The Magical Mixture Mill (Steam) EA Update #3 (2023 July 27)

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 the time of day.
  • We will add routines to other NPCs 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.

• 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.
