Save system rework
The save system has been reworked to hopefully stop saves from having a rare chance of corrupting when the game ends in an abrupt manor (pc crash, power cut etc.) There are further improvements coming to the save system but I wanted to get this update out quickly to address the s

Clicking rework - Crosshairs & idle improvements!

Clicking to attack has been reworked!
Spam clicking to fill up the attack bar has been removed and replaced by crosshairs that spawn on the enemy. Clicking a crosshair will make you attack the enemy instantly!
Critical crosshairs can also spawn which cause you to attack several times in quick succession. The base chance for a crosshair crit is 10%, this can be increased to 40% in the Super Skill Tree.
Critical crosshairs appear golden so you can tell the difference.
Crosshairs can be automatically triggered via Auto-Crosshair upgrades.
Upgrades relating to clicking and the auto-drone have been reworked:

The auto-tapper drone now increases your Auto-Crosshair chance by 10% per level
The SSP Tree Auto-Drone node now increases your Crosshair Crit Chance from 10% to 40%
The Rusty Woodpecker item now increases your Auto-Crosshair chance by 50% for 10 mins
Other idle improvements:

Base attack speed has been buffed for everyone by ~35%
Magnet Mittens (effect: Collect whole scrap piles in one tap) are now given to everyone for free instantly
Golden Anvil (effect: +3 Max Craft Multiplier) is now given to everyone for free instantly
Comfy Pillow (Increases offline time from 8 to 24 hours) is now given to everyone for free instantly
Two levels of the Auto-Drone upgrade can be purchased for 1 NM each (down from 50/60 - more or less free)
Thanks to everyone that has been playing the game so far!

Lootbug adjustments + save wipe and more
The 2nd loot button on the lootbug has been adjusted to not look like it costs a steam point Previously just the 2nd loot button would award a steam point but now both do! Code 789000000 has been added to wipe your save, this can be used by the few players that have experienced s

Previously just the 2nd loot button would award a steam point but now both do!
Code 789000000 has been added to wipe your save, this can be used by the few players that have experienced save corruption (There is a series of confirmation steps so you can't do this accidentally)
Stopped the backspace key prompting you to close the game
Fixed the steam point side notification appearing prematurely (You must now wait for the boost to end before you can reactive it - The lootbug steam point change should more than makeup for loss to steam point income this change has made
