- Research and Special Maps - 21 September 2022
Research Overhaul There were a few issues we had with how Research played in Ficterra, so we wanted to change things up. Each research unlocked too many things. This made it hard to keep track of what was unlocked or feel overwhelmed with too many item to craft at once, with no direction. To address this we have added 25 new Researches and spread crafting plan unlock out amount them. This drastically lowers the amount you unlock with each research and gives a focus of what to do with each Research unlocked. The cost of these new Researches is also relatively lower to make them more effortless to unlock Research and Crafting Plans were too similar. Even though underneath these are very similar, the experience and feel they give should be different. We added a new research screen which can show off all the Researches in the game, and show which are available. It has a UI designed to fit b…
