Opus Magnum news & patch notes

• Changed the GIF frame to localize the names of metrics, since it already localized the names of puzzles.
• Fixed a bug where the guilder sign (G) was replaced with a dollar sign ($) in the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean translations of the game.
• Fixed a bug where pressing the escape key did not close the new journal issue menu.

• Puzzles in the journal now have a variety of music instead of a single song.
• Fixed a crash when loading a solution that referenced an input or output that was deleted from a custom puzzle.
• Fixed an issue where the new achievement would only show a progress update when you solved a puzzle in a journal issue that you had previously not solved a puzzle in.

• You can now click on the journal issue name to open a menu that lets you quickly select a different journal issue.
• The current journal issue is now persisted in your save file, so that when you relaunch the game it will be open to the same page as last time.
• You can now press F10 to reload the list of custom puzzles.
• Pressing F10 to reload the current solution should now be much faster if you have many solutions.
• Fixed a bug where scrollbar handles could get so small that they were unclickable.

Today's update adds the final issue of the Journal of Alchemical Engineering, at least for now. It also adds a new achievement, The Way of the Philosopher, for players who solve at least one puzzle in each of the 24 journal issues.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a puzzle in the last few months (over 750 submissions!) and even more thanks to the super-players who sorted through these (did I mention there were over 750 submissions?), picked out the best, and grouped them together into thematic sets.

Volume CVIII, Issue XII: Highlights from the Alchemical Exposition

The first-ever Alchemical Exposition was a celebration of the spirit and ingenuity of the greater alchemical engineering community. Practitioners from all over the world convened to share insights, exchange ideas, and even give members of the public a rare opportunity to view the latest developments. We are proud to feature some of the most popular demonstrations from this triumphal event, and wish to thank all who contributed.

Opus Magnum jest teraz dostępne po polsku!

Opus Magnum is now available in Polish!

Thanks to Michał "Doczek" Dokrzewski for providing a Polish fan-translation, which also includes the DLC and is now available in-game!

This update also includes a fix for ExternalLeaderboardURLs not properly uploading GIFs, whatever that means. It's kind of an IYKYK situation.

Today's update adds support for the brand new De Re Metallica DLC, available here:

It also adds a bunch of non-DLC features, like:

• a new halt instruction (for stopping arms)

• a semi-secret fast-forward button (hold Alt while starting playback)

• three new issues of the Journal of Alchemical Engineering

• fixes for a bunch of bugs that should have been fixed years ago
