1 July 2026

Ring Setter, a two tile combiner that fuses a Gemstone and a compacted ingot into a Ring, unlocks at Rebirth 4
Necklace Bench, a larger four tile combiner that fuses a Gemstone and a Ring into a Necklace, unlocks at Rebirth 5
Rings and Necklaces, new high tier crafted goods that you package and sell
Saveable Blueprints, save a layout as a named blueprint and stamp it back down later, stored separately so it survives every rebirth and reset
Flow overlay, a toggle that outlines your belts and machines to show throughput and highlight bottlenecks
Achievement rewards, every achievement now pays out Tech Points and coins the moment it unlocks
Idle animation for the engineer while it waits in the shop

The first three craft parts now unlock in a chain, earn the coin milestone for the Jeweler, then process Jewels to open the Assembler, then process Machines to open the Gem Cutter
Starter unlock milestones now cost more to reach for a longer, more deliberate early game
Plasma and Quantum droppers now take up two tiles and the Antimatter dropper is a three tile L
The Forge is now a three tile machine that passes material straight through its middle tile
Travel through machines now have an exit port the finished part emerges from
Rebirth reward now scales with how much you earned during the run
The guide keeps pieces you have not reached yet hidden until you discover them
Prestige Shop rebuilt as a compact grid of cards so it takes up far less of the screen
Compact factory now asks you to confirm before it removes the factory
Rebirths and Mechanical Parts are now shown under the coin total, and Stats, Daily and Awards sit in one row beside Leaderboards

Long names on the Most Earned leaderboard no longer overlap the row beneath them
The Ring Setter and Necklace Bench no longer push their finished goods out sideways
Combiners no longer show the input material leaving the machine, only the finished Ring or Necklace comes out
The daily reward now resets correctly when a run resets

Any Forge or Plasma, Quantum or Antimatter dropper placed before this update changed footprint size, remove and replace it if it looks broken
