On January 18th at around 15:00 (UTC+1) the nonograms tables for MP and XP on the wiki will be reset (all checkboxes will become unchecked). I am making this change is because when I was first making the script for the tables I didn't consider removing nonograms. Some nonograms need to be moved to a new database, because either their MP or XP doesn't fit into the current database. I recommend noting the last 5 nonograms you have checked so when the tables reset, you know where you left off. I am so sorry for the inconvenience.

After this change we will be moving nonograms into correct databases.

Also, the search filter tables will get a bit messy when we start moving nonograms.

I would really appreciate being able to set a size range for the edges more granularly. For example, if I want both edges to be at least 15, but only one edge can be larger than 19 in order to ensure they fulfill an expeditions requirements without going over, filtering for that isn't currently possible. Maybe adding a filter for puzzles that fit the current step of an ongoing expedition directly would be possible?

It's not exactly a necessity, but I don't personally enjoy knowing some perfectly valid nonograms are excluded by the filter because the only options are one edge meets the requirements or both do.

I am planning to restructure ALL Lua modules, because there are some systemic issues, which require a lot of exceptions and getting information from sentences, which requires consistent sentences. Even a small inconsistency in a sentence can cause an issue. The system is not very robust.

Originally I planned to have as little data as possible in databases, because I wanted to reduce work for those who are adding data. I knew this meant more work for me, who coded the modules that represent that data - and I was fine with this.

Mostly what I intent to do is to add some variables. For example, instead of just "unlocks = 'Increases daily quests.'", I would add another variable "increases_daily_quests = '2,3'", which not only explicitly states that the building increases daily quests rewards, but also by how much.

Another example: instead of searching the whole item database and strings of items for which item increases expedition loot, the Miso soup would have a variable named "increase_expedition_loot". So the program wouldn't have to search all item descriptions, it would only have to look, if the item has this variable. There is a time limit on how much time a Lua program can run and this helps.

Also, the Pizza Diavola has been problematic, because it increases current Health and also maximum Health.

But what really pushed me to this decision, are the "buildings in buildings" (e.g. Data center in Laboratory).

I plan on doing a "version 2" of every module and then copy-pasting everything into "version 1". So nothing will change until I start copy-pasting and editing "version 1".

If you have any suggestion or concerns, please let me know.

@Ucdevs ,

For large puzzles it'll be good to have the ability to lock either the right or the left number panels (and similarly the top or bottom). When working near the right edge, the left panel is easier, because the numbers there are justified, so it can be shrunk with the yellow ribbon and still see enough of them. While when working on the left edge it's the reverse.

If you click on your avatar, there is a new button: "❤️ Visit my Fandom". This button will take you to a page where all "progress tracking tables" and "interactable maps" (we don't have those) are listed. This is similar to: List to all check lists. They plan to add other things there as well, but for now this is it.

Recently I've been made aware of a feature Fandom added: Table progress tracking. It's a feature that allows to turn a table into a checklist by adding a column with clickable boxes. These kind of tables can be used by everyone, but the check marks are only visible to the user that checked them. This feature is tied to your Fandom account and the checklist can also be used across multiple devices (if you are logged in your account).

Example 1: You want to complete all technologies. It's a bit inconvenient to go through every building and look which technology is still missing. You can go to Technologies page and check off all technologies that you have from the table/checklist. Then you will also see which technologies you don't have. After you complete another technology, you can just check it off in the wiki.

Example 2: Questline recommended order. It can be tricky to follow the recommended order, but with a checklist, this becomes a piece of cake.

Also, if someone asks for you progress, you can take a screenshot of the checklist and send it to them.

Checklists I have already made:

• Passive player recommended building order

• Active player recommended building order

• Technology checklist

• Citadel collections checklist

• Once upon a forest questline recommended order

• The ordinary days of an adventurer questline recommended order

• High XP nonograms list

Checklists I will be making (once I get a green light from DasMia):

• Easy 60 MP nonograms list

Checklists that don't make sense to make, because they are already in the game:

• Achievements

• Projects

• Character skills

• Mosaics

• Artifacts

• Craftifacts

If you have any ideas on any checklists you want to see (even if it's just for personal use), let me know.

