v1.0.0-beta.1 - Initial Beta Release (Nether Planner)

Welcome to the first beta version of the Idle Apocalypse - Nether Planner!

This is a premium, self-contained, and offline-compatible Single Page Application (SPA) companion tool designed to help players calculate, plan, and optimize their Nether resources (Orbs, Flames, Crystals, and Stars) during the game's Nether expansion.

🚀 Key Features

  • Cascading Summon Engine: Computes how many Netherlings, Demons, and Mountains you need to summon to cover target resource deficits, factoring in nested dependencies (e.g., Orbs needed for Netherlings, who drop Flames, which are used to summon Demons, who drop Crystals, which are used to summon Mountains).
  • Live Creature Drop Yields: Displays active drop rates for Netherlings, Demons, and Mountains. Sychronizes dynamically with modifier settings (Nether Pie levels 0-3, Bounty upgrade) and creature levels.
  • Target Goals Checklist: Interactive checklist categorized by Creatures, Scrolls, Doomsday Device upgrades, and Lesley's trades. Mark items as Targeted to calculate resources, or Achieved to permanently upgrade levels and hide them.
  • Progress Backup & Sync: Built-in Import/Export functions that save your checklist state into a lightweight .json backup file. You can easily transfer progress between your PC and mobile devices.
  • Offline-First & Serverless: Saves your progress automatically to the browser's localStorage on any change. The application runs completely client-side.

🛠️ Latest Updates & Mobile Optimizations

Based on initial testing and feedback, we've implemented the following visual and structural improvements:

  • Standalone Yields Panel: Extracted creature drop rates into a dedicated sidebar widget, styled with micro-animations and resource-coded neon glows (Orange for Flames, Cyan for Crystals, Yellow for Stars).
  • Quick Action Shortcuts: Added game action shortcuts to the inventory cards (e.g., -3 Orbs for Demon summon, +7 Flames for Netherling drop, -12 Crystals for Mountain summon) to easily simulate summoning and harvesting cycles.
  • Corrupted Char Fixes: Resolved character encoding rendering errors (â–² and ✓) on triggers and checkboxes by replacing them with safe HTML ASCII entities and CSS Unicode escapes (\2713 checkmark).
  • Finger-Friendly Mobile UI:
    • Configured the inventory grid to collapse into a stacked single-column layout on mobile viewports for full width.
    • Enlarged the number fields to comfortably display 3+ digits on mobile.
    • Scaled up Target/Achieved checklist buttons (min-height: 40px and wider padding) for comfortable finger tapping on touch screens.
