[2.1.0] Aetherium Forge

Hello Looters!

First, an important technical update regarding Gems. The amount of gems being farmed from bosses was way higher than we originally anticipated. Because of this, we had to rewrite the internal logic for how gems handle data. This means old gems cannot stack with newly dropped gems.
We know this isn't optimal, but it was crucial for the game's performance. We highly recommend combining your existing gems before updating since it you CANNOT combine them anymore after update.

Now that we have that covered, onto the main news!

The Aetherium Forge is Here!
A brand new Realm has opened. Go and explore what it has to offer!

New Companion
We’ve added a new early-game friend: the Gilded Companion. This can be bought very early on from the Permanent Upgrades menu for just 1 Million Gold.

Quality of Life & UI Improvements

UI Clarity: We’ve added a breakdown of "Active Gear Effects" to both the Equipment and Prestige views.
New Tab: Achievements and Leaderboards have moved to their own dedicated tab for easier access.
Keyboard Support: Added support for Esc to cancel/close and Enter to continue/confirm actions.
Expeditions: Added an Auto-Restart functionality! Once you are strong enough, you can fully idle your way through them.
Bulk Use: You can now use as many potions as you desire with one click. You can also open all Scrap Caches instantly!
Auto-Salvage: Improved the auto-salvage filter. You can now filter by wiki favourites.
Sorting: Added a new sorter for gear: Sockets (High -> Low).
Socketing Flow: The game now remembers which gem stack you selected, so you can insert gems into multiple items without going back and forth.
Synchronous Backups: The game now maintains three separate backup files for extra safety.
And a lot more!

Balance Changes

Buff: Increased the amount of gems sold by the Traveling Merchant and the Shop.
Cap: Some players (we won't name names... but yes, you) managed to acquire so many books that the library ran out! For this reason, Tomes are now capped at 1,000.

Thank you for all the bug reports!

As always,
Happy Grinding!
