Updates

This is a list of updates to *PlateUp!*

## 0.21.0 - 2022-07-18

Features:

Tools have been re-worked: tools (items like the Sharp Knife and Tray) are now much easier to use. Tools are now picked up and dropped using the act button:

While holding the knife or the (new) scrubbing brush and rolling pin, you can now also hold an item as normal

Trays can now have items placed on them while they're on a counter. Use grab to take and place things on the tray, and act to pick up the whole tray

Dishes can now be "shareable" and serving the dish will satisfy multiple customers who are requesting it at once. Currently, the Cheese Board is marked as shareable and will serve up to three customers per serving

New profiles created in the main menu now automatically be sent to the tutorial (you can leave immediately using the menu if you want to skip it)

The end-day screen has been reworked to provide information on how much you earned that day. The bonus for being in singleplayer (or duo) has been removed from serving dishes and is now applied to all money earned during the day and shown in the breakdown

You can now use the ping/notify button to show the information about an appliance you've already bought

Balance:

Starting appliances have been changed. You now start with "starter" editions of each appliance in the restaurant:

The starting plate stack holds four plates

The starting sink washes at 75% speed

The starting bin only holds two things

The starting hob cooks at 75% speed (but you start with two)

Some appliances are now offered to you as staples until you own them: blueprint cabinet, research desk, plate stack

The shop now starts with 4 staples and one standard appliance each day, then one staple swaps to an standard appliance every three days (with a minimum of one staple)

The shop now randomly contains upgraded blueprints. The probability of a blueprint being upgraded increases each day

The way the shop calculates what is for sale has been re-worked to try and remove anything you don't have any use for. You will no longer be offered appliances that are designed to help processes you don't use (like hobs in salad runs). You will no longer be offered pot or wok stacks if you don't need them. There are also a couple of other filters.

The blueprint desk's item pool is now based on shop item availability so it will also no longer offer anything you don't want. Blueprint desk items are never upgraded

You are no longer offered a blueprint cabinet and research desk automatically

Seeded runs generation has been tweaked and should now reset properly each day/week

The following items have changed price: fire extinguisher (20), floor protector (20), counter (20), coffee table (40)

Cheese boards are now worth 3 (up from 2)

Customer amount changes are now in increments of 15% (so anything that was +/-10% is now +/-15%, etc). Franchise cards are still 30%

Group size cards are now more likely to come up than other cards

Item providers are now available in shops. You will only be offered providers for items you already have. You cannot get duplicate providers for burger patties or fish

The Portioner (which was called the splitter) can no longer be used to interact with random things

The Splitter is now called Portioner and now has a proper description

Grabbers now grab from appliances that can both hold and provide items correctly

Belts now insert into appliances that can both hold and provide items correctly

## 0.21.1 - 2022-07-18
