The Creator Toolkit, a collection of tools intended for mod creators, is available now!

The Creator Toolkit will serve as a platform for official tools that aid in mod creation. For this initial release, we've focused on one major feature that we think will provide a ton of value to mod creators: installing and loading local mods.

Opting to use local mods for your mod development will significantly cut down on iteration time and help avoid common pitfalls with uploading and testing mods on mod.io.

Using a new file for your local mod can be done in two clicks, and avoids unnecessary network traffic as well as keeping your mod.io releases clean and meaningful.

Local mods can also be linked to mod.io mod profiles, enabling fast and convenient conversion of a local mod file to a live mod release. Mod developers who have deleted old releases on mod.io may have also ran into a caching problem with filenames. Using the Creator Toolkit to release a local mod file avoids that pitfall by automatically giving each uploaded release a unique filename.

We're excited about what's possible with this new platform and hope to continue delivering useful tools to the hands of mod creators.

You can find the Creator Toolkit available within the Mod Manager on Steam or in the browser (not available on Mobile for obvious reasons).

If you've previously created a mod on mod.io you'll see a tab at the top of the Mod Manager. Otherwise, search for "Creator Toolkit" in the Browse tab and subscribe to it from there. (A game restart is required after installing the Creator Toolkit)

All credit goes to Buttchouda who developed this Creator Toolkit. They are also responsible for developing the Mod Manager as well as integrating official Mod Support into Melvor Idle.

TL;DR Breakdown:

• Available in-game via the Mod Manager on both Steam and Browser (Not mobile)
• This will serve as a platform for various tools that aid in mod creation.
• Initial features include quick links to the collection of Mod Creation guides and the ability to load local mods.
• Local mods are mods imported directly from you computer (no uploading to mod.io necessary).
• Local mods can be linked to a mod.io mod profile to enable creating a new mod release based on the current local mod file.

Fixes

• Added a descriptive hint to the Township Task that requires Tier I Potions, directing the player to use the Herblore potion if they cannot create Tier I's naturally (Not really a fix though lol).

Modding

The Action interface (used by skills that implement a passiveTick or activeTick method, or just registering your own custom action), may now provide 3 optional methods that are called when changing pages:

• onPageChange Called when changing to the actions page, but before the page is visible
• onPageVisible Called when changing to the actions page, just after the page is visible
• onPageLeave Called when changing from the actions page to another one, just after the page is no longer visible

The page for your action must have the action property set.

Also:

• Fixed an issue with patching getter/setter properties on inheriting classes multiple times.
• Improved class getter/setter property patching API.
• Cleaned up the gigantic switch statement in changePage in accordance with the new methods listed above.
• Fixed some missing image links for Mod Manager.

Based on initial community feedback, we have pushed the following balance changes:

• Trading Posts now provide +500K Trading Limit per building, up from +250K.
• Town Halls now provide +0.5% Tax Rate, up from 0.25%.
  • The Happiness debuff for Town Halls has also moved to -0.5% (This will always equal the negative value of the GP Tax modifier).

We have updated the original changelogs to reflect this change as well.

Please restart your game for these changes to take effect.

A hotfix has been released to address the following bugs:

• Shop items that require Task completions cannot be purchased.
• Destroying a Trading Post now correctly updates the Trader limit per visit.
• Fixed issue where trading Rune Essence with 0 Trader GP would produce NaN values.
• Fixed issue that caused screens to shake due to the new changelog.

We have also updated the size of the Changelog for Desktop viewers (It is now larger).

Please restart the game for changes to take effect.

Hello everyone!

Thank you for your patience with us while we waited for translations to be completed for this update. This is the first of what I assume to be many updates to Township.

This update focuses on UI & Balance. We want to get Township to a point where we are okay with the power it provides, as well as what it looks like before we begin exploring concerns around other mechanics.

If you had concerns around the general mechanics of Township, then this update won't resolve that unfortunately. We are already hard at work on Township Update #2 which focuses on the general mechanics. It might take a bit of time until release as we will be doing a lot of play testing to see how it all feels.

Now, let's get into the patch notes.

Township UI Overhaul

We have updated the Township UI as a start of our process to provide you with more clarity and information when navigating the Skill.

New UI Features:

• Biome selection for Town & Build menus are now vertically aligned on the left, and are populated with Biome icons.
• Town menu has 3 Tabs - Biomes, Town Information & Show All. These menus provide extra information regarding your Town.
• Build menu now has a Town resource selector to easily locate specific buildings you may be looking for. Selecting a resource will highlight what Biomes it can be located in, as well as the buildings themselves for easy navigation.
• Hovering over a building in the Build menu will display an icon next to Biomes where that building can also be constructed.
• Hovering over a Building in the Town menu will highlight Biomes where it is constructed, as well as display how many are contained inside.
• Town information panel displays basic information about your Town.
• Dead Storage now has its own UI element a the top will all other resources and information.
• The tooltip within Population now displays how much Skill XP you gain per tick.

New Township Features

Resource Capping

• You can now cap resources to a specified percent value of your maximum storage. This can be done in the Manage Storage menu (Used to be called Yeet Resources).
• When a resource reaches its cap, it will adjust the colour of the resource amount.
• Setting a cap on a resource that is already above the existing cap will automatically Yeet the excess on the next Tick.

Change Worship

It is now possible to change your Worship without restarting your Town.

