NPCs standing on pillars of fire now move to other tiles while screaming.
Disassembly tools now use the Anatomy skill.
Added a "Custom" folder to the Elin save data directory, allowing for easy addition or modification of custom replacement images. (Currently includes only a portrait replacement folder.

Explosions from destroyed Flare Stones now count as triggered by the player.

EA 23.52 (Nightly)

12/8 2024

The Yeek Cave is now open (no bosses yet).
Improved Fog of War.
Changed the timing for the hotbar toggle tutorial to appear when an item is placed on the hotbar.

[Notes]

EA 23.51 (Nightly)

12/7 2024

EA 23.50 (Nightly)

12/6 2024

[Additions and Changes]

Investments can now only be made in PC bases or towns.
Status ailments for the opponent, PC, and PC’s allies are now cured at the end of sparring sessions.
Fullness will no longer reset upon death if fullness is above a certain threshold.
Keypad Enter is now supported for confirmations, such as quantity adjustments and detector keywords.
Designated important food items will no longer be consumed automatically.
Added the racial feat "From the Northern Lands" to Norland, along with new starting skills.
Added the racial feat "Rare Breed" to Roran and merfolk. (The effect on genetic compatibility reduces the required gene slots for genes needing two or more slots by one.)
Feats "Fast Learner" and "Rare Breed" are now recessive traits and cannot be removed.

[Fixes]

Fixed an issue where internally specified potions (e.g., healer shop items or Loytel's quest rewards) could generate non-stackable potions with unintended effects, such as poisons or acid resistance coatings. (Potions generated before this version will remain unstackable indefinitely.)
Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Initial crafting items, such as buckets, now have a low chance of being generated as loot. Specific details about items and similar data are adjusted periodically without explicit mention in release notes.
Faith bonuses now increase based on the number of days of faith in addition to piety improvements.
Farming through fast travel isn’t currently planned for restriction. However, adjustments like reducing market value for repeatedly sold identical items may be considered in the future.

EA 23.49 (Nightly)

12/5 2024

[Changes and Additions Outside the Game]

Official tags and categories for mods can now be set in the Steam Workshop.
Documentation on setting Workshop Tags is available in the "Development Nook."

[Changes and Additions]

The strength of Mani's genes now depends on the generation level of Mani's statue.
Tags in package.xml are now registered to the Workshop during mod uploads.
NPCs now sleep facing the same direction as the PC when sharing a bed.
The maximum number of residents transferable to Covenant Stones is now calculated based on the combined levels of Covenant Stones at each base.
Added portraits for the Exile.
Added "Flower Crown" to the initial handmade recipes.
Added new NPCs, "Pastry Chef" and "Miner," and placed them in several towns.
Bakers now sell cookies as well.
Increased magic resistance for "Moonlit Bell."
Added "★Ribbon" to Miralgalrok's exchange items.
Added a peculiar pillow.
Errors during mod uploads now display the error details.

[Fixes]

Fixed an issue where the size of save data would increase every time you saved while using the cloud.
Fixed an issue where resident and faith taxes were not being applied outside tax-exempt zones.
Addressed a delay when entering the global map for the first time after loading a game with many companions.
Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Multiple NPCs on the same tile primarily occur as a fallback when no vacant tiles are available or during specific interactions. In general, adjustments will be made gradually to prevent exploiting this state for experience farming.

EA 23.48 (Nightly)

12/4 2024

 The location of the backup folder will change from "Elin/Save/Backup" to "Elin/Backup." If the "Elin/Backup" folder already exists for any reason, the backup folder will not be moved automatically.

 This version includes significant changes to the internal save/load system, which may cause save/load processes to become unstable. It is recommended to back up all save data from the standard version separately from the Nightly save data for safety.

Elin generates a large number of save files with substantial file sizes. To optimize Steam Cloud usage, save files are compressed into zip format each time you save. It's possible that moving this compression process to occur only at the end of a game session could speed things up. We'll consider this approach based on user feedback.

If the position of widgets shifts when loading from cloud saves, try adjusting the widget anchors. For example, if the anchor is set to the top left, the widget's position will be saved and loaded relative to the top left corner of the screen.

