An update to forum search has been added by Lynx in the latest game update. His update covers the following:

Forum search now supports searching for one or more words, matching any or all words. Additionally the time limit between searches has been removed. Results will be ordered by number of words matched. This update has also capped withdrawals from market storage to 30 at a time.

In other news, check out my "April Fools Prank?" thread in Main Forum! That's about all I have to say in this post, just covering Lynx's update here as he's a bit busy today.

Have a good day!

Recipes will soon be coming into the game with the incoming hunting updates. There will be some annoying recipes as well as some cool recipes (in my opinion). This update will also see the existing recipe that all Shadow Facility contributors have had access to (a free conversion for av blood to a boosted serum) be modified - the recipe will soon require a minimum crafting level of 7 and will not offer any crafting XP.

So what recipe(s) can people use to start leveling their crafting?

You'll see soon. There will be ..versions of the above recipe that lower levels can use, along with some other recipes!

Houston.. We have a problem.. It appears to be a giant well of text!

For the sake of transparency and Aldo's announcement yesterday about him quitting, I thought I propose my (rather small) roadmap for now.

First things first, as Aldo mentioned I have an update regarding storage incoming.
This update will allow you to withdraw a given quantity of a certain item through the use of a dropdown.
However this feature will be limited torwards how much inventory space you have left, and how many you have stored.

Secondly I'm most likely going to add another filter for market search, the idea is you should be able to search after items with a certain or more number of trades left.

After that I have a few more forum improvements in mind including:
- Better forum search, less time limit, perhaps remove it? while being able to search for more than one word.
- Checkbox to subscribe to a thread when posting.. Depends if the community want this. please let me know
- A quicker way to subscribe to threads from forum overview... Again depends if the community is not completely against this..
- And some other background additions to how staff/moderators are handling edits & deletions of posts (Staff and mods feel free to pm me about those, and i'll explain).

Now that I have this out of the way... Just to make the development matters even worse..

I'm having a trip to Paris, starting next month. and an upcoming move this year..
In addition to that, a friend is getting married soon, and somehow I have been spun into help planning that...
Meaning I won't be taking on any bigger updates, besides the above, in the next quarter of months perhaps.

Last but not least, if you have any inquiries with the roadmap, suggestions or comments to this, feel free to let me know in a PM or in comments below

Here are some minor details on what's coming up. I have midterms this week and next week again (with another 1 week of break after them before I have finals RIP) so I thought I'd share some stuff.

- Lynx is working on some lovely stuff for the market, should be coming sometime this week if all goes well!

- There will be a hunting update or two as I teased last week. Not sure if they will make it in this week but basically these updates will involve a few new minor quests/conversations and probably a mini quest journal to help track your progress through these different questlines. But yeah just wanted to give a head's up on this.

- Through the hunting update, we will also release blueprints into the wild as drops. There are 4 types of blueprints that are dedicated to the forge, based on their rarity (their names are very uncreative so feel free to guess ). They'll drop through hunting, quest rewards, and jobs. So soon others who haven't been able to craft at all will be able to join in as well There'll be a couple of recipes in particular that I think some of you might find useful.

- The avatar job that I've teased for forever will probably be one of my last updates, if not the last, before I quit soon. This is because it involves some other not-announced systems/things to come into place first as per my overall plan. I've teased the name of this job multiple times so I don't see any need to hide that atleast - it will be called Artifact Retrieval and it will be an avatar job but it will not reward you more than Research Lab (money-wise).

- There's a certain kind of shop I've been lately thinking about adding into the game as I kinda miss the old shops we used to have on our way to avatar. If I do go through with it once I've decided on how I want it to work, it will MAYBE require a golden nugget to access. If it will, then it will be a one-time fee (only 1 golden nugget ever will be required), just a head's up. I'll post more about this soon once I've finalized the details.

I'm looking at my list now and there are some other interesting things here that I probably won't tease until they're a day away from release so yeah.

Have a good day and week
