<big>'''Hotfix 1'''</big>
* Fixed the issue where the quest tracker was behaving oddly.
 
 
=== Beta 22.42===
<big>'''6/28 2024'''</big>
The combat balance adjustments are still in progress. Tomorrow's update will include adjustments to penetration, PV, DV, and damage resistance at higher levels.
 
[Additions and Changes]
* Large tents will be made larger.
* Roofs can now be displayed inside tents.
* The third job/hobby for residents will no longer be generated (this may return as an effect of new artifacts, etc., in the future).
* Sort settings for buying and selling will be saved separately from the usual sort settings. The window will always sort when opened.
* Hand and area-of-effect attack spells can now be used with the F key.
* When using advanced distribution, the settings will also apply to items delivered by residents.
* The feedback screen will now have save data attachment enabled by default (experimental).
* Automatic watering will continue even if there are unreachable tiles.
* Windows can only be placed in the player's base.

* Updated Chinese translation.
 
[Fixes]

* Fixed a bug where items with a non-sellable tag were calculated at their original value when computing family heirloom rank.
* Various minor fixes and adjustments.
* Various minor fixes and adjustments.


[Notes]
[Notes]
* Vitality, mana, and speed will only increase through racial base values, equipment, and feats in Elin, with no increase from experience.
* In the basket mini-game, the only condition that counts as a miss is throwing a new Snow Putit before the previous one lands in the goal.
* The main balance adjustments in the β version target levels equivalent to a danger level of up to about 25 floors. Balancing at higher levels, both in combat and production, is provisional (though some adjustments will be ongoing). Generally, we aim for levels above danger level 40 to be quite challenging even for well-prepared players. This is because future updates will greatly empower players through quest rewards, companion enhancement features, equipment strengthening functions, and more.
* Regarding wrench usage for tents, the tent must first be entered to generate the map. Unused tents cannot be targeted.
* Pet enhancement via Backer Wishes is planned and may be introduced during the β period. This likely involves using feat points to teach or enhance skills and feats for pets. This relates to the egg hatching function, envisioning that long-raised pets will ultimately become stronger than high-level monsters captured later.

<big>'''Hotfix'''</big>

* Adjusted the AI for Paladins slightly.
* If a roof appears in a fenced area, you can change it to no roof from the house board. Additionally, if there are multiple rooms inside the house, you can change the room groups with the room board and set different roofs for each group by placing house boards for each. All fixed maps are built using the in-game build mode, so refer to the buildings in fixed maps to see what kind of constructions are possible.
* Fixed an issue where certain ranged weapons triggered auto-combat when used with right-click.
* Harvested crops from auto-farming will be stacked beyond the enchant level stack tolerance to avoid scattering. (In such cases, the enchant level will be changed to the average value of the stacked items.)
* Changed the "Echo" enchantment to a trait.
* Due to the structure of Elin's item categorization, the tree format allocation can be a bit cumbersome (some items are set to the parent category itself, making it impossible to toggle on/off all the child categories at once). However, improvements are planned if possible.

* Prepared dishes and preserved foods sold in stores will now have a "discount" tag. Items with discounts or markups will have this clearly indicated in the tooltip.
* Fixed a bug where some stores were selling too many seasonings.
* This should technically be a HotFix, but the version is updated due to necessary translation updates.
 
  In Auto-Farming, adjacent crops of the same type gradually become uniform in variety and quality to prevent the harvested products from being mixed. If you wish to avoid this, try planting crops one space apart or intersperse them with different types of crops. In future updates, I may adjust this so that the uniformity of varieties (enchants) only occurs when the seeds are at level 1.


=== Beta 22.35===
=== EA 23.25===

* Regarding the balance of end content (approximately danger level 50 and above), temporary adjustments will be made soon. As mentioned earlier, comprehensive adjustments are planned for the latter half of the beta test, but feedback is always welcome. If diving into levels above 200, attaching save data would be helpful.
* Due to an increase in unknown PC crashes since yesterday, there is a risk of game file corruption. Updates may be temporarily paused until my new PC arrives if the crashes continue.

Then, based on feedback, adjustments are made gradually if things seem off from the initial assumption. Long-term adjustments are considered for balance.