Also, perhaps I should add links to technologies and citadel checklists. Example: I want to research Conveyor lvl. 1 in Alchemist's Hut. Click the link in the checklist and the page scrolls to the Conveyor lvl. 1 technology to see what items are needed.

I have just added a piece of code that counts how many items are needed to "complete" the guild onto every item page. Note that this only counts single use items; like upgrading building, researching technologies, etc. What it doesn't include is crafting, buying items in Caravan, etc.

You better not look at how many Coins are needed. LOL

We are switching from images of items from warehouse (with brown background) to images without background (transparent background). Thanks to @Maxxkazimieszko for removing the background and @Ladynovalee for uploading the new images, we have updated all item images.

We have decided to remove the brown background, because the pages will look a lot better. This also means that the item doesn't have to be owned to get the "proper" image of it. The images can still be uploaded with background, but someone will remove the background eventually.

Currently, the images are still encapsulated in a <div> element, which adds a brown background. This was a temporary change that allowed us to upload one image, without making other images look inconsistent with the new images uploaded. This <div> element will soon be removed, so all item images will be displayed without background.

I will soon update the Styling guide for uploading images.

PS: Some other images will also have their background removed (e.g. on Other page and Sent by Users page).

So, now that dust is settling after the latest update and I can finally catch up with the wiki... I though I'd pitch some suggestions for a next update.

0.- please, please, no more big updates! At least not in the next couple of years; hopefully that way I'll be able to finally catch up on everything. I can't imagine what a new player might feel when they find all that there is to do... and the dizzying amount of time they'd need to catch up with everything...

1.- now that there is (since a few updates ago) a way to input text (for familiar names), maybe it wouldn't be too complicated to add a way to input amounts wherever there are sliders? It would be really convenient for instance to dump specific amounts into the cauldron (now that there is no limit for that), or for investing specific amounts in techs, buildings, etc.

2.- new skill for heroes: "Restrained blow". Something similar to the "first blow won't kill a familiar". Selectable just as Smashing blow or Round kick. It would be useful when you are trying to level up your heroes, for instance, so as not to kill an enemy before it summons / duplicates...

3.- allow the hero to take Grimoires into the Dungeon, so that you can use them for Familiars when they reach the corresponding level and can keep earning XP on that same Dungeon run...

4.- some way for the hero to repair Mechanical spiders inside the Dungeon? Maybe a new hero skill, or allowing the hero to take a Mechanism into the Dungeon and use it to restore a damaged Mechanical spider to full health...

5.- this is a repeat one (I think also from @Maxxkazimieszko): some kind of "sink" for MPs. Sometimes you do not have time to go (or do not feel like going) into the Dungeon, but you are close to your Warehouse limit for MPs. So... you decide not to solve any more Nonograms because the MP awarded would go to waste. The train to Tokyo is not really a solution for this, as it only "drains" 60 MP, and you can only do that once every day or so (depending on buffs, and whether you have the train at home or already travelling...).

So... what do people think about these? And more importantly... what does @Ucdevs think? ;O)

Cheers!

These are special days for the whole community (tomorrow will be the 4th anniversary of this beautiful wiki) and also for me: a year ago I entered the tavern for the first time and I met a beautiful and active community. Then I came here to try to bring my little contribution. Then the adventure in Discord began.

Solving nonograms has always helped me overcome the bad moments of life so first of all I want to thank @Ucdevs for creating this beautiful game and for always creating new content.

I am grateful to fate for having introduced me to all of you, wonderful people who made me feel part of a big family. Many times I feel tired and demoralized but your affection gives me the energy to go on, so I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart: @The Crossblade for the contagious enthusiasm with which you work every day to improve this wiki (and for supporting with infinite patience my ideas making them come true), @Maxxkazimieszko for the infinite care with which you update your precious and reliable statistics and for creating emufight with which I spent many exciting hours as a betatester (I hope this adventure can continue), @Alartor and @Alyonushka for all the data you have collected with so much dedication (you were the first avatars I saw when I discovered the existence of the wiki and you made me fond of it), @DasMia for involving me in the Discord adventure, @Mayraf123 and @Thistle2023 for the work done together on our nonograms database, jpjpjpjp for his tutorials that made me return to F4 (now I hate the forest less), IndexFossil (I hope you can come back soon) and all the other people I met in the tavern for the hours of fun spent together. In the impossibility of mentioning them all, I thank all the people who even with a single edit or a suggestion have contributed to the growth of this beautiful creature that is our wiki. I wish you all the best.

