Operation Food to Gold News

Update 7 comes quite fast.

I've been working all day and am done with the first batch of art for the production screens in form of 3 new waifus. Commander Yukari has also received a similar visual upgrade.



This update is art only. In the future you will be able to date them and talk to them, similar to Yukari.

Yukari now starts with her hair in front of her eyes, as before, but shows her eyes at level 2 of dating.

There is a catch to this update, that maybe some of you might dislike. I have used AI to help me with the art. The AI generates the line work, I clean it up and color it, so it's kind of 50-50.

Now, before you get mad at me for using AI, please note that. 1. I have to use mouse and keyboard to draw. 2. I'm a programmer and I can't draw. 3. I can't afford an artist, as they are quite expensive.

I know some have a strong opinion on this topic, as it is still pretty new, but I think most of you won't care, as long as the art is personalized and good.

Let me know what you think about it in the steam-community or on discord.

This is for now for this update.
Have fun!

Quick fix.

- Fixed essence extractors offline generation. Now they work properly.
- Fixed an issue, where you were not able to claim the damage control pack if you reloaded your old manual save. Now if you do, it will check if you have claimed it and set it properly to un-claimed.

If you find any more bugs, let me know so I can fix them quickly. Thank you.
Sorry for the bugs. Hope that's all of them.

Added a free, one time claimable package in the options menu, called "Damage Control".

Gives:
10 Chocolates
600 Purple Matter
2000 Purpstige

Those are all purpstige and purple matter upgrades times 3. With this package you can get back to tier 3 of each, since the last update reset everything. You might have been a higher level, but it's not possible to give resources specific to each player.

The package should have been in the game with update 6. Sorry again about the inconvenience cause by this rework.

I will remove it again in a future update, but will leave it now, so all players have a chance to grab it.

Thank you for your understanding. Have fun!

Hello fellow french fry enthusiasts,

hope you all had great holidays and didn't overeat and overdrink. (like me)

Update 6 took me a bit longer, because I was busy remaking the entire production from scratch.

Important: Because everything was redone, your production levels have been reset. For gold that's not really an issue, but it applies also to purpstige, purplematter and essence extractors. You do keep the essence you already have and everything else.

All production screens have ben redesigned.
The feeding page now has buttons with which you can go to each production page. Each resource has it's own page now. You can see a silhouette of a character there. At later updates I will add a different datable character to each page. Dating them brings a discount to your gold upgrades.



Production cost
Gold, Purpstige, Purple Matter and Globblopper costs are now logarithmic instead of exponential. This is the biggest change. In short, before this update the values were multiplying themselves, now they don't.
For example:
level 50 beef - 1.751mil(new) - 117mil(old)

With the old calculations, upgrading beef to level 50 means you need to spend 117 million gold on level 50. Now it's 1.751 million for level 50. The progress is smooth now.

This change will also come to the kitchen and the merch store next update. For now it's only production.

Globbloppers
Added 4 kinds of Globbloppers to the game. Each is unique in it's own way and requires a hefty amount of essence for production. You can then spend them on permanent production upgrades. Each upgrade gives 250 resource per second. It's a lot, but Globbloppers are also expensive. This way, people could focus on wheat with the new resource for example and mitigate the high wheat demand.



Essence extractors
The extractors now all start at level 1 and have a start and stop button. The extractors now do not cost raw resources to upgrade, only prepstige, but they do consume raw resource per second. That's why the start-stop button, so you can control your production better. The prepstige cost has also been reworked to scale properly.


Various other changes:
Added backgrounds to all pages.
Moved prepstige to yukaris page.
Rearranged most buttons.
Changed some resource colors, so things are more clear.

I have a lot more on my to-do list, but this is it for now. Hope you enjoy the new changes.

Have fun and thanks for playing!

- Doubled the base value of gold gain of the kitchen food.

That's all. Thank you for all of your feedback!
Happy Holidays!