[Note]
  Regarding the changes to Ether Disease yesterday, it has been confirmed that curing Ether Disease, which had already manifested in previous versions, would be based on the effects of the new Ether Disease. For example, if the old Ether Disease reduced magic by -15, curing it would only restore the -4 from the new Ether Disease effect, resulting in a discrepancy of -11. Unfortunately, it is difficult to fully correct this issue, so a "Fix_EtherDisease" command has been added to the console.
 
  If you experience the above symptoms, open "System Menu > Others > Console" and enter "Fix_EtherDisease". This will cure all current Ether Diseases, and if your status is below the initial value, it will be restored to the initial value +1. If there is still a significant difference from the original status, please adjust it using SetElement in the console, or contact me via Discord or the feedback section. I apologize for the inconvenience.

  As I mentioned in the previous note, we are planning to hold the beta on Friday, June 7th. Here are the elements I hope to introduce by then. The % adjustment for Ether Disease is something I've wanted to implement for a long time, but it has been postponed due to programming complications with Elin. I'm thinking of a good way to handle it.

* Investment in healers is now possible.
* Refurbished the Truce Grounds (maps from versions prior to this update will regenerate once. As quests will eventually be added to this area, it may be best not to destroy it indiscriminately).
* Unidentified items will not be selectable as target items for collection requests.
* Added a statue of Jure, which now appears randomly in locations like Nefia.
* Escort targets can now push companions out of the way. In towns, requests will not fail if the escort target moves away from the player character (PC), allowing for safe exits.

* Fixed a bug where farmers could craft shipment boxes.
 
* Fixed a bug where the current Nefia would be deleted upon moving to a different floor when its time limit expires. The intended behavior is that the Nefia should not be deleted while inside it, even if the time limit has passed.
* Various other minor fixes and adjustments.


[Notes]
=== EA 23.6===
* The plan is to ease the difficulty of the very beginning stages by the beta release. Rather than just adjusting numbers, we are considering introducing features or items that make the game more enjoyable (feel free to share any good ideas you might have).
<big>'''10/30 2024'''</big>
* As for guild quests and rewards, they are currently treated as passive quests and rewards in Elin, resembling daily quests that are completed without active effort. When higher ranks are unlocked and players can exclusively advance within specific guilds, more interesting features might be possible. However, since there are multiple guilds and a lot of content, this will likely be delayed due to the current individual development situation.
* Regarding the War-Torn Ivan, faith can be placed in it, but its implementation is not yet complete. Full implementation is planned within a few days.

* Introduced two new feats, "Heavy Eater," which reduces hunger recovery from meals (nutrition remains the same), and its opposite, "Light Eater," assigned to certain races. (Outside of initial feats, it’s under consideration to make this available as a shift option or similar for PCs and companions. The penalty for Light Eater can be ignored with careful meal planning.)

[Mod Notes]
* Harvest quests will not result in a crime if non-harvestable crops are collected (though nothing will be obtained).
* Currently, if a feat is added by a mod and then the mod is removed, any skills or other stats granted by the feat remain. While this is an area of improvement we’d like to address in the core game, changes may need to coincide with a save data reset if required in the future.
* Escort targets that have completed their quests will disappear after a certain period.
* For loading mods when launching Elin outside of Steam, the feature is already present, so this should be enabled from the EA version onward (currently, it tries to load the workshop folder for the production version of the app, so the feature is inactive).
* When auto-combat is initiated against an NPC with the "Invincible" tag, auto-combat will be interrupted. The "Invincible to Enemies Only" tag on Faris will be changed to the "Invincible" tag.
* NPCs with the "Invincible to Enemies Only" tag will take damage from attacks by PC allies.
* When hovering the mouse cursor over the taxes on the home bulletin board, a breakdown of the taxes will be displayed.

[Notes]
* Please expect a fair number of bugs from the past two months. Please report any issues using the bug report form.
* Balancing has been adjusted, with a gentler HP growth compared to the α phase. The mid-game might feel tougher as a result. This is intentional, as more powerful artifacts, enhancement items, feats, and features will be introduced later. For now, the difficulty is set to be more challenging.
* To display damage as numbers, change "showNumbers" to true in config.txt. Note that this setting cannot be changed in-game since mid-α.

