Hello everyone,

This patch brings a lot of QoL tweaks and bugfixes, but it also introduces one new Tama that you can fish for (first spot is in Kernel Dump!) Catching this Tama will silently register it in your dex, but it won't show up in the actual dex yet. The [Mythicals Expansion] will bring a batch of new Tama with it, so just consider Cardee to be an early preview of one of those new Tama.

If you've played DW3, you'll know exactly what Cardee is a reference to! ;)

Changelog:

[Features]
* New (fishing) Tama; Cardee (and new fishing spots in Rainlands and Scorching Sands)
* Sewers Bugman shop upgrades after Rain City
* Added a new upgrade item that prevents level up stats gain (but you gain Potential)
* New Type of Chip (one is obtainable inside the [redacted] area in Flatlands)

[QoL/Tweaks]
* Flatland enemy and mechanics tweaks, iframes and more gems from smiley blocks
* Buffed Mono Element run Starters' stats affinities
* Hexou learns Magic Wing at level 2 now
* Exact Evolution requirements shown when Tama is added to Dex
* Luck affects upgrade items chance of inflicting effect
* Kobalth evolution requirements reduced to 30/40
* Snowlands map tweaks
* Upgrades that increase total attack power are now multiplicative
* Renamed 'Recover' to 'Heal' to make it more distinct from 'Recovery'
* Weight % transfer when rebooting is limited to weight gain only
* Battle options can now be cycled through

[Bugfixes]
* Fixed wrong description on upgrade items with % chances
* Fixed the hanging flash on icons in the Tama Potential tab
* Fixed the hanging flash on Tama portraits in the Stats tab
* Menu game pausing tweaks
* Flarle and Rokahtl's Passive fix
* Fixed Bunary's Passive description
* Fixed 'Flare Up' tech type
* Fixed Pierce Upgrades
* Fixed tech descriptions in Techs Dex and Techs Tab
* Fixed Flaming Dive and moves with that type of effect
* Unified generic recoil and burn recoil damage to reduce bugs
* Unified naming ('move' -> 'tech')

And a short-term plan for future patches:
* Focus on remaining bug fixes (if any) and suggestions (QoL/tweaks and nice to have features)
* Exploration of game life extension features like Remote Play (or offline PvP) and New Game+
* Exploration of extra game modes/settings like area level syncing

Until next time,
Stove :v:

Important:
Reboot potential formula changed a bit with this patch - there was a bug with unspent potential affecting reboot potential way more than it was supposed to. It has been tested, but since this is a big base formula change, if you notice any weirdness in stats/game progression now, please let me know right away.
