《Cultivation Stories》0.2.1补丁优化城镇导航与时间流速

A patch built from your reports on 0.2.0. Towns are no longer mazes, work is back on the board, time runs slower, and a long list of bugs is gone. Still a free demo, capped at Qi Condensation, layer 1.

Towns you can read

Every settlement now fits in one map tile: no more area changes inside a village.
Towns follow a fixed plan: the square in the middle, with the smithy, apothecary, market, cultivators' stall and both boards around it, and straight streets out to the exits.
Sects are a single scene again.
No more bandits or beast lairs inside towns, and roadside inns are safe from bears.

Work is back on the board

The job board lists the day jobs of the place. Work a day (or three) straight from the board, as before, or mark where the job is done.
Miners are only hired where there is a mine, and the mine shows up on the map once you enter the town.

Finding your way

Signs over service buildings, and icons and names for the smithy, apothecary, woodshed and mine on the minimap and the place map.
Click anything on the place map (L) to follow it; a beacon shows the way.
Mark on the map now tells you where and how far, and marks on people no longer vanish when they walk off screen.
Hold Alt to highlight what you can interact with. With several things in reach, E opens a list so you choose (no more joining a tournament by accident).
Signs and the objective beacon can be turned off in Esc → Options → Game → Navigation.

Time and balance

The clock runs at half speed: a day is about 24 real minutes at Normal. Walking around a town no longer costs extra hours.
The family pot keeps you fed, but it no longer feeds cultivation: bring your own food to cultivate.
Body cultivation: Skin in about 90 days, and the mat now shows the days left instead of a raw number.
Herbs, cores and stones can be refined anywhere, without a mat. Each one gives up to 15% of the bar.
Wounds now match the damage you took: a scratch fight no longer leaves broken limbs.

Crafting

Keyboard shortcuts (Space, E) always work, even after clicking around the recipe list.
A summary of phases and ingredients shows before the fire starts; press E to begin.
Batch crafting for low-grade recipes: make 2–10 at once, faster, at lower quality.

Fixes

Beasts and corpses are visible again, and fleeing gives you a breather instead of restarting the fight.
Lairs show their den with bones, in the right place.
Roadside stalls have goods to buy.
People always have their names, and the chronicle and rumors no longer show raw ids or Spanish text in English.
No more plants growing on rock walls. Caves look like rock, with unreachable parts in darkness.

Saves

Your 0.2.0 saves load. If you were standing in a part of a town or sect that no longer exists, you appear inside it.

Thanks for every report, screenshot and idea: most of this patch comes straight from them. Keep them coming in the comments, the Community tab or the Discord.
