  • I don't know if this is intended, but if you want to do anything with writing text, the terminal captures those inputs
  • Holding the "e" key causes UI freeze (you can't press any other buttons, but the game continues running) (sometimes happens, sometimes not)
  • Text "Shop" and "Build" are overlapping a text "Press a SPACEBAR" to mine a boulder, until SPACEBAR button is pressed
  • Holding the "d" key in shop (while having big amount of Rubble) causes UI freeze (you can't press any other buttons, but the game continues running)

That's all i could find for now

Thank you so much for reporting theses bugs and detailing them. I'm already working on the first point (keys being registered all the time) and I will definitely address the other. Thanks again :)

  • The "Steel" counter is missing
  • The "[R] Drill" text is missing
  • You can't switch between drill types in the "Drill Types" menu
  • The game randomly stops auto-mining (sometimes indicated by the disappearance of the "Iron" text), which forces the player to close and reopen the game manually to restore auto-mining
  • Clicking "d" key in the store, followed by spamming "h" key causes the heater to switch back to grey and not remaining red as expected

That's all for now
