Update 0.0.4

Hello!

I've been working on the feedback I received after sharing this game on Reddit. v 0.0.4 has a lot of QOL, a new machine, a new rock, and more! If you have a save in the game, I'd recommend deleting it to try out the new balancing! You can delete your save in the options menu.

Some thing to note- this update focuses on QOL, balancing the early-game, as well as introducing the new hammer machine. The hammer machine currently only has one recipe, and we only added 1 new rock this update, but look forward to new things to smash soon!

Finally, with this update, I have also created a Discord channel for the game. Check it out: https://discord.gg/dzjj5gTyZc

Features:

• New machine: Hammer - smash and combine items to process them further!
• Gem (citrine) added to iron rock drop table
• New rock: Coal rock
• New item: Coal
• New item: Diamond
• New item: Stone dust
  
• Added auto-forge upgrade
  
• Upgrades can now cost items as well as money
  
• You can now view forge and hammer recipes while using them
• Each menu now has a corresponding hotkey (the info menu will tell you)
  
• The Info and Log menus have been combined- the log is now permanently displayed while the info menu will now only appear when needed
  
• Added button to access new Discord channel
• An arrow appears at the beginning of the game to signal to set the first rock

Changes:

• Updated ingot sprites
  
• Removed auto-rock toggle (once bought, you cannot turn it off. Because why would you?)
• Crit skill now works similar to luck skill (percents over 100% mean it can proc additively)
• Rock upgrades have been split into 3 separate upgrades
• Changed gem percent from 1% -> 0.5%
• Drop table text formatting changed
• Iron ingot recipe changed to include stone dust
• Log now displays with the newest messages on the top
• Damage text lingers a bit longer
• Before you buy the copper rock, you do not need to select the stone rock from the rock menu each time

Bugs fixed:

• Max skill levels did not stop at 99 (max level will change in the future!)

Thanks,

Thomas
