Hello smiths, it's me!!! I've finally recovered after getting covid a few weeks ago, and to celebrate, here's a new build for you! In order to play on the experimental build, you will have to opt-in to the experimental build in the Steam Betas tab. Google is your friend if you aren't sure how to do this.
It's been amazing seeing how many people have bought and played the game already, I wanna thank everyone again for all the support. Please consider leaving a steam review if you can, every review helps out a TON! And thank you everyone who's joined the discord and provided valuable feedback and bug reports. You're all the best!
Now without further ado, let's get into what's new in this version!
Additions
- You can now re-summon the merchant for 5c with the help of a new friend.
- Added a bucket to the merchant's wares.
- Added a bigger crucible to the merchant's wares.
- Chatlings can now use !float, !chase, !grab, and !help commands.
Changes
- Tongs now properly grab ingots out of molds instead of grabbing the molds themselves.
- Tongs are now centered on the cursor.
- Ingots will no longer melt while held with tongs.
- Magnet strength increased slightly.

Fixes
