- 1.10 - Faster Crafting and Foraging Size Clarifications - 29 April 2026
Hello Alchemists,Another update with some new features, quality of life changes, as well as bug fixes! There is now an option to craft the maximum amount of a recipe with one click.The gif is a bit funny as it makes the ingredients look like they're going in both directions. But they're all going into the cauldron! Steam has a size limit for gifs so I had to upload a low frame rate clip.Foraging Size DetailsNext up is the foraging size upgrade. I've seen a few questions about how it works and confusion about whether the upgrade was working or not. To clear up the confusion I've created new icons as well as added more descriptions to the upgrade text.The icons are a little small but the bars inside each grid represents the strength. So the center tile starts at max base damage 3. The outer start at 0, and can be upgraded to do 1, 2, or 3 base damage. Only so much you can fit in a 16x16 i…
