You might need to rework forge...
New patch same peg abuse
Forge two outlets for a better outlet, use outlets on forge for a better forge, use better forge for better outlets... repeat
Use forge to fuse two troll faces (because if a platinum is in forge it can reappear in shop)
I feel like platinum pegs made the game much more interesting though... are you thinking of replacing it with a new system or scrapping altogether?
Managed to reach integer limit on both score and gold, addicting game 10/10
Unfortunately run ended because i tried to spawn 20 quadrillion metal balls with an egg and it crashed the game
