Patch 0.63 - New info skills + Easy option for battles

[EDIT: Please update to 0.631 so trees can be planted again and foregable items respawn - i apologize for the inconvenience !] Before the weekend we have another patch for you with some new things based on your feedback. We hope this update improves your gameplay experience further
Make sure to update the game to 0.63 version. (If Steam doesn't do the update automatic close and restart Steam. On Steam Deck sometimes the Deck doesn't start games after updates, in this case restart the Steam Deck.)

New Skills

With the new "Botanist" skill you can now display crop and tree information when hovering over them with the cursor in the workbench mode.

The new "Battle Analysis" skill allows displays the type and power level when targeting a blob in battle.

Note: All skill points will be reset when loading your save file. You need to unlock the skills in the menu/inventory in the skills category.

New Battle Difficulty Setting

Based on the feedback that the early game or specific bosses are too hard for some players we added a new setting.

You can change it anytime in-game which can especially help when you are stuck on blob world bosses or want to feel safer when fishing and exploring. The setting needs to be set BEFORE the battle (in battle the settings menu is not available).

Bug Fixes + Balancing

Shooting Star Event

There is now a small possibility that in addition to copper ores other ores drop depending on blob world progress. Beating 1st world boss ->unlocks iron ore, 2nd world->unlocks gold ore.
Improved items falling in not reachable areas a lot (it can still happen very seldom - but should be now an exception). This makes also makes collecitng items easier and more convenient.
Fixed that item drop rate was scaled based on real-time and not game-time which resulted longer/shorter day duration settings to not have the intended spawn rate and dropping way more items. Intended is t get 5-11 star shards in one event (1-2 wishing stars) when really searching/trying to collect the items

Various

fixed fruits falling sometimes trough ground when shaking trees
fixed bug that one blob of the arrogant girls trio wasn't shown as unlocked in the resident overview when photographing it
fixed bug that when eating in Restaurant with 2 instead of 3 blobs in your team one blob was placed on the gound with no food.
balanced health increase for feeding blob cravings: - simple/not-cooked food: +2 (before +1) - cooked food(2 ingredients): + 3( same as before) - cooked food(3 ingredients): + 4 (before + 5)

You can grow crops and fruit trees and take care of your blob animals! Work hard to create your own dream farm! You need good products to produce quality feed for your blobs.

Blobs hatch from eggs and it's up to you to train them!

Unlike other games, you don't receive experience points after battle. To make your blobs stronger, you must feed them well, pet them and use specific skills in battles.
Your blobs can also help you with your farm work.

You can make friends and build relationships with different characters. Talking, battling and gifting increases your friendship and unlocks new events, places and more. There are wonderful stories you can experience!

Fight against other trainers and wild blobs. Experience a strategic Active Time Battle system with a little twist! Attacks throw you back to the ATB bar and can even cancel your current action. Think carefully when it's time to defend and when to attack. Also plan to use the right skill type to gain elementary advantages.

You can explore dangerous mazes where you can find eggs and rare treasures. These dungeons change every time you enter them! In the end a strong blob boss guards the rare eggs. A tough battle awaits you!

Grow stronger and unique blobs! You can crossbreed all blobs!
Create your dream team and become the strongest trainer.

Enjoy many wholesome activities like fishing, bug catching, cooking and more!
