Spirit Tab

I'm proud to announce that Orbium now accepts payment for premium currency, known as Orbs. 1 Orb = $0.25 USD. Bean Grower now supports buying a few new things with Orbs!

Harvest Blessing
When used, a Blessing finishes the timers on all your beans. You can buy them for 1 Orb a piece. We reward these for free at the start of the game to make a new player's experience feel more active. We also reward a bunch of them for reaching The End. Everyone's account has been granted 2 free Blessings: the same amount new players will get.

Soil Resetting
Clicking on a plot's thermometer will now open a soil-reset dialog, offering you the ability to set a plot's temperature to neutral for 2 Orbs.

Apocalypse
If you don't like your settlement distribution or just want a change, you can spend 4 Orbs to remake it all: every settlement, locale, and human will be recreated.

Orbium Integration

The top banner has been enhanced with Orb-buying, your Contacts list, and a logout button.

Quality of Life

  • The game will now remember if you clicked the magnifying glass to show bean tilling in the sack.
  • Treasure discovery now says the bean's name.
  • A settler's original gender and name will be appear to you when typing in the name box, should you want to revert or just laugh at them.
  • Transgender settlers will sometimes thank you for swapping them over. (when speaking to them)

Visual

  • Achievement and error notifications have gotten a face lift, and now have enter and exit animations.
  • Various minor styling improvements, especially on mobile.

Bug Fixes

  • There was an anomaly with settlement generation; it's been fixed and anyone who suffered from the error has been fixed.
  • Tapping the thermometer when planting a bean on mobile will now plant the bean, not open up the Soil Reset dialog.
