Changes and additions:
- Added an "Interaction sensitivity" slider to the game settings, allowing to adjust how much input is required during interactions with various objects or controllers (e.g., stirring or turning valves).
- Slightly improved the readability of the total amount of additives on the blackboard displaying the current order.
- The Furnace's technical condition now deteriorates more slowly, reducing the frequency of required repairs.
- Resized slightly the board that's displaying the currently active order to improve its readability.
- It's no longer possible to remove or place a new chocolate bar on the topping area while the Tempering Machine is active.

Bug fixes:
- Added an extra safeguard to help players in situations where they get "stuck" during the mission to install the robot's hand. This issue is typically caused by having an active order, which must be completed before answering the phone and accepting the mission-related order.
- After fixing the save-related bug, some players affected by this issue might have lost their wrench. To compensate, we have significantly reduced the price of the wrench in the shop for a limited time to ensure everyone can afford to buy a replacement.
- Fixed a bug that allowed items to be placed too quickly, which occasionally caused them to fall through the floor.
- Fixed the functionality of the recipe note. It now displays correctly and no longer switches to a recipe other than the one pinned.
- Improved Nougat's pathfinding in several areas.

Known issues:
- Nougat occasionally fails to transfer the entire specified amount to the Melanger or trash.
- Improvements and changes to translations are ongoing (German translation currently requires the most attention).

The Tempering Machine will no longer be unlocked at the start of the game. This also fixes the issue of not being able to unlock it if not yet unlocked.

Since the release of our game, your feedback has been our greatest inspiration and guide for the future development of Chocolate Factory Simulator. ❤️ We deeply appreciate every suggestion, report, and comment you’ve shared with us. We know many of you have pointed out issues with the tutorial and certain game mechanics. Rest assured, we’re hard at work improving the clarity of the steps in the game and enhancing its core systems. In future updates, you’ll witness changes inspired directly by your input – thank you for being part of this journey! 🍀

Thanks to your dedication, Chocolate Factory Simulator is getting sweeter and better with every update. 🏭🍫

See you soon,

Changes and additions:
- Added missing interactions blockers for levers, valves and other controllers for when the Melanger, Press and Tempering Machine are working.
- Dispensers can only be refilled using refills available for purchase in the shop — refilling dispensers by interacting with them with an empty hand has been disabled.
- The Melanger can now increase the quality level of all recipes (chocolates, toppings and fillings) by +2, depending on the set power level.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug that caused some ingredients and products to change their quality level after loading a save.
- Fixed the display of temperature ranges in recipes – the temperature range no longer splits into two lines.
- Recipes for ingredients in the melanger bowl should now be correctly searched for after loading a saved game.
- Fixed a bug causing the Vending Machine to generate funds for unsold chocolates every time the game was loaded.
- Fixed a bug causing chocolates in the Vending Machine to load in the wrong positions on the shelves.

Known issues (to be fixed in future updates):
- The syringe still gives inaccurate measurements for transferred amounts.
- The chocolate filling upgrade in the press doesn’t automatically clean itself after being replaced with another version.
- The chocolate filling upgrade in the press sometimes fills chocolate with less filling than it should.
- Nougat occasionally doesn’t transfer the entire amount specified by the player to the Melanger or trash.
- Improvements and changes to translations (in different languages, but German translation needs the most attention).

• [All] Robot Nougat throwing items into the trash at the player's command will no longer trigger the confirmation window
  
• [All] The cooling rate in bowls and pots has been increased by about 40%, which means the cooling of of ingredients and mixtures is now faster
  
• [All] Slightly reduced the amount of motion blur, so the image should no longer blur as much during movement
  
• [All] Fixed an issue that prevented the production of "Refined" quality chocolate using the Melanger
  
• [Full] The recipe for caramel no longer suggests it can be made using the Melanger – this is not possible because caramel requires temperatures that the Melanger cannot achieve, so it must be prepared in a pot.
  
• [Full] Adjusted the incorrect sizes of colliders and holograms for smaller ingredient packages (for example salt and lemon zest).
  
• [Full] The Tempering Machine now correctly improves the quality of all chocolates when tempered at power levels above "Optimal."
  
• [Full] The Encyclopedia page about replacing molds in the Press now displays correctly.

• [All] The "How to make it?" section (detailing machine/container requirements, temperatures, etc.) for recipes was not very visible on the recipe page. We've made it more prominent to ensure it stands out.
  
• [All] Mission-related orders were not adequately marked, leading to situations where players activated the wrong order (e.g., an order from the Chocolate Critics instead of Mr. Hawk, which appears after installing the robot's hand). We’ve added an appropriate indicator: mission orders now have a blue exclamation mark on a blue background, making them impossible to miss.
  
• [Full] Changed the way chocolate quality is updated during tempering. From now on, the quality change can occur only once: either during the first tempering or when the chocolate is tempered again, but only if its current quality is no higher than "Basic." It is no longer possible to repeatedly increase the quality of chocolate in the tempering machine to easily achieve the maximum possible quality.

Happy crafting,

- Improvements to trash bins: Many of you have reported accidentally throwing pots, bowls, or spatulas into the trash. While we don't want to completely disable this option for now, we've added an extra safeguard: a confirmation window asking if you're sure you want to throw away the item currently in your hands. Additionally, we've reduced the size of the trash bin near the workbench in the Production Hall so it's harder to miss-click.
- Added cleared tooltip for phone issue reported after installing nad modules for Nougat: We've received several reports about a possible bug with the phone, where players couldn't interact with it after installing the hand module for Nougat. This is turned out not a bug, but an issue with communication. The player cannot interact with the phone to accept a new order (added as a new quest task after installing the hand) because there is already have an active order. The current order must be completed before accepting a new one. We've added a clearer, more descriptive tooltip for this scenario.
- Fixed a bug that made it impossible to produce vegan and ruby chocolate at a quality level higher than "Basic". Now using power levels above Optimal in the Melanger should properly reward players with chocolates of higher quality than "Basic".
- Updated the description of the edible flower box, which incorrectly suggested that the package contained 10 decorations when, in fact, it contains only 5.
- Added missing Chinese characters.
