*2025-02-07, version 1.3.1*

Hello there. This is a great game. I absolutely recommend checking it out. This is a message more to the devs. I have a couple of things to recommend, first of all. The army chest plate is called army pants.  make quartz sand easer to find. Add a function to make pliers. It can use 4 iron, 3 scraps, and 1 rubber. Also make the steel pickaxe easier to make. Like using 7 steel instead of 14. One more thing.  Make all tools more durable. They break way to fast. Also make energy drinks and energy bars be found in chests in the silo. Army base. And Maybe be craft-able in the filter or chemical lab.

*2024-12-11, version 1.3.1*
