• [p]optimisations and tweaks for better performance[/p]

[p][/p][p]Bug Fixes and Other Updates[/p]

• [p]The icon for each tool upgrade now shows up on the Tool Belt![/p]
• [p]The Receipt has had a bit of a rework![/p]

[p][/p]

• [p]The End of Day screen has also been spruced up. There is currently a little gap, it's not a bug but part of a future surprise![/p]

[p][/p]

• [p]The Game Guide has been redesigned![/p]
• [p]The correct glyphs will now show in the game guide when using keyboard and mouse inputs and Xbox gamepads.[/p]
• [p]There is now a dedicated pause menu and the Options have been split into separate tabs; Gameplay, Visuals and Audio.[/p]
• [p]Various text and buttons across the game now respond to font size changes![/p]
• [p]Scroll bars across the game now work with the mouse wheel![/p]
• [p]The customisation interface now remembers its scroll position when reopening it after applying a skin.[/p]
• [p]The mouse cursor is now disabled during loading screens.[/p]
• [p]We've finished implementing the rest of the keyboard hotkeys for various functions around the workshop. Take a look at them via the Control diagram found in the pause menu or press H![/p]
• [p]District customers should no longer ask for trinkets that are not in your Stash, or for ones on the display mat back at your workshop![/p]
• [p]The Day Calendar now reflects market day availability once you've unlocked the City Wide Trade Licence.[/p]
• [p]Individuals in the crowd outside your shop will no longer suddenly disappear.[/p]
• [p]The background art at Chasmside and Wyrd Quarter are no longer cut off when panning the camera.[/p]
• [p]Customers who request dolls are no longer as strict with their requirements for the limbs e.g. you can attach a left leg to the right side and vice versa and they'll accept it.[/p]
• [p]The Quest Tracker will now tell you if Random Spirit customers only want a particular trinket or not.[/p]

[p][/p][p]What's next for controller support![/p][p]We're trying our best to update this all as soon as possible, and are keen to hear your feedback too - but here are the two big things we want to get in asap:[/p]

• [p]RS to scroll down UI with scroll bars (e.g. Trinketpedia, Credits, Quest Tracker) - at the moment you can still use the cursor and A to grab the scroll bar itself and scroll that way.[/p]

• [p]"Snap to" functionality on the Quest Tracker, dialogue boxes and Options menu when using gamepads. Currently all elements of these interfaces can still be navigated by moving the cursor with LS and selecting with A, but we're still polishing the controller functionality on these features.[/p]
• [p]PlayStation pads and Switch Pro controllers will work, but they will show the Xbox control diagram for now.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]ROADMAP UPDATE[/h3][p]Here we are, all done with 1.2 and doing amazing things in preparation for 1.3! We'll spill the beans on 1.3 in an upcoming post, we promise![/p][p][/p][h3]OTHER NEWS[/h3][p]We're excited to be nominated in the DevGAMM Awards, and there's a community vote category, so we thought we'd be cheeky and ask a favour - if you’ve enjoyed Trash Goblin, we’d love it if you could show your support by voting for us here 💚[/p][p][/p][p]So that's it - we're really excited to have you enjoying the game on your Steam Decks, we're keeping an eye out for issues and whatnot in case we need to hotfix, and we're cracking on with all the hard work needed for 1.3 and beyond![/p]

[p]A huge thank you to our lovely Discord member KristinaSvinth who helped us finally track down the elusive stash trinket deletion issue! An exclusive Trash Goblin pin badge is winging it's way to them as we speak.

Along with the two other fixes for trinket deletion that went out in yesterday's patch, we now believe we've nuked all instances of this bug. Thank you for your patience while we got to the bottom of all of these.

[/p][h3]Patch Notes[/h3]

• [p]Upcycling with a full stash no longer causes the final stash slot to become invalid and start deleting trinkets! [/p]

[h2]EDIT: The bug has been found, and the competition is over - so fast! Thanks so much you amazing goblins!
[/h2][p]The dev goblins at spilt Milk Studios never stop wanting the game to be better, and this time we've added some additional logging to help us get to the bottom of an issue where trinkets are sometimes deleted when added to the Stash. [/p][p]We've fixed two other instances where trinkets could be deleted, just to be sure![/p]

• [p]when toggling from the Stash to the Trinketpedia while holding a Trinket's Stash icon.[/p]
• [p]when hard quitting the game while holding a Trinket's Stash icon.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]What was the bug then?[/h3][p]If you had a full stash, then upcycled an item using a trinket from the stash (not anywhere else), and then placed the newly upcycled combo item into your stash without first opening the stash menu, the game would delete the item you just stashed. And then, until you opened your stash menu again, any other item you put in there would get destroyed too. Brutal! 😭[/p][p][/p][p]We're so excited you helped us find and fix it, thank you so much![/p][p][/p][h2]The Competition![/h2][p]We want you to channel Aunty V, and dig away in the game to hunt for this bug and help us squash it forever![/p][p][/p][h3]Bug Description:[/h3][p]Sometimes, trinkets disappear. Not in the "they've gone to your stash" way. Or in the "it's hiding behind something else" way either. This is in the "deleted forever, oh my god my precious Left Doll Leg" kinda way![/p][p][/p][p]We've added a bunch of logging and other bits n pieces to today's update, and with that we' need your help![/p][p][/p][h3]Reproduction Steps:[/h3][p]Now this is where we're not really sure. Things we do know:[/p]

• [p]the bug makes trinkets sometimes disappear when added to the Stash[/p]
• [p]it's inconsistent af[/p]
• [p]some players observed that it happens when filling the very last slot of their stash - but it doesn't happen for them every time... [/p]
• [p]...and for some it's happened when the stash is half empty?! [/p]
• [p]one player observed that when it happens, they don't see the sparkle graphics around the Stash book 🤔[/p]
• [p]it does seem to happen in the course of normal game play - which is why we want footage! We need to observe if you do things in certain ways to bring this about[/p]

[p]So there's not much more that we can say beyond the above, because we're clueless as to how it happens! We do have suspicions about it being something to do with that last slot... but we assume nothing![/p][p][/p][h3]How To Take Part:[/h3][p]The first person to capture the bug on video - with at least the previous 30 mins of play leading up to it - wins![/p][p][/p]

• [p]We'll accept fewer minutes of preceding gameplay if it occurs sooner than that since stating that gameplay session.[/p]
• [p]Basically you should record from the moment you boot the game to be safe.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Submissions:[/h3][p]We need to see the gameplay, and also get hold of your logs and save files.[/p][p][/p]

• [p]Video file, steam video, youtube, or twitch are all valid. As long as we can see it happening![/p]
• [p]Save files - here's how[/p]
• [p]Log files - here's how[/p]

[p]To submit, send it all in as a bug report as per usual in the #bugs-n-feedback channel in our discord. [/p][p][/p][h3]The Prize:[/h3][p]The lucky winner will get one of these TG25 pin badges, one of only 25 in existence! The team all have one, they are super cute and exclusive![/p][p][/p]
