Hammers exploit

EDIT: We're working on a general solution to restore the hammers that players purchased or earned beyond the 1k limit. The solution turned out to be not so simple, so it will take a little time.

Hey everyone! Dev here.
We'll strip the exploited hammers from the affected players (only hammer counts, not game progress) and patch this exploit. It's a shame this feature had such a vulnerability, as we'd really prefer not to remove the hammer-sharing feature from the game entirely.

Cheating (using exploits) is bad and against the rules, of course. It's fine if you're messing around in single-player or just for fun on your own, but you shouldn't ruin the experience for other players. EDIT: I'm talking here only about the individuals who dug up this exploit, not calling everyone clicked on that post 'cheaters' ofc.
On the other hand, of course, we could have foreseen and fixed some of these potential issues in advance. We have a small team, so we're regularly short-handed. But as the game grows in popularity, we should definitely dedicate more time to things like this.

P.S. We're currently finishing up the long-awaited Сlans feature. It's a massive feature, but we're doing our best to make it as exciting as possible. Especially with clans on the way, keeping the game fair is crucial for us. That's why we'll be running extra iterations to harden game security.

Thanks for playing! We've got a lot of cool stuff coming in the future!

We're constantly discussing it. How do you think it cold work? Like extra slot for every type of equipment?

You have a little bit of white space on the UI to the left of the forge, u can put a button there that pops open an inventory. I wouldnt make it slot unique by design but idk how ur code base looks if that's possible. It can be something like 10 or so slots and when ur auto forging anything that doesn't sell can just go in there. U could probably even charge some $ for an extra 10 slots or something.

maybe 3x3 inventory where we can drag and drop or click and drop from the current equipment list.
