ReCycler v0.95.1 - Tutorial & ResearchQueue.


v0.95.1 Patch notes

* New prestige upgrade - Research Queue! This works by clicking the skill you want, and in its "overview card" (the big card thingy in the middleish of the screen), you can click on "add to queue". Skills added to the research Queue will show up in the new Research Queue tab (above the Self Improvement tab).

    * Added a button to skill overview card to add it to the Research Queue.

    * Added a new "card" specific for the research queue tab. Replacing the "tier", "XP-to-level", "XP rate" and "max-level bonus" displays with two buttons:

        * Adjust Target Level - Adjusts the skills target level... (in the queue). An input field will pop up that supports a number from 0-9999.

        * Remove From Queue - Removes the skill from the Research Queue.

* New prestige upgrade - Food cost reduction - (-5%) food cost per level. It gets hella expensive fast though.

* Reduced food cost by ~10%.

* Investment - 0.35 -> 0.15 max interest.

* Investment Strategy - 0.55 -> 0.20 max interest. It's still possible to live off of interest, it just requires dedication now.

* Added tutorial! This is the handholdy kind, but also not. But it's short. And needed.... desperately. And it's totally skippable. Please note that if you close the game before saving after completing/skipping a tutorial it will try to make you do it again.

* Added static tutorial questionmarks! - These will provide a wall of text when hovered and will explain some of the features. More to come...

* Tooltips have (hopefully) been improved.

* Added unlock requirements tooltips - this will show you what skills a unlock condition requires to unlock.

* Added clickable unlock requirements! - If you click on a unlock requirement, you will start researching that skill!

* Added donation button ingame... and enabled donations through itch.io. #greedy

Once there is a skill in the Research queue, a new "tab" will open in the Research page at the very top called.... wait for it..... "Research Queue"!

You can add a skill to the queue by selecting it as usual, and in the Overview card (the big card thingy in the middleish of the screen), you can now "Add to Queue".

Once the queue is finished, it will repeat by leveling each skill once.

The Research Queue is kept on ReCycle, but skills that have requirements can't be progressed past before those requirements are filled. 

(ex. "Efficiency" requiring "Research" level 10 will block the queue if "Research" is below the required level.)

glad you're still working on this! it's a great game and I check in every so often to see if you've made any changes and you did. Great game, loving what it is but also what it might become.