Changing your Worship will cause major distress and riots within your Town. Due to this:

• All of your existing Worship buildings will be destroyed.
• 50% of your population will die.

Trader Changes

The Trader in its current state was beyond broken. The amount of GP that could be earned by Trading various resources was excessive, and it devalued GP entirely.

These changes are designed to allow the Trader to continue providing extra resources for the main game, while also being limited in how much they can actually provide.

Trader GP Value Limit

The Trader is no longer the richest person in the game, carrying billions of GP worth of items as they stop at your Town.

• There is now a maximum GP Value Limit that can be traded during any visit. This limit is defined by the amount of Trading Posts you have constructed in your Town.
• Each Trading Post will increase this limit by 500K per building, up to a maximum of 100M per visit.
• Every time the Trader arrives in your Town, it will increase the GP Limit. There is no maximum threshold for the limit.
• The GP Limit only affects trading resources from Township to your Bank. It does not affect trading items into your Town for resources.

New Item Trading Requirement

If you wish to Trade a resource out of Township, there is now an added requirement of locating 10,000 of the item first before you can trade for it.

The Trader is not meant to be a bypass for the main game by locating one of any item and then Trading it thereafter.

The UI of the Trader will display items that can and cannot be traded, as well as the remaining quantity required to begin trading it.

Tax Rate Changes

The existing implementation of Tax Rate provided GP to the Player without really needing to "earn" it (Other than increasing population).

These changes will bring Tax Rate in line with how they would actually be implemented into a Town, but also provides you with control over what the Tax Rate should be:

• The Base Tax rate when starting a Town is now 0%
• The Town Hall has been reworked:
  • Each Town Hall now provides +0.5% Tax Rate and -0.5% Happiness.
  • No longer provides Building Cost reduction.
• Tax Rate is capped at 80%.

Adjusted Building Worker Counts

We have adjusted the amount of workers provided for upgraded buildings to help minimise the amount of available workers in the late stages of the Skill.

• The 3rd and 4th upgrades of any building now has increased worker counts.
• These buildings now have the same resource per worker generation amount as the 2nd upgrade.

The new Worker counts will allow you to assign Citizens to these buildings to return to the original resource generation values. When all Worker slots are filled, it works out to be a tiny buff in resource generation (Roughly 3-5%).

This will not affect early game Township as the resource generation and worker counts have remained the same.

Other Township Changes

• Added x25 Build option.
• Default Trader option is now "Take resources from Township".
• Dead Storage now decays 1% every 1 hour of Ticks (Used to be 20% every 24 hours).
• Citizens who die at the age of 100 will decay instantly.
• Citizens who are over the age of 70 provide 2x more GP than under 70's.
• Worship now has a 5% Checkpoint. We have moved some of the positive modifiers that are unlocked at the very beginning to this checkpoint.
• Ragnar Worship - Removed +25% Tax Rate bonus from the "Always Active". The one at the 100% checkpoint still exists.
• The Trader now trades raw Dragonhide instead of the final product for Clothing.
• Increased the Town Hall build costs by 4x
• Increased the Trading Post build cost to 7,500 Stone, 5,000 Bars, 5,000 Planks.
• Buffed Libraries to provide +1% Education per building, up from 0.25%.
• Capped "Decreased Township Food Usage" modifier to -80%.
• Town & Build Biome selections are no longer independent. Selecting a Biome in one menu will update the other one as well.

New Additions

We have a new method of communicating Announcements to players in game. The changelog in game has a new look, and allows me to provide easy updates to everyone across all platforms.

There is also a development roadmap you can view at the top. Stay in the loop with what we're currently working on!

Hey everyone!

This is a Minor Update to the game which details recent hotfixes, minor changes as well as another Stardust Refund.

Township Updates

We’re working hard behind the scenes on some big Township changes. I hope to have more information for you soon. It’s very close to being ready for release.

Another Stardust Refund

When loading into this update, those who started their characters prior to Midnight 18 October 2022 (GMT) will receive another airdrop of Stardust.

• We have decided to base this refund on your total Mastery Level. Here’s what you will receive:
  Stardust equal to 50 * Total Mastery level (Base game constellations only)
• Golden Stardust equal to 30 * Total Mastery level (Base game constellations only)

Although there’s a high chance a lot of you have continued the Astrology grind since release resulting in higher Mastery levels, we wanted to make things right with the extra refund.

Minor Changes

• Township - Citizens will now continue to move into Town, regardless of how much Food you have. Prior to this, citizens used to not move into Town if you had 0 Food.
• Township - Buffed Bane Worship 100% modifier to -50% Food Usage (Up from -25%)
• Buffed Hunter’s Journal to +0.01% chance to receive Thieving Area Unique Item (Up from 0.0025%)
• Buffed Astro Pet bonus to 1% (Up from 0.1%)
• Throne of the Herald: Replaced the -5% Agility Interval from T12 Forest Jog with -5% Agility Build Costs

Fixes

Note: This list details hotfixes applied to the game prior to this update. These fixes were already active.

• Updated and fixed many translations.
• Prevented save files that contain Full Version or Throne of the Herald content from being loaded if the respective expansions are not installed. This should prevent accidental save data loss when loading these saves without the expansions installed. If you still wish to load these saves at risk of data loss, you may select the Force Load option in the save settings.
• Fixed Cloud tokens expiring every 24 hours. They should now automatically refresh.
• Fixed some Township buildings not showing negative Happiness values.
• Fixed Change password form.
