Dear Space Travelers,[/h3]
[b]I'm bringing you some exciting news[/b], as we're heading towards a brand new and improved version of Minicology! As an E-Corp Helperbot unit, I understand the importance of software patches! Improving your functioning and removing hiccups from my system is crucial, which is why Minicology is undergoing (a lot of) changes!
[u][b]TL;DR: We've balanced various gameplay elements to make the gameplay feel more fair, and we've resolved a ton of bugs![/b][/u]

[list]
[*] Reduced price of automation guidebooks
[*] On saving/loading, Resonance Extractor will always restore to 100% health. This prevents issues where players quit during/after the jellyfish invasion event, and next time they start, the extractor is at low health on start
[*] Adjusted repair cost for sidewinder pistol to 2 ingots
[*] Coconuts now have 10 food value
[*] Added "fertilizer" to bookmarked recipes on open terraform chest quest - many streamers I watched didn't realize that fertilizer existed, so trying to make it a bit more obvious
[*] "Power Required" warning for resonance extractor now flashes red and white, hopefully a little more attention-grabbing for players who didn't fully equip a generator (or whose generator was destroyed without them noticing)
[*] Vsync enabled by default. Looking into adding an options toggle for this
[*] Enabled repairs for breechloader rifle
[*] Warsword and battle-axe durability increased
[*] Reduced frequency of jellyfish artillery for vortex solstice event
[*] Reduced number of small jellyfish that spawn during vortex solstice event
[*] Increased drop chance for eggs to drop alongside birdabug house materials when destroying wild birdabug houses
[*] Clicking filter list in research menu now populates all recipes that match that filter, if no item is scanned. Matches search bar behaviour now
[*] Disabled climbing while a menu is active. This reduces instances where players accidentally climb ladders etc while attempting to craft
[*] Buffed durability for bone/claw spear, so they now have greater durability than plain wood spear.
[*] Increased hitbox size for nano-pickaxe, to make collecting crystals easier [/list]

[list]
[*] Bar Extruder now drops items if automation delivers input differant than what is already placed into input slot
[*] Grass should now properly trigger "Axe" nano-tool mode
[*] Grass left behind by "Drosera" grass-plant-eel enemy now drops grass properly
[*] Fixed issue that made slug milker uncraftable. Microchip now requires 'sorted' crafting method
[*] Fixed issue where buffs had outdated "tier" text that caused an appending "1" to appear for every food-based buff in top-menu buff bar
[*] Fixed missing translator credits for Dutch localization
[*] Fixed serum sickness cooldown text being in English, even on non-English localizations
[*] Fixed crash on hammering medi-bay cell holders
[*] Fixed broken text description for cave-in event
[*] Fixed broken text description for ice cream
[*] Fixed bug where multiple foods could be inserted into freezer slot, but would be treated as one food and destroyed on making ice cream.
[*] Fixed issue where mint/ginger/lavender displayed with tag +5 farming, rather than +5 food
[*] Fixed crash on researching ancient syrup
[*] Fixed issue where after saving & loading twice, ice cream would disappear from inventories
[*] Fixed crash on using big drill where if more than 20 stones were "cracked" in quick succession, game would crash
[*] Fixed crash on attempting to cook 3 coconuts into a salad
[*] Fixed broken text tags for coconut defense buff/starburst buff/starlight buff (all stating 0 defense, 0minute duration, etc)
[*] Fixed issue where soda machine tooltip gave overly-detailed charge level data (now rounded to nearest number)
[*] Attempted fix for crash caused by unequipping arc-preview tools (i.e., cloning cell, thrown animals, any range weapon with a path preview)

See you in the Mini-verse!