During the Early Access period, we plan to focus on balancing primarily for floors 1–50, with adjustments extending to around floor 200 in the Void Dungeon. For floors beyond that, if major balancing adjustments are required, we may implement interim fixes or simpler adjustments like the one in the last nightly update. Additionally, as we have limited game data for high-level scenarios, attaching your save data in your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

[Additions and Changes]

NPCs now destroy fishing results when their inventory is full and cannot pick them up.
Adjusted some of Mesherada's dialogue (Since the name "Hathaway" is not intended to refer to a specific individual but rather to "that person" yet to be seen, akin to Beatrice in Re:Zero. In the player's case, they are the one she is searching for.).
The enchantment effects "Travel Speed Increase" and "Magic Enhancement" no longer scale with level.
Kicking NPCs who obstruct construction no longer reduces karma.
NPCs will now be kicked even in Build Mode when constructing impassable blocks above them.
Minions can now be banished even if they are far away.
Minions will drop meat and genetic materials less frequently.
NPCs above level 1000 will gain speed adjustments every 100 levels (provisional change to avoid excessive power).
Changed the location of the backup folder.
Experimental support for Steam Cloud.

[Fixes]

Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

The selection of goods from exotic merchants does not change even when they are at the player's base. However, unlocking guild ranks may introduce services unavailable at the base.

EA 23.47 (Nightly)

12/3 2024

[Additions and Changes]

Pebbles and (swimming) fish on the map no longer consume fertility points, as they are sometimes used as base decorations.
In user maps, the invisibility flag for Covenant Stones, Waystones, impassable furniture, and similar items is now removed.
In user maps, no more than three NPCs will be loaded on a single tile.
In user maps, no more than 20 items will be loaded on a single tile.
Yakasha statues can now be used for cooking (equivalent to campfires).
Adjusted genetic slots for some Apostle-related genes.
Added behavior settings to multiple NPCs.

[Fixes]

Fixed an issue where items inside locked containers could be submitted for quests. Similar bugs were also fixed.
Resolved an issue where holding a key for continuous attacks no longer worked with keyboard controls.
Fixed the incorrect application of adjusted gratuity amounts for NPC performances.

EA 23.46

12/2 2024

[Additions and Changes]

The name of the "Machine Ruins" has been changed to "Machinarium" to avoid overlap with other ruins.
Adjusted the cost and limits of genetic feats.
New genetic feats have been unlocked.
Some powerful genetic feats now require multiple genetic slots (applicable only to genes generated in this version and beyond).
If Meteor is not registered as a favorite ability, the PC will no longer use Meteor in auto-combat.
Items with different named identifiers will no longer stack.
Some animals will occasionally sleep beside the PC when they rest.
Added the "I'd like to sleep beside you" option to conversations starting with "Actually..."
Added new NPC behavior settings.
Oaths can now be broken by selecting the PC from the resident bulletin board.

[Fixes]

Fixed an issue where enemies visible via telepathy were not targeted for shooting or other actions in auto-combat.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Regarding the damage of high-level enhanced ammunition, if there is more feedback in the future, either the calculation formula will be reviewed or enhancement limits will be set.
As for activities like farming experience points through idle mechanics in user maps, this being a single-player game, a certain degree of leniency is considered acceptable for active exploits.

Hotfix

Fixed an error when generating iron maiden.
Crops can no longer be grown outside of bases or tents.
Fixed an issue where the PC would pat enemies on the head during auto-combat.
Fixed an issue where "Rapid Fire" was displayed as a feat available to the PC.

EA 23.45

12/1 2024

[Additions and Changes]

The Watering Jar can now be used in places where fences, walls, or furniture that blocks movement are placed.
When an egg not owned by the player hatches, the baby will no longer become the player’s pet.
Claiming non-quest-related land will no longer automatically set it as the player’s home or respawn point.
When drunk or confused while mounted, movement may occasionally become unsteady.
For enemies with a single elemental attribute (e.g., Chaos Mushrooms), level adjustments based on their attribute will no longer apply. (Previously, Chaos Mushrooms, which are supposed to be around level 30, were being generated at nearly level 50 due to chaos attribute adjustments.)
When the player sleeps, companions will now also fall asleep.
Several genetic feats have been unlocked.
Maximum acquisition levels have been set for some genetic feats.
Behavioral settings have been added to multiple NPCs.
Updated Chinese translations.

[Fixes]

Corrected an issue where enemies with multiple attributes (e.g., Hounds) became less likely to appear the higher their attribute rank.

Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Holding Shift and right-clicking to equip weapons or shields will equip them to the non-dominant hand.
Starting with tomorrow’s update, crops will no longer grow outside player-owned territories (including tents).
After tomorrow’s update, the update interval for the standard branch of the game will be adjusted to approximately once per week. The main reasons include:
- Adding content such as stories and quests takes several days even for a single update.
- Releasing updates only after sufficient testing through the Nightly branch.
- Aiming to release updates with as few untranslated parts as possible.
- The current update frequency often results in mods breaking with each update, increasing the workload for mod creators.
- Frequent updates have led to confusion and an increase in bug reports related to mods.

Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Fixes]

For "Yith" monsters, additional monsters will be added to their level range in the future, reducing their spawn rate. A rebalancing will be considered at that time.

Fixed an issue where casting party-targeted spells with insufficient stock would switch the target to the caster but still consume MP as if the spell was cast on the party.
Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

(Notification for beta players) The pre-gene synthesis pet growth system is planned for removal. If feat points have not yet been reset, please reset them.

Fixed an issue where dual-wielding could cause ranged talisman effects to target the user in subsequent attacks.

Materials stored in containers within a base can now be selected when using processing equipment (experimental).

Fixed an issue where the "Into Darkness" quest could trigger twice, causing Demitas to multiply (due to changes in quest spawn conditions in the previous patch).

Fixed an issue where, when pasting container settings with a word filter already applied, the old word filter would remain active until the game was reloaded.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Faction effects on divine blessing equipment are only applied when the equipment is directly granted by a god. These effects will disappear if the corresponding god is not worshipped.
Duplicated Demitas does not cause any harm. If this is an issue, please open the console when there are two Demitas and enter "RemoveDemitas."
When Mani's genes are incorporated, the gene's name may change to that of an NPC. This is intentional (the gene itself is not directly Mani's but rather a random NPC gene item labeled as Mani).

Hotfix

Fixed an issue where the party member order reverted to its original position after loading the game, even if it had been rearranged in the Party Information widget.
Corrected a vision check error when using Bolt-type spells.
Adjusted behavior so that movement does not stop on the global map, even when the "Stop moving upon spotting an enemy" setting is enabled.

 I’ve been receiving around 200–300 pieces of feedback per day, which I’m truly grateful for. However, I’m finding it quite challenging to keep up with everything. My PC is still not working well, so until the new one arrives, I’d like to focus on improving my development environment, including looking into recruiting staff to help with feedback and support. As for adding side quests and unique NPCs in towns, I’m hoping to start working on those in December.

Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Regarding wrench usage for tents, the tent must first be entered to generate the map. Unused tents cannot be targeted.

Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

For Zephyr and Gunlance, the occasional firing during melee attacks is intentional.

11/10 2024

Other minor fixes and adjustments.

Resolved an issue in Blackjack where hitting repeatedly would cause the dealer to burst.
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.

EA 23.14

11/4 2024

[Additions and Changes]

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.

Corrected various typos and similar errors.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Currently, it is intended behavior that food-related enchantments are not applied when cultivating medicinal herbs.

If a gene already added is removed with a recessive gene, feat points are returned (although the gene itself does not return).

Altered shrines to be passable items, as they were easily destroyed by rare monsters from the Shrine of Conflict.

EA 23.7

10/30 2024

[Additions and Changes]

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).
Added a statue of Jure, which now appears randomly in locations like Nefia.

Added a statue of Kumiromi, which now appears randomly in locations like Nefia.

[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.”

Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[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.

EA 23.4 Nightly

10/28 2024

[Additions and Changes]

Moved elin.ini to the same location as config.txt. The User folder and temporary Temp folder have also been relocated to the parent folder of config.txt.

[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.

10/28 2024

Added new action settings for monsters.

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.

Hotfix 1

Added poison and hallucination effects to certain monster meats.
Expanded NPC behavior settings.
Fixed an error that sometimes caused freezing when entering a map in winter.
Adjusted crops so they no longer wither in winter as long as there is sunlight.

[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.

Added a new [Base] entry in the Travel Wisdom section of Help, consolidating base-related pages.

[Fixes]

Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

While the Mana Body 2 Feat is somewhat overpowered, this approach allows for some race or class abilities to remain strong. No changes have been made for now, though future adjustments may be considered.

EA 23.1

10/26 2024

Reinstated the “Display damage numerically” option under the Experimental tab in Settings due to popular demand.

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.
Resolved an issue where allies outside of battle were attempting to heal injured allies outside their line of sight.
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.
There are no plans for a specific announcement regarding the final beta test version. The update likely set for October 31st is expected to be the final beta version.
The current drop rate for genes is intended to remain at its present level, though a way to increase the drop rate (such as items) may be introduced in the future.
