Hello Alchemists,Another update with some new features, quality of life changes, as well as bug fixes! There is now an option to craft the maximum amount of a recipe with one click.The gif is a bit funny as it makes the ingredients look like they're going in both directions. But they're all going into the cauldron! Steam has a size limit for gifs so I had to upload a low frame rate clip.Foraging Size DetailsNext up is the foraging size upgrade. I've seen a few questions about how it works and confusion about whether the upgrade was working or not. To clear up the confusion I've created new icons as well as added more descriptions to the upgrade text.The icons are a little small but the bars inside each grid represents the strength. So the center tile starts at max base damage 3. The outer start at 0, and can be upgraded to do 1, 2, or 3 base damage. Only so much you can fit in a 16x16 icon though!Basically the first levels increase the size of the foraging too, up to a max of 3x3. The next levels from 5-12 increase the strength of the side hits.For example, let's say the tiles of location 1 have 3 hp.The base damage of the main hit is 3, while the base damage of the side hit is 1. That's why for location 1, you would need +1 strength for the size upgrade to be able to clear tiles in 2 hits. Hope that clears things up, let me know if you have any more questions! Feature: One of the most requested feature, craft max! This will allow you to quickly craft the maximum possible quantity of a recipe with 1-click. This is available once prestige is unlocked and quick craft is enabled.QoL: Added on screen buttons for navigating the talent tree. Also enabled WASD movement for the talent tree (Thanks @Ulogisk)QoL: Updated icons and descriptions for the foraging size upgrade to be more clear.Balance: Mystic Resonance bonus reduced from 10% to 8%Balance: Crucible Resonance adjusted to have 2 ranks instead of 3. The bonus per level has been increased from 5% to 6% to compensate.B...
Prestige nodes that damage all enemies when stars are clicked now synergize with prestige nodes that give money whenever an enemy is hitAdded 3 new free population prestige milestones to the prestige tree
New Cloud save corruption recovery menu If your cloud save is corrupted, you'll now see a menu to help you decide what to do instead of automatically overriding with the local save — preventing potential progress loss. Steam connection warning - if the game can't connect to Steam at startup, a message will warn you that some features won't be accessible Fixed Active catch not progressing when using auto clicker while the active catch window is outside the mouse area

Hello bosses,We're pulling an incredibly on the nose move and delaying the game launch 1 month from its original May 4th launch to the new date of Thursday, June 4th. Simply put, we've done a massive rework of internal technology and we need the additional time in order to deliver a complete, polished experience to you, our loyal bosses. More information below, as well as some updates on how you can get an early version of 1.0!What happened?We had a version of Pay 2 Win ready to go for 1.0, including all of the new features, QoL, and content updates - however we experienced such massive demand for a Steam Deck compatible version, that we had to go back to the drawing board.We won't bore you with too many technicals, but the visual runtime we relied upon simply didn't support Linux in the way we needed it to. In addition, Pay 2 Win (though 2D!) is a relatively CPU reliant game, and emulating that visual runtime on top of the Unity native stack was leading to performance drops. There was a big effort made in January to alleviate these performance concerns, but ultimately we had to bite the bullet when it came to really making this work natively and smoothly for all players not on high end PCs (looking at you, Steam Deck community!)That rework is now complete, however, and we are back on track for launch. Still, it took longer than expected, and we never want to misplace heroism for a solid end product. In order to give players a smooth, QA'd, and (we hope!) bug-free experience, we needed the extra time to do proper testing, balancing, and implementation of new QoL and other features.Give me the good news!Of course, we have some good news too! All players on launch will be receiving some secret skins and visual interactions for the Streamer unit, free of charge. These were initially planned exclusively for our upcoming content creator campaign, but we've decided to share that work and art with all players as our way of saying thanks for being patient with us.Additional...

AdditionsNew Epic Store Item \ in QoL5 tabAdded quick-access reset buttons. If a Reset Item’s cost is 0 Epic Coins due to the effect of Reset Bundle, a dedicated button will now appear in the relevant UI, allowing you to reset it instantly without opening the Epic Store.

For example, if \ costs 0 Epic Coins, a dedicated reset button will appear in the Guild tab.ChangesNitro Reactor can now be accessed after World Ascension if it has been unlocked at least once through Town \ Rank 3 Epic Store item \ now also performs a reset equivalent to Tier 2 World Ascension without gaining points from current progress.

As a result, after this patch, performing Nitro Reactor Rank Reset will correct Nitro Reactor Points to their proper value.Fixed: General Quest \'s captured count is now correct Fixed: Other minor bugs/typosHello everyone! Thank you all so much for your continued support and feedback. I really appreciate it!I’ve been working on implementing Tier 3 World Ascension for the next major update. It’s coming along, but it’s taking a bit more time than expected. So I decided to release a patch focused on fixes and QoL improvements first. After that, I’ll be fully focusing again on finishing the WA3! I’m really excited to share it with you all!

The day Lazy Train Game released has finally arrived!(Here are some updates since our last post.)Finished off the final two scenarios!Living Room:Future Platform:Reworked Tracks PanelThe tracks panel is now tabbed and searchable. Prior to this the tracks panel had a dropdown at the top, but it was very confusing and many players didn't even know that it had filters and a favorites menu with their hotkeys.Reworked Track Placement and PurchasingAlso notice there is no buy button, nor use button. You just click on the widget to initiate placing them and the tracks are now purchased as they are placed! This solves a very annoying problem where you might buy a very expensive track, only to find out it was the wrong one.Steam Workshop is now Available!You can both play and create custom scenarios in the Steam Workshop. The initial two are a snowy version of the canyon scenario and the second is the original demo scenario. Check out the Guides section for how to create your own scenarios!Added Steam Achievements!There are currently 25 achievements that are unlockable in the game. I hope you find them to give some extra challenge and reward from the game.Added Steam Cloud SupportNot much else to say here...Added Experimental/Beta Language SupportAdded support for German, Spanish, and Russian. However, these are not officially supported yet and are there for your convenience. If you speak any of these languages and notice any issues, please make a post in Steam Discussions Developer Feedback.Special ThanksSpecial thanks to BubletsGaming for all of his help, feedback, and YouTube videos!
