🛠️ Smithcraft Idle — Update Changelog

✨ Major Features Added

• Prestige Cosmetic Frames (Levels 1–10)

Prestiging now unlocks special UI border themes that evolve as your legacy grows.
Each prestige level grants a new visual style:

• Bronze

• Iron

• Silver

• Gold

• Mithril

• Adamant

• Platinum

• Diamond

• Gold-Diamond

• Rainbow

Your forge now looks stronger as you grow stronger.

⚒️ Forging Minigame Improvements

• Moving Sweet Spot

The green “perfect quench” bar in the temperature minigame now:

• Moves left and right dynamically

• Requires more attention and timing

• Always appears above the heat bar to be easier to track

This makes manual forging more engaging and skill-based.

📦 Order System Fixes & Improvements

• Orders No Longer Give Wrong Metal

• After upgrading to a new metal tier, orders now correctly always request the current tier.

• Old orders are cleaned and replaced properly when you upgrade.

• Order Generation Logic Cleaned

• Rerolls and newly generated orders can no longer revert to previous metals.

📈 Sharper Blades Rebalance

• Sharper Blades gold multiplier nerfed

• Reduced from a high exponential impact to a gentler increase per level.

• Prevents runaway early-game gold scaling.

• Keeps progression more stable and meaningful.

🔧 Quality-of-Life Improvements

• Buffed Temperature UI Rendering

• Sweet spot now visually layers correctly over the heat bar.

• Auto Smith Logic Improved

• Worker blacksmiths prioritize orders more reliably.

• Less spam crafting of daggers; more even weapon distribution.

• Internal stability fixes

• Various behind-the-scenes cleanup on order lists, UI rendering, and stats.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed persistent issue where copper orders appeared after upgrading to Iron.

• Fixed inconsistencies with order generation after tier upgrades.

• Fixed forge quality calculations not matching new sweet spot behavior.

• Fixed items selling instantly when inventory was full (system now logs correctly).

📚 Systems Updated

• Prestige now also refreshes UI theme instantly.

• Worker forging quality adjusted for better rarity spread.

• Manual forging recalculated with moving sweet spot for better challenge.
