once again a really good update! only 2 things i will say are
1: since the villagers are immortal (or maybe the heatray just doesn't reach them idk) the tripods just get stuck trying to hit them for a couple seconds then just walk away
2: this isn't really a bug but considering I wanna try supporting this project as it seems cool, do you want a new logo? I'm a (okayish) artist and can make a better one for you if you want! (for free btw I forgot to put that lol)
Anyway once again hope more people find this project and make sure to never give up.
