Blacksmith Master News

First of all, thank you so much for reporting all bugs in such a detail. It helped me so much fix a bunch of them, here is the list below :)

- Fixed problem where "Start new day" button wouldn't show up
- Fixed problem where blacksmiths wouldn't prioritize crafting jewelry properly
- Changed mastery tree unlock sound
- Stairs now have red outline if they have an error
- Fixed some pathfinding issues
- Fixed some instances where blacksmiths and assistants would get stuck

Steam reviews are the most useful way to share what’s working and what needs attention with me. They help prioritize fixes, guide new features, and give a clearer picture of how the game’s doing. If you’ve had time with the game, writing a review directly helps me and Blacksmith Master a lot!
