Hello GuildMestars,

This edition of Developer insights brings a recap on a new addition that was added in the last update and the changes coming to it. If you haven't checked out update 0.1.2.0 yet and tried your hand at Construction then beware spoilers ahead.

One upgrade available with the last update was the Kitchen, upon which purchasing unlocked the ability to cook meals for your adventurers. These meals provide temporary buffs for the weeks expeditions at the cost of some guild coin. Combining different ingredients provides an array of results with different types of ingredients providing a synergistic bonus to each flavor. Each week only 1 of each ingredient was available causing you to creating a new combination per meal served that week.

In the coming update some of these interactions will be changed. First and foremost ingredients will no longer automatically restock each week. They will need to be purchased individually to add to your stockpile, with an increasing cost multiplier per purchase per ingredient that is lowered at the beginning of each week. This change allows for ingredients to be used multiple times per week while maintaining the desired incentive to use different ingredients, and as a result meal fees are now free to compensate for the moved cost.

Secondly these changes act as a step in the right direction for a future update revolving around the way characters perform expeditions. And finally addition ingredients and flavors will be available in the coming update though we are not yet ready to reveal them.

More to come soon, at this point in time the next update SHOULD be out before the end of the month, barring no massive changes. This update has already seen some ideas moved around and has therefore been quite volatile on its completion date. Stay tuned!