Happy New Year to everyone and... Happy Birthday wiki !

Sections of building pages are managed by a module. This means that they will auto update, when data modules are updated (at least for the most part). Some parts are still manually written (e.g. building descriptions and flavor text).

Section that are generated by the module:

• First paragraph, which describes the core elements of the building and when they can be built.

• Flavor text (if a building has one - copied from the in-game description).

• Character level requirements for certain building levels.

• Gallery of building levels.

• Building levels (what is needed to upgrade each level).

• Crafting/passive income and which boosts boost their production.

• Technologies.

The main differences between now and then:

• Titles of levels got renamed: "Pagoda (levels)" -> "Levels".

• Which boosts boost the production of crafting/passive income is now clearer and includes projects.

Also, now I can delete some templates, that were only used for buildings, but are not included in the module.

Merry Christmas, y'all.

The devs confirmed that new content is coming.

There are 2 planned changes that are coming:

• The ability to hide the "Dungeon complete!" button.

• The ability to see the next upgrade of a building even if no items were supplied yet. Example: If you have Ship lvl. 3 and you have not invested any items into Ship lvl. 4, now you can see what items are needed for upgrading when you send the ship away.

Recently Joxer Rh reached character level 500. Congratulations! UCdevs confirmed that level 500 was the maxim level and suggested to increase it to 700 (that's double the XP needed for 500).

My opinion: I will most likely never reach level 500, so I don't really care about the character level limit. The levelling up rewards are so small, that it doesn't really make much of a difference, if you get them or not - especially at the level where you have everything built.

Others have also suggested:

• Increasing levelling rewards for all levels.

• Get a special bonus/perk after reaching level 500, that would compensate for the lost XP.

• After reaching level 500, you can reset the adventurers guild and start all over again, but with a permanent, but small, boost (e.g. +10% loot on nonograms). Also known as "prestige-ing".

• After reaching level 500, reset rewards for all nonograms so you can solve them again for loot.

• I might have missed some suggestions.

@Ucdevs , I have noticed that when I have 3 Familiars and the Mechanical spider deployed, bosses will not summon any enemies when dropping below 50% health... Is there any reason for this, is it a bug... or a feature? 😄 Thanks!

Edit:

PS: I must say, it's quite convenient if you want to beat the level spending fewer MP or food... but on the other hand, if you want to level up faster, you miss the additional XP, heheh...

I think recommended order of silk consumption is wrong.

100 silk for guild banner cant be consumed without tailor level 2.

So you need 20 silk for tailor level 2 before 100 for guild banner.

Also you have to visit Rome to get 20 glass for tailor level 2. And at that moment you cant have outpost level 3 (requires Samurai Armor - tailor level 3) nor guild banner (requires tailor level 2). This means that visit to Rome to get 20 glass has to be made with risk of 20% robbery.

@Ucdevs

Thank you for very nice game!

Since you are sometimes implementing suggestions, I would like to suggest a new "building": Breeding Pen.

You put two familiars into the Breeding Pen. They have to be of the same color code, and fully leveled up to their highest possible level. After adding some additional resources (and waiting some time), they produce an offspring (after which the original familiars wander off and dissapear).

The offspring familiar has the same color code as the parents, and a combination of the best features from each of the parents (and do of course start at lvl 1). It will randomly look like one of its parents.

Example:

Parent 1:

5 harts

3 swords

4 shields

3 moves

1 throwing knife

Sneaking ability

Parent 2:

3 harts

4 swords

1 shield

5 moves

3 throwing flames

1 demoralization

Offspring

5 harts

4 swords

4 shields

5 moves

3 throwing flames

Sneaking ability

1 demoralization

To build a train it's needed astronomical amount of Mechanism, steel and meteoric steel. For that i need a lot of Meteoric Iron. What is the best way to get the best result? Which dungeon level? Which forest level? Which map? Anything that could help will be appreciated

And its after collecting 8000 wooden beams. No mercy here...

Hi, i just met what i think is a bug with my very first nono-ban 😅. One ballot is in another room and i have no way to move it back. Do you have any tip to help me on this please ?
