Copper Wire and a Cleaner Shop
A changelist for Industry².
🎁 Added
- Wire Drawer, a new mid-game machine that draws a compacted ingot into valuable Copper Wire, a parallel option alongside the Jeweler and Cutter, package it to sell
- Feedback button, a new button up top opens a panel with the Offhand Studios Discord link so you can send feedback, report bugs and help shape what gets built next
- Move tool hover hint, hovering the Move tool now tells you exactly how to unlock it
🧼 Improved
- Prestige Shop redesign, a cleaner two column layout with tidier cards, clearer levels and calmer colours
- Toolbar dropdowns now cap their height and scroll, so long lists like Droppers no longer run off the top of the screen
- Engineer tech rebalanced, Engineer Speed and Prime Engineer give a smaller boost now that the engineer also gains speed from levelling up on its own
- The Copper Wire recipe appears in the Production Chain guide once you unlock the Wire Drawer
🪛 Fixed
- Machine and processor boost tasks were being cleared the instant they appeared, so those boosts now work and the Force Machine Task tool behaves
- The machine task marker no longer hides behind neighbouring machines
- Clicking a boost task now shows a clear ripple so the tap always registers
🚯 Removed
- The feedback link is now a selectable field you can highlight and copy, and clicking inside it no longer closes the panel
⚠️ Known Issues
- The Copper Wire value multiplier is still being tuned, so its payout may change in a future update
