🔧 Idle Life - Small Patch Update A small patch just went live improving the item system and interaction logic. ⚙️ Equip System Fix • Fixed an issue with the item equip system. ⛏ Reworked Item Interaction • Reworked all mining, crafting and smelting timers. • Equipped tools now reduce time by a percentage instead of a fixed value. • This allows better scaling for stronger tools later in the game. 🧠 Automatic Tool Selection The game now automatically selects the best equipped tool. Example: If you equip both a Wood Pickaxe and a Stone Pickaxe, the system will automatically use the Stone Pickaxe because it reduces more time. 🛠 Tool Categories Cooldown reductions are now separated into categories: • Axe • Pickaxe • Shovel • Hammer • Burn Time *(temporary name)* Axe, Pickaxe, Shovel → for Mining, Digging, Cutting Trees Hammer → reducing some crafting times Burn Time → reduces furnace smelting...
