Update Roadmap
This thread is where the roadmap is.

**Planned Major Updates:**

Body Cultivation Rework
* Expand Cultivation realms as listed below
* Introduction of Major and Minor realms.
Current realms / realms in old saves will be Major realms.
Those that choose body realms will have their qi pool converted into a True Qi pool.
* Unique Body Cultivation systems.
Body cultivators will now have a separate ability system and separate progression system from Essence cultivators.
Body cultivators will have their Qi Pool be converted into a True Qi Pool. Unlike Qi, True Qi is never directly used and is instead consumed by Secret Bodies. Secret Bodies will grant abilities and passive buffs when active.
Body cultivators will have their Techniques tab converted into the Remolding tab. This also means they cant use normal/essence techniques but there aren't any arts specific to them at the moment anyways so this change wont mess with old saves. Remolding also includes the previously mentioned Secret Bodies and shows you how to unlock them.
Remolding applies labels to body parts, or levels up current labels. Labels provide various buffs/stat increases. Every Secret Body has a label requirement to unlock.
Keep in mind if you lose a body part, you lose those labels and the secret bodies they unlock. Luckily body cultivators will have much more ways to prevent this than essence cultivators with the new Secret Bodies.
To remold in the first place goes back to my mention of a separate progression system. "Breathing" will grant essence used in remolding. I'll explain this further later.

*afterwards:*
after the body cultivation update il start work on updating and bugfixing all jecrell mods, then work on the first version of the planned mod mentioned in the discord. after that il come back to ascension to add things like secrets, spirit sword flight, divine cultivation and cultivator quests.and finally after that il work on all planned mods mentioned in the discord.

*later updates:*
* vanilla books expanded compat, this will take time since cultivation isn't a skill. much like the spirit cauldron the typewriting table will scale cultivation related book quality with the qi on the tiles it occupies. this idea might be scrapped if it becomes too difficult.
* psychic abilities that help cultivators
* Technique rework, scrolls should be re-useable and technique abilities should need training for use. technique abilities should have training scores that unlocks the ability and improves it with higher scores.

Next update is the last before body cultivation. Body cultivation is allot of work so don't expect updates for a while until its done. The wiki will be worked on during then too though.
