Another round of quality of life features and tweaks, laying more groundwork that Qi Condensation builds off.

New Features

• Added abandon quest confirmation prompt.
• Added save backup system. A backup is written on game version upgrade, on save load, and every 10 minutes whilst playing. They are written to AppData\Roaming\AscendFromNineMountains\saveBackups, and can be restored from the continue menu.
• You can now skip the tutorial and opening. This will place you in the Cultivation Chamber with all the items you would have gained by playing it through.

Changes

• Increased font size slightly across the entire game.
• Material compendium now shows all materials in the inventory as well as those in known recipes.
• Recipes list has been optimised.
• Qi Absorption raw values are now rendered, and its scaling has been fixed.
• The Meridian Opening breakthroughs now show a little hint of what is to come in the next realm.
• Increased base Jia Plate charisma slightly, to allow it to be used to pass the Charisma check in the Trials of Worthiness.

Balance Changes

• Petal cascade hits slightly harder.
• Razor and Iron blossom are slightly stronger.
• Armour Up now grants more armour.
• Metal Fragment has now been fixed to merge as many groups of 3 as possible per technique, instead of just 3 per technique. This makes it actually worth investing in.
• Replicate Materials has been buffed.
• Fixed Spin Grinder to only allow 1 instance per stance, given its buff does not stack.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Qi Intensity pill buff render location.
• Fixed some location background images.
