Pet feature added at 3-2-50, it includes 20 Pets and 30 Combo that can be done by making the perfect team! It was added early to give a small thing to do before reaching Ascension for the first time.
Android & Steam Account linking is now possible, just create an account, and login on the other platform with it, the linking is automatically done, it's in beta so proceed with caution (I recommend to make a backup of your save, join the discord and look at the F.A.Q to have more information on how to do it).
Ascension #1 also have new bonus related to Pet that can be found under information (bottom right blue "i" button).
Spooky cosmetic added (find the code around, be a patreon or just buy in the soul shop), as a small event thing (there will be real event later but for now I'm focusing on content rather than limited time content).
1 Music and 2 Sounds have been added as well.
Trick OR Treat Code. Trick = 2500 Soul, Treat = 8 Potions (Attack & HP / Potato & Class Exp / Skulls & Confection). You can only pick one, choose carefully.
Cosmetic Price in the Soul Shop have been lowered from 10$ to 3$ and Cart from 5$ to 2$ (this is permanent).
Soul sale has been changed to new item/qol options.
3 Soul Upgrade for Pet.
Patreon monthly rewards have been reset (it also include a new event cosmetic).
Updated:
World 4 & 5 Stats have been revamped to allow a smoother progression.
Cow Shop Page 1 won't reset anymore when ascending (the ascension prompt does explain this, so the rocket has been removed).
Node for Dungeon Damage & Dungeon Reward in the Talent Tree have been changed to Pet Level Exp.
Talent Auto Save on Reincarnation won't happens if the current Loadout has more points.
Exit Button should now properly save offline AND online again, please let me know if it doesn't properly save or does weird stuff.
Skull & Cow Upgrade in Ascension unlock reduced from 3 to 2 points, Milk Upgrade increased from 2 to 3 points.
Reincarnation 3rd layer Upgrade that increase the minimum Item Rating Range price was lowered from 30 to 10 points.
Challenge 9 and 10 have been reworked to make them better and more challenging without being impossible without the perfect build.
Reincarnation Infinity Corner now displays the cost instead of level in the box under the upgrade.
Improved the Save & Exit (I'm still unsure why it's having so many issue, as it use the same system as the setting or auto save which never fail).
Whack Auto Play max Upgrade is now 5.
Ascension #6 to 10 are now available (it's only for endgame player that want to keep going, remember that a lot of the next few feature will be around A#2-5, so it's normal that the current ascension scaling is really big, it's a work in progress).
Lowered some x-9 area monster per wave requirement.
Fermenting Unlock reduced again.
Fixed:
Soul 'Skull' Item was giving 100% Skulls bonus instead of 25% (yes i'm sorry, that P2W issue has been fixed ... and because I'm a really nice guy, I added a 1.5 multi by default, it should cover the loss).
Reincarnation Infinity Corner 'Upgrade All' was displaying the wrong bonus on the multiplier part of every Upgrade (sorry).
Labour Begone Challenge won't give Skull offline anymore (this was allowing player to set the starting Area in a place where they would instantly die).
Various places in the Talent Tree where the bought path were a bit off, and some typo in the new display of cost.
Offline Materials starting in Area 3-7 weren't given properly, it had a 1 range difference.
A few nodes in the talent tree had the wrong cost or golden line wasn't showing.
Cow Custom Input in the Soul Shop won't show maxed at 1/2.
I did a lot more fixes and small changes, but there was just too much to add to the patch note (and also, I forgot most of them :p)
Little Upcoming Roadmap
Greetings dear Farmers,
I have been working on the new feature and it is making good progress, I will start live testing in a few days and expect a release in about 2-3 weeks, it's placed at 3-2-50 before Ascension so it will also help early players as so far the "slowest" place before Ascension is 3-2 to 4-1, but it will not be completely game changing as I do not want to break the current balance too much.
This new feature is "Pet" (and not the dungeon as the "soon" button says), because while I was preparing the dungeon I wanted to finally go a similar way to WAMI, which led me to find something else instead, and Pet (as it was planned that we add them later) sounded really cool to me.
Pets are not random like gear, but can be unlocked at various points when you reach a milestone. You create a team and can get special bonus combos depending on what Pets you have on a team. There is a loadout so you can save the most important ones you have found
Not only can you equip a team of pets, but you can also send them to a dungeon later. You can think of it like an expedition system (which exists in many games), where you choose a duration and a dungeon, and then get a reward based on various parameters. The rewards also include maps that are part of another feature. So the content will come in 3 parts, each part is a separate feature, but in the end it will be one big one (hopefully I am doing it right :p, but feedback and testing will hopefully make it happen).
So expect Pets > Dungeon > Card, and between Dungeon and Card "maybe" the Ascension Missions, which are different from the Challenge.
Thanks for your support and participation in the community (almost 10K members on Discord).

Your best Whack score is now saved per Ascension, and won't go below this threshold before you reach this multiplier again (allowing you to whack with your best actual multiplier).
Updated:
Residue Shop Page 1 ‘Reincarnation exp’ upgrade based on total residue now more clearly specifies that it's based on total residue created this Ascension.

Whack Bonus will not give the ‘5 Souls’ bonus if the daily soul limit (500) is reached (although if all other buffs are activated it will again award 5 souls).

Inventory bag not always registering the scroll / clicking together.
Ascension Perk for ‘Faster Milking’.

Changed an icon in the Residue shop (Enhancing Material quantity doubled when scraping an Equipment)
Hotfix V0.25-2:
Reincarnation Exp has been modified to match how it was before 0.25. There had been a bug that was incorrectly applying reincarnation node modifiers to reincarnation xp as a whole. However, fixing this was a bigger nerf than intended. This has been reversed. Instead, the challenge 8 reward and the reincarnation shop layer 6 perk have been changed to reflect what they were doing before, which is applying an increase to reincarnation xp overall.
German language players can now access Ascension.
Whack Maxed icon is now accurate.
The map should now open properly.
Info about Ascension now unlocks at 4-1-50.
Chinese/Russian/Japanese/Korean fonts are now showing properly.

When the equipment menu, clicking on the Farmer will cause him to revive, just like the restart button on the home screen. Farm your gear more efficiently!
Please note that this is a big patch and testing is both time consuming and challenging with low numbers of people. There will ***very likely be changes,*** both boosts and nerfs, to improve balance as we see the results of this major update. Remember, as the player base in an early access game, we all share the load of helping to test and debug along with the developers. Regarding the parts of the update that are still locked, we’ll be working with some of the players to test the challenges and extra ascension levels as they progress, and those will be unlocked for everyone as soon as possible.
