[h2]A small (but important) correction to the German translations.[/h2]

While correcting the German language translations, a previously unnoticed old bug with the incorrect chocolate tempering temperature reappeared in one of the first tutorial missions – instead of 42°C in the mission text, it shows 32°C.

• [All] The incorrect tempering temperature in the German language version has been fixed – it is now 42℃ instead of 32℃.
  

*[All] -> changes apply to all versions of the game (Full, Demo and Prologue)

[h3]🌟 CHANGES AND ADDITIONS:[/h3]

• The sound of the bell/whistle indicating the end of a machine's operation would sometimes play slightly too early, which could confuse players and cause the machine to be turned off prematurely (resulting, for example, in untempered chocolate). The sound has now been delayed and should always play after the notification, not before.
  
• The phone sound will now be muted when the player is using the book or interacting with blocking windows (popups, chocolate packaging selection etc)
  

[h3]🐞BUG FIXES:[/h3]

• The mercury in the thermometer should now scale correctly and no longer extend beyond the thermometer model at higher temperatures.
  

[h3]🛠 KNOWN ISSUES:[/h3]

• Nougat occasionally fails to transfer the entire specified amount to the Melanger or trash.
  
• Improvements and changes to translations are ongoing (German translation currently requires the most attention).
  

Changes and additions:
- Added an "Interaction sensitivity" slider to the game settings, allowing to adjust how much input is required during interactions with various objects or controllers (e.g., stirring or turning valves).
- Slightly improved the readability of the total amount of additives on the blackboard displaying the current order.
- The Furnace's technical condition now deteriorates more slowly, reducing the frequency of required repairs.
- Resized slightly the board that's displaying the currently active order to improve its readability.
- It's no longer possible to remove or place a new chocolate bar on the topping area while the Tempering Machine is active.

Bug fixes:
- Added an extra safeguard to help players in situations where they get "stuck" during the mission to install the robot's hand. This issue is typically caused by having an active order, which must be completed before answering the phone and accepting the mission-related order.
- After fixing the save-related bug, some players affected by this issue might have lost their wrench. To compensate, we have significantly reduced the price of the wrench in the shop for a limited time to ensure everyone can afford to buy a replacement.
- Fixed a bug that allowed items to be placed too quickly, which occasionally caused them to fall through the floor.
- Fixed the functionality of the recipe note. It now displays correctly and no longer switches to a recipe other than the one pinned.
- Improved Nougat's pathfinding in several areas.

Known issues:
- Nougat occasionally fails to transfer the entire specified amount to the Melanger or trash.
- Improvements and changes to translations are ongoing (German translation currently requires the most attention).

The Tempering Machine will no longer be unlocked at the start of the game. This also fixes the issue of not being able to unlock it if not yet unlocked.
