There should probably be a limit to how many basket upgrades you can have, I have 2000 space in it now and the numbers go off screen already, and I could keep buying.
More rooms to buy upgrades for, and let us repair the broken originals so they're prettiful.
reorganize the potions people request a bit, by the time I had like just over $200, all of the people required potions that needed red plants, which you can't buy til you have at least 900, which made it a massive pain in the bum to get to 900 since I had to keep making and selling weed killer to get there.
Let us access the people we're selling potions to everywhere in the house so we can finish those orders faster, after all you can brew anywhere in the house.
There also should be a way we can read letters we've received in the past, there should also be a 'READ' next to it that puts it in print instead of fancy cursive. For people with reading and/or eye problems, reading cursive isn't particularly easy if possible. So having a READ option that popped up a print version gives everyone a better chance at reading it.

Suggestions:
Add in house storage that can be upgraded. After all do you care all your cooking spices with you all over the place? No, you put them somewhere in the kitchen, brewing potions is simply cooking there isn't a reason to bring it all with you everywhere. There should be a limit to the in house storage too but it should have storage spots for each individual item, each flower, each fruit, each potions, glass for the potions, etc. After all you keep your cooking stuff there and there's only so much room but it's not like you grab salt and dump it into 5 different containers you don't need that much. hence each area should hold X of a specific item. As for holding potions in house instead of the basket, you're selling them out of your house as mail order stuff, you don't carry that on you that's silly, unless you're planning to sell to the old lady.
Create a way we can upgrade our mana so we don't have to chug potions. I often keep 3 plants alive cause more than that requires a bunch of potions, and even then it cuts it close.



Otherwise I'm looking forward to the next set of updates for this.

Hi there.

wow for the inventory space! that's really impressive.

- additional room upgrades will be added in the next chapters
- we are going to add an option to send a customer away so you could get a new order instead of the one you can't fulfill
- the mana upgrades are also planned in the next chapters

thanks for the mail suggestion, we'll consider how to do it best.

Hi,
I am stuck. Using the garden and brewing potions, but I can't get past the hard skin potion. I am clueless at the moment on how to move on. Days go by.... Is there a crystal ball so I can get hints on how or what to progress? I made the house prettier, I can't upgrade the cauldron, just growing plants and brewing the same few potions or sell them to people is a bit dull, and 10.000 is big number to reach. When I look at Youtubers they magically get new potions., what do I seem to miss? Regards! Eliza

Hi Eliza.

Do you think you could explain in a bit more detail where you got stuck? Have you checked the quest log, maybe there is a quest there you missed? Generally new potions appear as you get more experience in brewing or can be bought from the store/earned from other sources, but all of this is story-dependant.

I agree with Eliza, there's not a lot of direction here. It can be a hard game to pick back up if you took a long break, as it's not always obvious the ? mark bubble beside the shop keeper is something you're supposed to click on for story progression. I don't like how these flowers are not labelled in the books, so when I can't obtain any, I also can't look up where I am missing them from. I finally figured out the bees in the next garden, kind of, since I have to keep using a potion to access the area. But now I am still stuck because all my customers want potions from plants I can't obtain yet and now one of my plants has died in the first garden and I can't figure out how to dig it up or use a potion to restore it so now I just can't get any flowers from the plant it used to be, which incidentally was the only one I had of that type. Perhaps it was explained in the beginning of the game how to do that, but I put this game down for months because work/school.

Thanks for the comment - we will look at labeling the flowers somehow as it can indeed be confusing, maybe adding some more information to the plant purchase to show what flowers they give.

To sort a dead plant simply click on the ground below it and it will let you dig the plant up or use a potion if you have one with you - we'll look into adding some shovel icon to make it more obvious.

Regarding the question mark, sorry but not sure how we can make it more obvious other than putting a huge red arrow with CLICK HERE.

For the hints on the bees I suggest you check your quest log.

The game is pretty nice so far, but the money making is currently pretty slow. Are there any informations when a new update will be online?

Also I want to ask, if you planing to add translations for the game in the future? I'm a german native speaker and would volunteer to help with a german translation ^^

Hi there. The new update is planned for early next year - we've been working to get the DLC for Mosaic Chronicles ready.

Regarding translations, we've not really considered german to be honest, but we can definitely discuss it

I've got an hour in the game and am already frustrated with the pacing. With the pricing being what it is, customers asking for potions you don't have plants for by the 3rd day is ridiculous. I've had to reject 3 customers in a day because they all asked for stuff that is way over what I could possibly manage. Without customers, I can't get enough money to buy the spaces and the plants. Why on earth do you charge for the land your grandma gave you? Insult to injury? I've played farm / alchemy games for about 2 decades now. I don't mind slower paced, but you are setting the player up for failure by not limiting the potions customers can ask for to the ones the player is actually able to make. In game, I'm 3 weeks in, barely could afford the 2nd plant and pay for my land use due to 2 out of 3 customers asking for unmanageable items. I'll probably keep the game and hope you sort this out, but I'd be aware that many folks aren't as patient as me. Good luck and I hope that helps.

I got an "angry" customer who wants a hair fixing potion but it calls for ingredients I don't have access to. I can't get rid of him because I already chose not to pay him 7777 coins, so he is just taking up a space in my daily clientele and I am trying to earn enough money to get the next set of potions. This isn't the first time that I've been kind of stuck because I wasn't getting fairy requests so I didn't have access to any honey (or the fairies were asking for candies) and I couldn't fill any requests. I also don't really understand what buying the sugar is for because I have not ever used it.
