Changelog

  • Fixed duplicate adornments in the pool
  • Fixed initial weapons and shields being in the pool, which could cause softlocks
  • Fixed logic issue with Radiance of Fragment check not required Main Quest 5 to be started
  • Fixed empty shops in Dead Dunes on Days 1-7
  • Added Archipelago 0.7.0 required JSON file to ensure future compatibility

Notes

  • If you are upgrading Nova Chrysalia mod manager from 1.X to 2.X, uninstall all mods from Nova 1.X first, extract Nova 2.X to a new location, and install all your previous mods in Nova 2.X.
  • EN Text is required. Text for other languages is not supported due to maintainability concerns with the duplicated data.

Known Issues/Limits

  • Items sent to you are retrieved by holding the sprint button on the field (L2/R2 or LT/RT). This is a workaround to avoid crashes when trying to add automatically with no input.
  • Game overs are removed so you can technically get to the final day without completing the 5 main quests. This is safer for AP, but obviously that would be out of logic by skipping everything.
  • Chests that cost 6 EP are not currently in logic and are considered excluded/missable
  • Recovery items received from AP while your recovery item bag is full will be lost

Troubleshooting

  • Do NOT use the File > Reboot option in game, always close the game and relaunch through Nova
  • In Nova, always launch the game in Unpacked mode with "Voice Over Setting" set to the language you unpacked data for.

If you still have issues without not seeing modded content:

  1. Delete unpacked game data in Nova
  2. Unpack game data again in Nova
  3. Regenerate the rando modpack
  4. Uninstall and remove the old modpack in Nova, and re-install the modpack
  5. Be sure to launch the game in Unpacked and in the same voice language as unpacked data (EN/JP)!
