The developers of The Perfect Tower II have released a new update recently. Patch v0.9.1.0 B1 implements the first part of the laboratory rework, making some timely improvements that simplify its overall feel and process.
The original implementation of the Laboratory - a place where you can perform various experiments to unlock elemental damage/resistance bonuses and modules - has been very clunky. This is why the devs have reworked everything to make the UI more consistent.
One of the biggest changes is that experiments with multiple components now have a button to let you buy the maximum number available in one go. Other areas with upgrades that you can buy multiple times now have a similar feature, which is done by right-clicking.
In addition, your chosen prestige upgrades can now be viewed on a small skill tree. You can also reset them at any time so you can re-allocate them as you see fit.
The second part of the laboratory rework will be released in future updates. Some of the things that you can expect include shortcuts to store-specific patterns and additional worker tasks for even more automation of various experiments.
