Patch Notes: v.1.0.4.7 (7th October 2022)

Hello everyone,

The first major Patch for Brewmaster brings with it fixes for the most-reported issues we’ve received, as well as a handful of small but impactful improvement requests. A few of the bigger highlights are;

• Counterflow chillers and wort plate chillers no longer remove bitterness (IBU), flavours, or other properties from wort

• Fixes for a variety of situations that would block progress in Brewmaster Mode

• Fixes for a variety of Steam Achievements

• Fixed issue where gaining reputation levels with Wild Vale didn't grant the appropriate rewards or unlock the commercial slot. This will work retroactively: keep an eye out for a delivery box with any previous rewards you weren't given at the time!
