Hotfix v0.1.51 — Tutorial Rework, Bug Fixes

Mithril & Mud · build 22334982 · published 13 Mar 2026, 19:17 UTC

On SteamNotes only · this build shipped before we watched the app

Replaced all tutorial arrows with gold pulse highlights directly on the target buttons — no more floating arrows pointing at nothing
Tutorial now highlights the exact button you need to click: Better Pickaxe, Hire Dwarf Miner, Build (Surveyor's Office), Assign (+), Dig Deeper
Assign Worker step highlights both the + assign button AND the Hire Worker button simultaneously
Dig Deeper button pulses at a slower rate since it may take longer to reach
Tutorial retries finding targets every frame if a button hasn't been created yet (handles dynamic UI)

🔍 "Check It Out" button on hint popups — when a new feature hint appears, a gold button lets you jump directly to that feature's panel (27 hints mapped to their panels)
⚙️ Achievements, Modifiers, and Statistics moved to Settings — removed from the top bar to reduce clutter;
now accessible under the renamed "Gameplay/Stats" tab in Settings (keyboard shortcuts F1/F2/M still work)
🐉 Lithodore kill cap — Lithodore now flees after killing 5 dwarves, ending the raid with no rewards
(dragon flies away instead of death animation)
⚠️ EA disclaimer on game screen — the Early Access notice from the main menu now also appears at the top
center of the gameplay HUD
🔒 Debug console keybinding hidden in release builds — the backtick keybind entry no longer shows in
Settings > Keybindings for Steam players

💎 Runestone panel live refresh — buy buttons now update in real-time when mithril changes while the panel is open
📊 Resource label vibration reduced — top-right resource counters now pulse gently (1.05x scale, 0.25s
ease-out) instead of shaking; right-edge numbers pulled in 5px to prevent clipping off-screen
⛏️ Pickaxe upgrade multi-resource cost display — costs with multiple resources now display on separate
lines instead of one long unreadable string
🏆 Challenge exploit fixed — cancelling a challenge no longer marks it as completed; new save slots fully
reset completed challenges
🤖 Automation config reset bug fixed — opening the automation panel no longer overwrites your custom room
caps and priorities
🤖 Automation status label fixed — HUD status now correctly shows all active auto-purchase toggles
📜 Automation scroll hint added — "Scroll for more" text next to the Automation title
📜 Automation help popup title fixed — help popups now show the correct section name instead of always showing "Assignment"

Hire buttons renamed: "Hire Dwarf Miner — X Ore" vs "Hire Worker — X Ore" so players can distinguish them at a glance
Room cards, build buttons, assign buttons, and descend button all given explicit node names for reliable UI targeting
