Upgrading the factory to V is on the list of upcoming content.

And demonic cultivator content should also be coming in the future.

Thank you for reporting these:

1. Tournaments for V are coming in the upcoming months along with the rest of the story / event content for PC.

2. Will be fixed in beta4

3. She is difficult certainly! This is the nerfed version of her too.

What puppet do you mean? The training grounds scale to your realm already

Yes I intend to bring it to steam when its closer to completion (probably around realm 7-8).

No worries, hope you enjoy the game!

When you first spoke to him he should have given you the recipes (they should be in your inventory). If they are not, please do share your save and I can investigate.

Aha! The issue is that its a Shadow Core (IV), not (III)! Get some of those, and you can unlock the rest of the recipes (except the deep copper one of course).

The deep copper recipe isn't one you earn. Its the recipe for the Legacy Key in the Forgelord plot, and only used by the event.

As for the others, it sounds like there might be a bug if they arent unlocking. Can you share your save so I can investigate?

Glad you're enjoying it!

On the recipes:

Goldsand is used by an upcoming Pillar Creation recipe, so you can't get that yet.

Deep Copper is an event-only recipe, I'll remove it from the list.

The rest are unlocked by researching items from the mine (1x Yinying Globule and 2x Shadow Core).

So you're just missing those 3

I do see your frustration, I certainly didn't plan around people playing 100's of hours!

I'll see what I can do to add a renewable source of lifespan. My main concern is if its too easy to get, then logically the world of the game would be full of immortal characters, which wouldn't make much sense. So got to figure out something that makes it work within the lore.

On the topic of lifespan, currently the highest age player (from my analytics) is less than 1/5 of their available lifespan (and they've spent a very long time grinding on some challenges). As a result, I don't think it's an issue beyond the perception of it going down. The time it would take to actually run out of lifespan is so long in real life I doubt anyone will hit it without actively trying to.

Thank you for reporting that bug! It'll be fixed in the next release.

And i'll put in a request for the option to swap the name order. Not sure when I'll get to it but its on the list now!

Glad you're enjoying!

Do you mean to swap the text you put in forename / surename?
Or just to swap the order anywhere your full name is shown in game?

Thank you, and I'm glad you're enjoying yourself!

This link should be a permanent one: https://discord.gg/gnyjqwxzC7

You have now been unbanned. Do not get hacked again!

Interesting. Is AscendFromNineMountains from in local folder (or LocalLow if you have it)?

Do you mean that you can't find the AppData folder? Or that the AscendFromNineMountains folder isnt in there? Or that theres no saveBackups?

Whats your discord username?

Thank you! If you're looking for more interaction we have an active discord. Come join us :D

Not planned any time soon, alternative languages would be a post-full release feature (a couple years off).

You can make multiple characters, just click new game and then when you click continue in the future it'll so all your created ones.

As for fist specific help, come onto the discord. There's always people willing to help with stances. Barrier can get stacked really high when you start combining various multipliers, like buffs to power, fist boost, and crit. In fact late qi condensation you should be able to max out your barrier each round. Again, how to get there requires all sorts of optimisations. Ripple Fist is also a very strong buff, hence it doesn't have a huge amount of techniques that can build it. But you can get it on masteries, which can help with stacking it fast.

Firstly I'll say tournaments are some of the hardest fights, as its the best cultivators of that school of techniques in the realm!

Fist is a very bursty, so you sort of have to out burst your opponent in tournaments. The other approach is leaning heavily into barrier to survive the burst rounds.

The main increase in power for the player is good stances, so if you are finding things tough then optimise that. Also look into good masteries and good gear. And finally, the game is balanced around using pills, so not doing so is nerfing yourself.

Also, most cultivators you can fight are the strongest of the realm, not standard weak enemies, so they should be a challenge.

This issue has been fixed

Glad you're enjoying yourself! That bug should be fixed in 0.5.16, would you mind trying the latest version and confirming if you still see it?

Each realm takes me around 3 months, so with 5 realms left about 15 months or so. Maybe up to 2 more years to be pessimistic?

Yes. Your saves are stored in your AppData, so it'll be automatically picked up by any version.

As regularly as I have stuff to release. I aim for once a week but it really depends.

Here you go! https://discord.gg/gnyjqwxzC7

Your save data is stored in the user AppData folder, so just run the new version and itll pick up your previous save.

Sure, drop me a message on discord

I'm glad you've enjoyed!

On the topic of buffs, it is a tricky one. There is a very wide variety between ones that stack, ones that are permanent, ones that stack in duration, etc etc. Currently, the only things that stack in intensity are ones that say 'per stack' after the stat. I know that isn't super obvious on the ones that don't do that (as it doesn't say anything like 'not per stack'), but it's hard to find a place in the UI for such a message.

I will look into ways to make this clearer however. Cant say when I will have a solution though.

Did you maybe restart the game during the tutorial? Something like this was reported by someone on the discord after doing that.

If so, you will have to make a new character, and play through the whole tutorial before closing the game (about 15mins).

If it happened without you closing, do say and try to detail the steps you did so I can try to replicate it.

Good spot on Versatile Blood, will fix.

And the Animated Stitches will be getting a rework in the next month or so, so they are not a good example to test against for now.

Your save will be automatically picked up and updated to the new version.

In 0.4.5 you can now increase the font size. It will cause some clipping in particular areas of the game, but it should hopefully make it more playable for you.

You can find backups of your saves in AppData\Roaming\AscendFromNineMountains\saveBackups, transfer that to your other machine and in the continue menu there will be a button to restore from those backups.

This bug is now fixed in 0.4.2

Right, that does sound like a bug. Shall fix
