As mentioned in the last news update, this is the maintenance update for the year for Mudborne - just catching up on various gross bugs and niche crashes that have been reported since the last update. Thank you to everyone who has been reporting issues, I appreciate you all <3
While I was tinkering with fixes, I've also put in a couple of QoL changes that I hope people will enjoy, based on different things I've seen people talking about!
The main 'new' ones are around backpacks. First, they will now act as automatic pickup storage, so if you have a stack of something in your backpack and pick up more of that item, it'll go there instead. You'll also use up empty backpack slots if your inventory is completely fully, so a sort of automatic overflow storage!
Secondly, you can now craft with backpack contents - regardless of whether the backpacks are open. I've limited this to non-frog resources, so when trading with Chauna for certain items you'll still need to use either open menu or your own inventory for trading frogs, but I felt that was better than accidentally losing some frogs in your backpacks when trading! For all other normal trading it'll work as normal, just means you don't necessarily have to have the item in your inventory first (which should be much nicer for gamepad).
Finally I've updated the quick-store button to also pull from backpacks too, so combined with the first change you can easily drop off a bunch of crap... I mean, useful crafting resources... from all your backpacks into your neatly organised storage!
Some other small bits include some extra info shown in the encyclopedia book, for example showing icons for what traits a mushroom modifies so you can quickly see all mushrooms you have unlocked that effect that trait - or adding the variant 'code' to discovered frog variants when hovering over the variant icons. You can read the full patch notes below!
Any issues or problems please let me know, either here on Steam, via the in-game form, or just hit me up via email - [email protected]
Finally just a big thank you to everyone who's been playing and enjoying Mudborne! Your support has let me continue making games. While I appreciate Snacktorio might not have been a lot of your cups of tea/coffee/mud, the next game in the works might be more your style...
