Kinny updates
Kinny Update Tracker
This page tracks changes that may affect demo routes, release-date notes, ingredient reactions, deck consistency, relic jobs, and scoring routes.
Quick Answer
When Kinny updates, do not assume every recipe route is obsolete. First check whether the change affects ingredient behavior, deck size, reward pacing, relic jobs, or score targets. If the update is only about release timing, use it to mark which guides need retesting, not to rebuild the route around details that may move at launch.

What May Change After Release
Update Triage Route
- Classify the changed system. Ingredient, deck, reward, relic, score, or release scope.
- Retest one known route. Do not judge the update with a brand-new ingredient pile.
- Keep route habits separate from recipe changes. Repeatability and deck discipline still matter even if recipes move.
- Update one guide path. If ingredients changed, update reaction reading first. If scores changed, update reward priority first.
When an Update Should Change Your Run
An update should change your run when it affects the part that made your cauldron stable. If a route depended on one reaction repeating, ingredient changes matter immediately. If the route depended on trimming bloat, reward or deck-size changes matter more. If the update only confirms the release date, the useful action is to mark which pages need retesting later.
The safest habit is to keep one clean demo route, retest the changed system, and avoid turning the cauldron into noise just because a new version is coming.