* There won't be any special announcements, but around the 25th-26th, the playtest will be renamed to Beta, and the pre-beta build will be uploaded. Once the release is complete, a post will be made in this channel.
* Item acquisition rates in jobs and hobbies are all influenced by the efficiency of the resident performing them. Treasure hunting will also be attempted based on the number of residents with that job or hobby.
*
* Gene drops follow the same conditions as for regular enemies’ loot drops (applies only when not allies, residents, or while in user maps). However, as there are currently limited means of obtaining genes, they will temporarily also drop in user maps.
* The general distribution of beta keys is planned for early June. This is to ensure that major bugs and balance issues are fixed before those playing Elin for the first time can play the game, as their fresh feedback are important and I want them to be not distracted by bugs or balance issues..

[Note]
* Due to changes in the metadata format of Moon Gates, using Moon Gates from the alpha version of Elin might result in errors.
* Files and folders previously stored alongside the executable have now been moved to the same location as save data. This change is intended to prevent files from being overwritten during updates and to avoid potential issues with integrity checks that may detect modifications to these files. If any issues or unexpected behavior arise due to this change, please consider reporting them.
* Mods from the alpha version will not be compatible with the beta version. Starting from the beta, please add a <version></version> tag in the package.xml of the Mod and specify the version in which the Mod's operation is confirmed. Documentation for this will be provided in the future.
* Save data compatibility will be maintained as much as possible from the beta onwards; however, there might be instances where compatibility is lost due to specification changes. Additionally, since the game is still in development, items that are intended to be quest rewards, such as Moon Gates and Stargazer's Moon Gates, might be obtainable through unintended means before the quests are introduced. Your understanding is appreciated.
* Due to the short update intervals of the game, Chinese translations are currently lagging by several versions. Options such as releasing the Chinese version on a separate branch are being considered for the future.

[Additions and Changes]
* Guests at the home will now generate with pocket money. The amount will be influenced by their hobbies and jobs.

[Fixes]
* Various minor fixes and adjustments.


[Notes]
[Notes]
  The concept of tax-exempt zones has been introduced. The initial land is tax-exempt from the start, and players can have two additional tax-exempt zones (currently). Income from non-tax-exempt land will be heavily taxed. This change is to prevent inflation from creating multiple profit-focused homes, especially with the introduction of home ranking rewards and tourism income. Many players may want to minimize home management to focus on adventuring, and the main Elin storyline envisions operating around 2-4 homes. In the future, it might be possible to increase the number of tax-exempt zones by, for example, paying an additional 10,000 Oren monthly tax per zone (assuming each developed home generates more than this amount per month).
* Experience points will be gained upon casting the identification spell, even before an item is actually identified, as intended.
* Unopened treasure chests with enhancement levels, as well as furniture enhanced with a wrench, already carry intrinsic value as heirlooms, given the associated cost. Further adjustments for added value are not currently planned.
* Newly added or modified feats for races and professions will not apply to existing characters. Apologies for the inconvenience-due to data limitations, this cannot easily be changed. Possible remedies such as character regeneration or gene-based solutions are being considered.

* The tax evasion skill will not apply to additional taxes. If multiple homes have the tax evasion skill, the total value will be used. Skills that use the combined total value of multiple homes' skills will be specified in the skill descriptions.
* The ordinance for substitute tax payment has been abolished (no longer necessary).
* Added "Pioneering Advice" to Loytel's dialogue.
* Detailed the information that can be viewed from the "Locations" section of the journal.

Given the demand for certain skills, there may be an option for the mysterious young girl to sell genes containing only specific skill memories.
* It took longer than I expected, "The Gold Beneath" quest is finally finished. It seems developing quests and scenarios takes the longest in Elin, as it involves creating dialogues, settings, and translations. In the beta, I plan to gradually introduce subquests.
* In both the Japanese and English versions, the terminology for gene dominance and recessiveness includes playful language.
* Regarding Specwing’s adventurers, the fairy town is intentionally designed as a gathering place for adventurers.

  • Fixed an issue where auto-combat tactic type settings would not take effect until gameplay resumed.
  • Fixed duplicate parent IDs in character generation (existing data may now have young male characters with an archaeologist parent and young female characters with an uncle parent).
  • Fixed a bug where the luck multiplier effect from Ehekatl's equipment bonus did not apply to residents or allies with a base luck of zero.

