🍳 New Processing Recipes & QTE Optimizations
[p align="start"]We heard your feedback about making jam being "too tiring" and the QTEs being "too hard," so the ingredient processing system has received a massive burden reduction!✨ New Recipes: The processing station now features new secondary processing recipes for Black Glutinous Rice and Butterfly Pea Flower. Go try out the new crafting routes!
📈 Increased Yields & Easier QTEs:
Grape Jam & Raspberry Jam: Massive yield increase (from 1 to 3 portions!) and completely simplified QTE difficulty. Making jam is no longer a chore!
Boba (Pearl): As a basic, high-frequency ingredient, the QTE difficulty has been significantly reduced.
Green Rice Ball: Yield increased (1 to 2 portions), QTE adjusted to medium-high difficulty.
Bobo: QTE adjusted to medium difficulty.
Mochi: Still retains its current highest-difficulty ranking.
💰 Town Economy Rebalance: Pricing Adjustments
[p align="start"]To ensure your hard work is rewarded more fairly, we've implemented a comprehensive overhaul of the town's prices:☕ Price Increases for Coffee & Select Drinks:
Across-the-board price hikes for coffee drinks! The selling prices for Americano, Latte, Coconut Latte, Iced Americano, Coconut Water Americano, and Orange C Americano have all been significantly boosted (e.g., a max-level Latte went from 60 to 80).
The profit margins for Hand-Mashed Taro Milk Green Tea and Osmanthus Chestnut Hot Latte have also been noticeably increased.
🌱 Cheaper Seeds, Lower Early-Game Costs:
The purchase prices for Red Bean, Raspberry, and Coffee Bean seeds have been heavily reduced (e.g., Red Bean seeds dropped from 80 to 40, Raspberry seeds from 100 to 60).
Meanwhile, the direct selling price of Red Beans has actually increased (from 10 to 15), making farming even more profitable!
🛒 Market Price Adjustments for Finished Ingredients:
Significantly lowered the buying/selling prices for finished ingredients at the shop (such as Taro Paste, Chestnut Paste, Soybean Powder, Mochi, Green Rice Balls, etc.). This means buying certain ingredients for emergencies early on is cheaper, but it also strongly encourages you to turn them into drinks before selling them to maximize your profits!
