Bug Fixes

Starting a new game will now properly keep talent and input saves.
Next Reincarnation Level should estimate more accurately.
Resolved visual issues with Potato and Skull bonuses from Path Challenge
Auto whack auto is now auto on while off(line). Or to be less confusing, it is always enabled when you leave the game.
Balance Changes
Reincarnation Bonus curve decreases above level 3000 to account for Ascension Bonus
Residue prices increase slightly faster with new ways to increase residue income.
Equipment bonuses have been slightly changed in Worlds 3, 4, and 5 to allow the 3 new bonuses.
Amount of Calcium required to unlock Fermenting in the Cow Factory has been reduced.
A new toggle will disable double clicking to equip gear.
Mousing over a bag while holding equipment will get a slight delay before it opens the bag.
The Auto-quest soul purchase will now also redeem the daily code.
A new setting to disable the animated lights in Whack A Potato. Fewer distractions!
Class attribute nodes now note that the bonus is applied retroactively to avoid confusion.
Map difficulty selection is maintained while navigating the map menu. Should make a bit smoother when rapidly advancing levels.
The exp bar in the reincarnation menu will display the amount of exp anticipated for your future level, so you know if pushing just a bit longer will gain you another level.
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.
Ascension Update Release Date
Hey everyone,
The update is confirmed to go live on Thursday September 22nd, it will include a lot of fixes & improvement (mostly based on suggestions made here or on the steam forum).
It contains the 2nd prestige layers (Ascension, which requires Reincarnation Level 3000 and Area 4-1-50), which has been in the works since before the game even came out and should expand the game length by x2~ as it includes over 100 upgrades all around the game that will unlock as you Ascend more & more (yes, I know, it's original!).
There will also be new promo codes both for everyone and some exclusive codes for after ascension (not time limited but permanent).
Also, we are considering all suggestions/feedback (we have a big list that anyone can see on the discord) and we try to do as many changes as we feel are useful for everyone. Some of them take more time but we consider them.
In the near future we want to optimize the game as we heard about many having issue when there is too many potatoes on screen, we hear you and will be looking at this part (for now i can only suggest to turn the battle off and lower fps to 15 from the in game settings)
Thank you very much for all the support! ːsteamhappyː
Hotfix
- Fix: Auto Skull wasn't properly working after the last change, it has been fixed now.
Update V0.24-4:
Change: Auto Skull Premium upgrade will now work a bit better as it won't go above spending 50% of your skull on expensive upgrade (it will then prioritize attack and hp upgrade which won't leave them at a very low level).

Update V0.24-1:
New: Setting 'close on clicking outside feature' which can disable this functionality that was introduced in the last patch (and by default (close on clicking outside feature' can still click the Restart button but i can't add everything that is on the UI sadly it wasn't done properly and reworking this would mean that we rework absolutely every background & game element that we can interact with).
New: Setting 'Add Larva popup' to disable having the Larva popup appearing when you want to spend more than 50% of you input.
New: Hold the Top Whack button when you have the Auto to trigger it (removing the needs to go into the feature to do it).

New: Clicking outside Features that aren’t fullscreen now closes everything.
Change: Infinite Challenge (Classes Path), have been reworked to make your stats ^0.5 instead of Potatoes ^2 (it should help make it more balanced). The reward is also additive instead of compounding (it will fit better with some upgrade in the next big content update, and if this is too big of a change, but it shouldnt, i will rework it again).
Change: Whack Bonus popup is now in the center of the screen.
Change: Challenge now has a small info, so it is clear that it does a Reincarnation (and that you earn everything a reincarnation would).
