Improvements

• Added Cloud Save support.

• Improved several upgrade descriptions to make their effects clearer.

• Most upgrades now display specific stats such as Damage, Probability, Duration, etc. instead of the generic Effect label.

• Swift Steps can now be purchased after unlocking either the Rock Golem or the Mechanic Golem, since it benefits all golems.

• Treasure Golems now display a summary of all resources dropped when defeated.

• Echo Mining pickaxes are now only shown when they actually hit a block and are easier to distinguish from the main pickaxe.

• Improved gamepad and Steam Deck navigation in the Upgrades panel. Every slot in the grid can now be navigated, preventing confusing cursor jumps.

• Added clearer antisynergy warnings to Frozen Depths and Ember Depths.

• Added an option to disable the Upgrades and Golems button shake when new purchases become available.

• Updated gamepad controls to better match common standards:

  • Right stick: Camera movement

  • Left stick: Cursor movement

• Improved the Hands On achievement description. Fixed an issue where blocks destroyed by Echo Mining and Endless Excavation were not counted toward achievement progress.

• Reduced the number of clicks required for interactive events to 5. Events with upgrades that reduce click requirements now require 7 clicks before upgrades are applied.

• Removed the Restart option from the in-game menu.

• Prestige upgrades now display links to their prerequisite upgrades, making progression easier to understand.

• Reduced the upgrade requirements for Hidden Veins to appear

• Added a help message when attempting to purchase Prestige upgrades from the read-only Prestige panel.

• World Events now provide clearer guidance on how to interact with them.

• Hold Shift while clicking to purchase 10 upgrade levels at once.

• Updated default keyboard shortcuts:

  • Q: Upgrades Panel

  • E: Golems Panel

  • Tab: Stats Panel (replacing U, G, and O)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Treasure Golem particles only appearing after the first kill.

• Fixed Minimalist and Pacifist Machines achievements unlocking incorrectly after loading a save.

• Prevented UI navigation on certain panels while the game menu is open.

• Fixed an issue preventing a new game from starting if the save file became corrupted. Added recovery support that allows continuing from a new run if prestige data remains intact.

• Fixed incorrect resource bonus percentages displayed on Prestige upgrades.

• Fixed tooltips getting stuck while navigating the Upgrades panel with a gamepad or Steam Deck.

• Fixed several potential memory leak issues.
