Build 0.1.1 Patch Notes (8/21/25)

This update includes several changes to address the feedback I've received from you all. There is more to come as we approach Next Fest this Fall, and you can expect additional content shortly. Some of the changes in here will reflect a movement towards standardizing terminology in the game as well as expected interactions. The next patch will address this even more as I work to bring everything in line.

I want to say thank you again to every tester, your feedback is helping Pillar of Salt be the best I can make it. Please keep it coming!
