The Gold Factory: Regilded

Tested some builds for each weapon and here are some of the best results:
.
Spear: 2/1 ratio of hp enchantment to attack, Skill: invulnerability (prime importance of upgrading) Offhand: Proffesor's watch Or Shield (use shield when lower level. Description of build: works best if you want an afk experience and are really in far in the game (tested on wave 54 with level 20 hp and 10 attack, level 60 skill & proffessor's watch, took many minutes but you basically cant die for how fast you recover hp and with a full minute of not recieving dmg works really well.
Sword: 1/1 or 1/1.5 attack to hp ratio,Skill: invulnerability (prime importance of upgrading) Offhand: Shield Description of build: Extremely similar to spear only it is more balanced regarding dmg and speed, probably 1/1.5 ratio (hp/atk) works best really depends on your playstyle but this is mostly to not be in a fight for several minutes.
Axe: 1.5/1 atk/hp ratio Skill: invulnerability (on lower levels hp is more important to upg {levels 1-10}) Offhand: Shield Description of build:More dmg based tool, still best to use idle, still took several minutes to beat wave 54, for lower wave levels the strange switcase might work better.
Maul:2/1 atk/hp ratio Skill: (depends if for farming gold or farming waves lightning/invulnerability) Offhand: nothing description of build: strongest tool by far, beat wave 54 in 2 minutes more or less (surprisingly fast) usually best to use if you want active playing and not idle. Really great to use for gold farming.
.
(note that these were tested out with around 30mill gold available, for lower gold accesibility id suggest using sword 1 to 1 build)

my favorite feature is when i spam the chest the ghost is guarding lol

I really appreciate the hp rebalancement, i can now fight rats again without having to wait like 10 minutes for the fight to end :pray: . Havent yet figured the exact function but most likely is a cuadratic or sum, idk. New weapons goes crazy, tho i dont like the idea of having to craft each of them again after changing one weapon after another. A cool addition i thought of is to add individual abilities to each weapon (upgradable) for example the maul to have a small % of stunning the enemy or the swordhaving a bleeding effect also a % of happening. Maybe add a limit to attack enchant or add a faster scaling in price, rn i have it at lvl 44 and it only costs 16million. same with abilities, i have them at level 50 and only costs 1.25 millions. The removal of popups is such a goated addition. Really nice update

If I knew the training robot would increase its health based on my own I would've milked it for as much attack as I could before increasing my health.

also something i forgot in my previous comment but why the heck is the rat from the factory scaling to have thousands of hp??? its a rat yet it has more hp then the demon at the end of the nether portal

FYI, if you buy the factory, you cannot decipher anymore afaik. So if you want these rewards, you might as well do them beforehand (or you could just cheat it in later if you missed it).

Much thanks to the original dev for providing a list of these. I don't think I'd ever get code 8 without it.

The iron mine doesn't seem to be working. I've got 100 machines saying I should gain 18 iron per minute, but nothing happens.

Kudos for revamping an old game!
I hadn't played the original so after finishing this one, I thought I'd give it a try. Wow, those are some really nice QoLs you added! Plenty of places you could work on if you wanted to make this more engaging, I had a few thoughts while playing.

Smaller ideas:
Some kind of separator in the bars/pizzas numbers, even a space would be better than nothing.
Invisibility potions - Need some use beyond the single fight you do once. Perhaps something like a 50% chance for the enemy to miss for a few seconds?
Either rename "poison potion" to "fire potion" or change the effect to a DoT, I wasn't sure they were working until I checked the potion page.
Nerf the gambler's potion. When you have like 1,000 max health it's so much better to use that when you're low instead of a health potion (couple with the invulnerability skill in case you roll badly, then you'll have time to use another potion). Maybe change it to a randomised health potion (e.g. between 1-100 health) or have a chance to gain or lose health (e.g. +200/-50)?
Some more skills? e.g. Berserk - double attack speed for X seconds, Vampirism/Absorption - Heal when attacking/Absorb damage for X seconds...
Is there a disc you can put in the computer? I never found one if so. Also slightly confused by the point of the button that BSoD's the PC but it is funny.

Much more involved ideas:
Improve on the Nether section by adding a fortress and the ability to buy a netherite sword/netherite armour (or make it). Could also be a place for different potion ingredients for more types of potions.
A use for the castle after you beat the zombie king. Maybe you could spend gold and iron bars to renovate various rooms in the castle, which would give you certain bonuses?
Maybe stick with the Minecraft theme a bit more and add The End after the Nether. After The End, you go to the castle in the sky and finish with the current ending?

I'm stuck on code 8.

haven't played this game much yet, but it feels quite similar to candy box. seems interesting, will play more
