ITEMS AND RESOURCES:
- Added "Frozen Mine Shaft" (Farm Special).
- Added "Resource Crate" (Farm Special).
- Added "Blub Balloons" (Emporium Deco).
- Added "Lucky Balloons" (Emporium Deco).
VISUAL:
- Raised model rockets by a single pixel when on Blubs' heads.
- Changed Lunar Siphon placement guide to use the "store" colour rather than the "demolish" colour to better reflect its intent.

UI:
- Hovering over the quick-task button while the FPS counter is on will now keep it in the same spot.
- Added moonstone resource outline to the placement guide tiles seen when placing Lunar Siphons (to better illustrate their purpose).
- Added alternating scythe/bomb icon outlines to the placement guide tiles for all Harvesters.
- Added plant icon outline to the placement guide tiles for all Cultivators.
- Cultivators are now more verbose when they are not usable. i.e. if they are blocked or not facing the correct terrain.

GAMEPLAY/BALANCE:
- Doubled capacity* of ice cube hoppers to better line up with their demand: 40 -> 80.
- Increased capacity* of flower hoppers to better line up with their demand: 45 -> 60.
- Slashed liquidation requirement for Cosmic Correspondence VI: 14250 -> 9250.
- Increased value of the Infinite Gumball Machine: 6255 -> 12255.
- Increased value of Mini-golf: 1400 -> 4410.
- Increased value of the Orange Arcade: 500 -> 1200.
- Increased value of the Retro Arcade: 3750 -> 6750.
- Increased value of the Nature fountain: 4440 -> 8440.
- Doubled capacity* of Lunar Siphons to accentuate their role: 10 -> 20.
- Decreased interact delay of Lunar Siphons: .15s -> .05s.
- Changed slot machine to now have a negative house edge, instead of a static 50 LT prize, it's based on the statistically average price to hit plus one, rounded UP to the nearest 50.
- Drastically decreased value of slot machine: 1000000 -> 777777.
- Moved boost zone position on unprocessors from 75% of the bar to 35% so that they can be filled quicker.
- Increased capacity* of cone unprocessors: 20 -> 150.
- Increased capacity* of iron bar unprocessors: 25 -> 200.
- Increased capacity* of pigment unprocessors: 25 -> 120.

- 20 more Cosmic Lava is now obtained upon destruction of the meteorite. Pre-1.2.2 files with destroyed meteorites will still be given the additional 20.
- If the gum tree is some-how not obtained by half-way to max level, it will have a 25% chance of dropping in the wheel.
- If a strawberry milk mixer is obtained but not the fridge, then the fridge is significantly more likely to drop past level 30 and vice versa.
BUGS/TECHNICAL:
- Removed residual debug wheel spin viewer bound to J.
- Converted game to run as a 64-bit executable. 32-bit operating system support has been retired. According to Steam's hardware survey, only a small fraction of a percent of users are running on 32-bit.
- Dropped "STICKS" from the sugarcane importer's name to match its hopper counterpart. Technical name will remain the same for compatibility reasons.
- Increased Lunar Harvester/Reaper concurrent run limit further from 2 to 5.
- Fixed game checking outside of the farm for water streams adjacent to flower sprouters.
- Changed the way tags are read in schematics so that colons can be used in the actual content. e.g. "@title: Hello! :)" in .schematics file will work now.
MISC:
- Corrected a/an error on "The Cherries On Top III" task.
*Capacity changes will take affect on items placed after the update. Moving previously placed items will apply the changes to them.