  • Various other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

  • Creating a field and digging with a shovel yields soil of that type, currently available in unlimited quantity.
  • Dice rolls decrease when equipping fist weapons, by design (fist weapons’ performance fully combines with unarmed attack capabilities, including enhancement levels and penetration, which can make them overly powerful with enchantments or upgrades).
  • If movement is blocked by an obstacle, self-harm may occasionally trigger teleportation.
  • Piety is a hidden value.
  • If unable to speak with Fiama or Ash, it’s likely they are angry and neutral. Try talking through the middle-click menu, kill them temporarily, or allowing a few days to pass.

[Notes] The save data backup function only creates backups; manual copying is necessary for restoration. For more details, please refer to the System section in Travel Wisdom. A solution for lost invoices in the Loytel debt quest is under consideration, so please wait a bit longer. Currently, there is too much feedback to read everything, so finding a better approach is being considered.

  • Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

  • The Sun Lamp emits sunlight even when its light is off (also when there is no power).

[Mod Notes]

  • Currently, if a feat is added by a mod and then the mod is removed, any skills or other stats granted by the feat remain. While this is an area of improvement we’d like to address in the core game, changes may need to coincide with a save data reset if required in the future.
  • For loading mods when launching Elin outside of Steam, the feature is already present, so this should be enabled from the EA version onward (currently, it tries to load the workshop folder for the production version of the app, so the feature is inactive).

Hotfix 1

  • Fixed an issue where the effects of the "Heavy Eater" and "Light Eater" feats were not applied correctly.

Hotfix 2

  • The “Seasoning” slot in cooking recipes now requires items categorized as “Seasoning” rather than items labeled as “Seasoning.”

[Fixes]

  • Fixed an issue where stacking status effects on bosses did not increase their resistance to that effect.

[Notes]

  • Item acquisition rates in jobs and hobbies are all influenced by the efficiency of the resident performing them. Treasure hunting will also be attempted based on the number of residents with that job or hobby.
  • Gene drops follow the same conditions as for regular enemies’ loot drops (applies only when not allies, residents, or while in user maps). However, as there are currently limited means of obtaining genes, they will temporarily also drop in user maps.

[Fixes]

  • Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Note]

  • Files and folders previously stored alongside the executable have now been moved to the same location as save data. This change is intended to prevent files from being overwritten during updates and to avoid potential issues with integrity checks that may detect modifications to these files. If any issues or unexpected behavior arise due to this change, please consider reporting them.

EA 23.3

10/28 2024

  • Fixed a bug that caused unique character traits (such as a Yowyn horse’s speed) to disappear when adjusting levels for characters like infants or bosses during generation.
  • Various other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

  • Experience points will be gained upon casting the identification spell, even before an item is actually identified, as intended.
  • Unopened treasure chests with enhancement levels, as well as furniture enhanced with a wrench, already carry intrinsic value as heirlooms, given the associated cost. Further adjustments for added value are not currently planned.
  • Newly added or modified feats for races and professions will not apply to existing characters. Apologies for the inconvenience-due to data limitations, this cannot easily be changed. Possible remedies such as character regeneration or gene-based solutions are being considered.

[Fixes]

  • Corrected the swapped positions of "Talk" and "Attack" options when using middle-click.
  • Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

  • Evolution species not being included in the Warrior Guild's bounty hunts is currently intentional, as they are considered neutral beings.

EA 23.2

10/27 2024

[Additions and Changes]

  • Evolved monsters in a neutral state that always drop genes now appear randomly.
  • Adjusted the traits of the final traces of faint goodwill left in this unbearable world.

[Notes]

EA 23.1

  • The mysterious young girl now sells brain cells.
  • The development level of Little Garden now rises based on the number of Littles saved and decreases based on the number of Littles who have perished when the map regenerates.

  • Stationary enemies will no longer track the PC through pathfinding if the PC moves out of range.

[Fixes]

  • Fixed an issue where Heavy Armor Casting was no longer showing as an acquirable feat.

  • Corrected an issue preventing torii gates from being stacked on pillars outside of Debug Mode (proper placement is on top of pillars).
  • Various other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

  • Feedback on previous versions and ideas for improvements are always welcome. For pet skill acquisition, the current balance will remain (skills through skill books or genes). Given the demand for certain skills, there may be an option for the mysterious young girl to sell genes containing only specific skill memories.
  • In both the Japanese and English versions, the terminology for gene dominance and recessiveness includes playful language.
  • Regarding Specwing’s adventurers, the fairy town is intentionally designed as a gathering place for adventurers.
