Critical Hits Now Grant Bonus Ore
Critical hits on the mine node were purely visual — they played the flash and sound but didn't actually give extra ore. Crits now deal 2x ore damage. They're also rarer now (about 1 in 40 clicks) to keep them feeling special.
Critical Hit Visual Overhaul
Replaced the ugly flashing square on crit hits with an expanding golden ring and spark rays. Much cleaner. (Will improve as we move forward)
Ancestral Knowledge Exploit
Deep Cavern events were awarding flat Ancestral Knowledge that didn't scale with prestige level, allowing players to accumulate massive AK far too quickly. AK rewards now scale like other premium rewards.
Depth Cost Reduction (Trade Post)
The Clockwork Guild trade upgrade that reduces depth costs wasn't resetting properly after Ascension, causing the discount to silently break. Fixed.
Crown Forge Crash (Quench Phase)
Fixed a crash that could occur during the green zone timing phase of the Forge the Crown mini-game. Internal animations are now properly tracked and cleaned up between attempts.
Thank you for your patience. Keep digging. ⛏️
