Excellent game so far!

Notes:

Processing skill description claims it improves efficiency but not in any way I noticed except speed (which is mentioned separately), conversion rate and quantity stays fixed (10:1 or 1:10) as levels increase
At the processors, you can do a "big insert" which doesn't seem to do much
Processing is probably the weakest mechanic currently (mashing / holding a button and doing nothing else)
Hidden-floating-point item quantities were sometimes confusing - if a vendor requested 260 sand, sometimes making exactly 260 sand was not sufficient
At some point I managed to turn on the light a bit without clearing shiny objects, but couldn't reproduce this again
Haven't found the second "fog" card or even what it is about, not sure I ever encountered it at all
Haven't found a use for clapping but appreciate the feature either way
The first time I lost all HP I thought the light part of the right side of the health bar was a crack (to indicate max HP was reduced, like is Hollow Knight etc.) but it's actually a spinning gear in the background

Thank you very much for al the detailed feedback!

You're right, I was supposed to make processing give more items as you leveled it up but I can see from the code I forgot to add it in.
"big [adjective]" is a sorta catchall right now for charged hits, idea was that various charged variants of each interaction have a sorta larger/stronger effect, but I still havent added many of them in yet.
Processing is overall a bit weak right now, I didn't have much time to polish it, but I definitely want to make it feel more interesting/fun, or at least not tedious, for the next update.
Another player pointed out the float rounding issue as well, I'll definitely fix that as well.
Good catch on the fog and rare resources! Haven't seen anyone manage that before, I'll need to look into how to reproduce that.
The second fog card works, but it might be a bit unclear. Two of the entities you can encounter in the fog look very similar on the surface. I'll look into adding some sort of card hints/tips ingame or seeing if I can make the entities a bit more distinct.
Clapping right now has two uses: 1. for a puzzle in the terrarium (it's probably not much of a spoiler) 2. getting attention of things you don't want the attention of... I mostly added it in for the 1st but realized potential for a lot of other things as well I've yet to add in, not to mention people seem to like it!
I'll have a look if I can improve that a bit, I think stuff like health bars should not be visually noisy/confusing after all.
