You should no longer feel limited to ~1e21 coal count. · Collectors should do their jobs better. · Item drop numbers in the later levels have been increased to match their appropriate levels.

Added the hoverboard. An expensive toy, but it allows you to move in any direction with WASD, as well as hover in place. The hoverboard has a "sprint" option (hold shift, or toggle in settings). Sprint hoverboard movement speed scales with player sprint speed passive effect. · Added Hard Mode No. 5: Only Clay. Inspired by YouTuber & Modder Jinks' video:
Save data should be a bit more robust, with added backups and a change of technical system. In theory it should now prevent data loss if the game crashes unexpectedly. If you have recently suffered lost save data prior to this update, please reach out to me via Discord or Email, and I can help to try and recover your progress.
Added Hard Mode Modifiers (Challenge runs) - unlocked for each profession by winning a standard game as that profession. · Right now there are four new challenge modes: · Coal is worthless - Coal sells for 0g. · Only Coal - No other resources are found underground. · No Bonus Cash - No bonus cash at the end of each day. · No time upgrades - You are stuck at only 100 seconds each day. · Added tr…

Bug fix - Sometimes collectors would get distracted while trying to return coal to the stockpile when you blew the collector whistle. Those collectors have been dealt with.

Small Bug Fixes - Unlock map achievements should now work properly (and should be applied retroactively when you reach the map selection screen.) - Achievements that should not be given in peaceful mode are no longer being given in peaceful mode!
