It's been a very busy two years, seemingly. Maybe at least mark it outdated for people who try to find resources about this suddenly very popular game? That way people don't waste their time looking for things like Mercury Ore...
Girafeman 21 Feb, 2018 @ 2:12pm 
Now it's completely outdated you should update it

Mr. Stark  [author] 21 Dec, 2016 @ 1:34pm 
Sorry for the inactivity lately, it's just I've been very busy this past year. Also, I'm right now in Hawaii for vacation and I may be busy. I might have time in the next couple days, if so then I’ll be happy to update the guide. Sorry for any inconvenience
