how does new sloth work?

The updated sloth doesn't seem to start anymore? every time i click play it flicks off immediately.

Open up the sloth menu with 'O' and can add to queue by hovering over what you want and pushing 'Q', then start them up in the sloth menu.

wait do the shortcut slots not do anything anymore?

Kinda like that. They just help you to activate some activities without the need of searching them on a particular page. Can be useful sometimes, but don't spend rubies on extra shortcuts.

This is definitely a weird change. It's a bit clunky and requires more setup, but the overall usability I think is better. This is how I'm using it after 5-10 minutes (not continuing for now, the FPS issue with progress bars really messes with my brain and it's hard to focus). I'm not sure if this is correct or not, but I can't keep going to test further.

Pressing "Q" will add an action to either a Dungeon queue or a Loop Action queue or an "Other" queue. Using the Sloth quick menu or the regular Routine->Sloth screen will allow you to re-order and change quantity.

The reason I think the usability is better is because you have 6 slots for each, and they don't interfere with each other. You can do 6 dungeons in an order AND perform 6 loop actions in an order AND perform 6 instant actions in an order. Technically the last one (Other) allows you to use any action, allowing you to do a loop action then an instant when it's finished, kind of like the old system but with 6 slots (again, if I'm understanding correctly) just with a couple more steps initially.

Also (again, if I'm understanding correctly), these queues are what determine your offline bonus incomes.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, and I hope they fix the progress bars soon so I can jump back in without feeling like I'm going to throw up (seriously, I don't know why it's doing that to me but I feel physically sick with it).

Its total, not for each.

They divided the slot queues in 3 different sections. Dungeons, loop actions and instant actions (or other queues) are seperated now.
Two new upgrades were added for 2 more slots (for me 11 in total without spending rubys but finishing all possible inspiration and sin upgrades)

Press O and hover over Sloth Overlay on the right upper corner and you see an explanation for the shortcuts (like O and Q)
