The Neeblarium — Update v0.2.1

This update is all about making the Neeblarium easier to read, easier to use, and easier to understand —especially as the engineering, blueprint, and achievement systems deepen.

Nothing flashy. Just meaningful polish where it matters.

🛠️ Clearer Tools, Better Feedback

Several core tools and panels now communicate their state more clearly:

• Engineering tools now appear consistently in the tool palette when unlocked

• Section headers and icons in the Engineering Panel have been refined for readability

• Tool icons and UI assets have been refreshed to better match the current visual language

You should spend less time guessing why something is unavailable—and more time deciding what to do next.

🧬 Blueprint & Lab UX Improvements

Working with blueprints and extractions is now more transparent:

• Extraction buttons explain why an action is blocked, directly in the UI

• Tooltips have been simplified and rewritten for clarity

• Lab views now prioritize lifecycle phase over ambiguous status labels

The lab should feel like a place of understanding, not friction.

🏆 Achievement & Progression Tuning

Progression systems continue to settle into place:

• Achievement thresholds have been adjusted for better pacing

• Steam achievement handling has been improved and stabilized

• Badge logic has been cleaned up to avoid misleading signals

Your progress should now feel more intentional—and more reliably tracked.

🎨 Visual & UI Polish

A handful of smaller but important refinements landed in this build:

• Updated UI icons and assets across multiple panels

• Improved section spacing and hierarchy

• Reduced visual noise in status labels and tooltips

These changes don’t shout—but they add up.
