Update #3 – Controller support, new tool, questline & more!

Hey Magical Mixers,

A new update is now available! Most of our energy for this update went into adding **Controller Support **to the game, which completely transforms how our game can be played. Some would even say this is how it was meant to feel – we encourage you to try it out.

We also made it possible to fully upgrade current and future tools by completely rebalancing all enchantment costs – and we added a brand new tool for you to check out.

And lastly, we have updated our Roadmap to give a better idea of what is to come.

Thanks for playing, and happy mixing!

New Content

• Controller Support A completely new control scheme for controllers including an official controller layout for the Steam Deck.

• New Tool: Ronin’s Wakizashi By helping Hazel the rogue, you can unlock this herb-slashing, ninja-dashing blade.

• New Questline: Mixing It Up A new, short questline aimed to introduce new players to Distillers and the concept of mixing essences to create new mixtures.

• NPC Routines Griselda, Odie and Carla now actually have a life and a daily schedule, making them move around depending on time of day. We will add routines to other NPC’s when they get their quest chains implemented.

Changes

• All Tool Enchantment costs have been updated and should be more balanced. Moonlight Dust, which was a missing resource, has been removed from all upgrade costs, meaning that fully upgrading tools is now possible.

• Stones can now be crushed Crushing a Stone in a Crusher will yield either Pebbles, Mageroot or Fossils.

• Doubled Amber drop chance from Sandstone Deposits.

• Geodes no longer yield Fossils or Amber.

• The Valuables category has been renamed to Misc.

• Griselda now rewards more bottles during tutorial quests.

• We reduced the diamond cost of Arcane-O-Coil down from 5 to 1.

• We reduced the fiber cost of repairing the Cargo Lift down from 50 to 10.

• Workstations will now refuse to produce anything if they do not have any available recipe for combining all their content.

• The Lapis Crater area in Wilderness has received a visual update.

• Pulp has been removed from the game.

• The Furnace workstation schematic now starts out unlocked. However, it still needs to be purchased with coins.

• The Commercial Endeavours questline is now a main questline and now has help text in the quest tracker. *Unfortunately, some players will have to redo this 4-step questline, but we were forced to make this change in order to add help text for new players. *

• While in build mode/workstation move mode, workstations should auto-rotate in a much more intuitive manner.

• Moving a workstation that only has an adjacency connection no longer triggers a confirmation prompt.

Bug fixes

• When importing, the “Total cost” should no longer be stuck at 1337.

• The Workshop Expansion blueprint overview is now rotated correctly.

• The UI should no longer break when the Journal is opened while placing a Workstation from the Build Menu.

• Potions should no longer randomly disappear from the Shop Crate during the day.

• Button highlights should no longer randomly disappear.

• Placing a workstation on top of another workstation should no longer result in getting stuck.
