V0.12.03 (August 18, 2025)

New game features

- Added a UI for food management. This is accessed via the bottom HUD navigation bar as a bread icon

-- Players can assign priorities for each food type from a value between 0 and 100. Higher level priority foods are consumed before others.

-- This view lists all food types present in the party inventory when this panel is opened, as well as any previous priorities that were listed before

-- This view also allows the player to quickly toggle on or off whether certain foods are permitted to be eaten, the same as the Do Not Eat / Resume Eating button that appears on food types in the party inventory

-- Field rations have a special highlighted background as they remain the "core" food type for the party

-- The player can reset their food preferences, setting all food priorities back to defaults. Any food type not in the party inventory stops being listed until more is gained back in the future

-- When there are 4 or fewer hours until the party's regular mealtime, and when the party has at least a day's worth of meals in the inventory, the player can click Eat Now to immediately eat

--- While wasteful, this can also help to ensure the party can gain any positive food status effects before a large battle

-- Out of stock foods can be hidden via a toggle. Foods not in stock have their name and quantity texts in a gray color.

-- Added tutorial messages for the crafting and cooking stations

New game content (quests/writing/art/etc):

- Added Minotaur Milk encounter

-- This encounter is found at the Minotaur Camp in Exile's Trailhead and teaches the player the Minotaur Milk buff potion recipe upon completion

-- No random events exist yet for the Minotaur Milk status effect but will be added in soon

Miscellaneous:

- Ingredient pins can now also be placed on food type items

- Added multiple new point of interest icons for some named characters with custom art:

-- Nova's Star Sanctum in the Nova's Academy map

-- Added custom point of interest icon for Candi the Slightly Contagious Bimbo in the Fort Veronica map

- Using potions that grant status effects now has a toggle that permits for the early re-application of the potion's status effect

-- When enabled, party members with partially progress status effects appear at the end of the grid

- Added Flour Store and Produce Crate loot containers and scattered them around some local maps
