Fixes

• Fixed issue where party members weren’t being cleared when returning to town. This fixes a related issue if one of those party members is subsequently removed from the farm (sold, graduated, unhappy)
• Fixed missing icons in guidebook
• Fixed Female Centaur x Crab sex swapping palettes on the farm
• Fixed issue with transparent monsters on the farm
• Fixed closet UI not having a character limit for renaming the player
  • Existing saves truncated to current limit (10 characters) on conversion
• Fixed unintended input handling (enter/spacebar opening menus, joystick input being read)
• Fixed issue where monsters located barn could fail to find a sex spot, triggering related exceptions when interacted with
• Fixed issue where Jerikan (monster merchant in town) was not preventing player from hiring monsters when farm was full
  • These extra monsters (which cause exceptions on the farm) are removed during conversion
• Fixed issue where player’s could purchase/hire when they did not have enough Korona (going into infinite debt)
  • All debt is being erased (korona set to 0) during conversion to this version
• Fixed issue where monsters in merchant stocks (Jerikan) were not initializing correctly, which could cause exceptions when viewed to purchase
• Fixed bug with leaving input field blank on transaction and cooking menus
• Fixed bugs with inventory updating for new items gained by working monsters (time passed with manual refining)
• Fixed issue where exception triggered during new save data initialization would soft-lock the game during load (prevent loading screen or exception dialog from appearing)
• Fixed issue where player could sell breeding monsters to Montalvo, triggering an exception on load, or when returning to farm
  • Only idle monsters are now able to be sold (can’t be sleeping, working, pregnant, etc)
• Fixed issue where inventory window didn’t block clicking on menus behind it (could interact with party select window behind it)
• Fixed issue where usable inventory items (like bundles) would not be cleared when stack was used up
• Fixed female holstaur idle animations being the wrong directions
• Fixed the storm clouds on the farm and in Cloverton
• Fixed bug with resolving active ingredients for a selected recipe when recipe needed to start with a mix of qualities, to be able to cook (would show as 1/0)
• Fixed hatching tutorial event triggering when the player didn’t have enough room on the farm to hatch an egg, which was soft-locking the player on the farm
• Fixed bugs with Chimera passive traits

• Fixed issue where special patreon contest monsters were not initializing their base stats
