/p][/*]

• [p]“Time Echo”: “Wormhole” replenishes \[33% > 50%] Health and Energy spent over the effect’s duration when applied to the character themselves.[/p][/*]
• [p]“Aether Harmony”: producing a miracle with “Mana Crystal” grants \[-30% > -20%] Energy Cost to the next cast of the spell.
