Salvete mercatores,

Mercator 0.3.0 is released. See the changelog below:

• Farming plot NPCs in Muchiri now do not spawn once you have bought the plot from them.
• The tutorial has been adjusted slightly
  • It is now mandatory to hire the blacksmith and assign her to the shop on the first day.
  • Dragging/dropping furniture is more clearly explained in dialogue.
  • Veeran and the blacksmith now have additional speech bubbles to indicate they are to be interacted with.
  • You now spawn directly in the Sharanya with Veeran to reduce ambiguity on what to do next.
• There are now signs on all the buildings in Muchiri indicating shop names/those who reside in them.
• There are now tooltips indicating you can interact with furniture/people/drops on the ground.
• Fixed a bug where you were able to complete scripted trades without actually buying the item.
• Most items now stack in the item bar, even if they are not weighted items.
  • Non-weighted items now are stacked as a "discrete count".
  • Unfortunately this breaks old saves.
• The weight/count of an item box is now displayed directly on the box (in addition to the tooltip).
• Trading tables have been adjusted slightly.
• Added item reverse-engineering.
  • If you have 3 of a certain item (or 3lb) and it is researchable by a worker, you can consume those items to begin researching it, even if you are missing prerequisites.
• Fishing tables have been adjusted slightly.
• Several interfaces have had their background graphics updated.
• The chest sprite has been updated
• Weapon racks are no longer treated as desks and are now hung on the wall.
• Catching fish is now easier when it rains.
• Buttons in most in-game interfaces now allow you to cancel clicking by letting go of the mouse outside the button area.
• Item scrollbars now only scroll if you hover over them.
• Some codex entries have been modified.
