"-The lust potion gives 1 wet. Now matter how much I tease and it awards +1, the count never rises." Huh, this is strange, I opened the code for v.0.5.hotfix1 and it quite clearly says "$ ari_droplets = 2", did you by any chance install v.0.5 into the same directory as an earlier version, overwriting existing files? The 2 droplets should allow you to raise 🔥 to 3 and access new content. :)
