Logger Rhythms changelog

0.014
+ Added new tool & camp upgrades for current late game, and tweaked several upgrades a bit.
+ Tweaked grove and forest scale upward -- each higher-level land slot represents a bigger number of trees now, which means
 	growing and chopping will take proportionally longer but yield proportionally more logs.
 	This will actually translate to a big increase in productivity on grove and forest levels in practice, as time lost to transit
 	from site to site is the biggest impediment currently to production, and the faster a worker gets done
 	with a job, the sooner they're killing time walking again.  For now this comes without an increase in the
 	cost of land, which is another productivity freebie, but it may become necessary to rebalance that in the
 	future if it's too much of a gift.

0.013
+ Added Scientists as a new buyable commodity type.  Unlike cutters and growers, they just hang out in camp, doing
	R&D at their little lab.  Each scientist produces a research units constantly.  Eventually there will be
	upgrades for scientist production and science lab sophistication, but for now these are just basic geeks.
+ Added tech ladder to the game, under Research tab; techs are like upgrades, with some notable differences:
	- any given tech will generally be more powerful than the average upgrade, but for each tech tier you can only
		choose *one* of the available techs, and you're stuck with it, so choose carefully!
	- instead of paying money for techs, they're free but only once your scientists have accumulated enough
		research units to unlock a given tier.
	There will be a lot more tech tiers eventually, but these are in place now as proofs of concept.
+ Added tabbed menu navigation to sidebar stuff, as there's a lot more total data to display now including
	the tech tree.  Moved owned upgrades and stats block to the STATS menu; upgrades available for purchase will 
	appear above the standard buyable on the BUY menu; the MENU menu is currently a terse mess.  All of this will
	get cleaned up eventually but for now I'm just getting the framework in place.
+ Aggressively reworked the save system to try and make it a lot more future-proof.  Made every effort to maintain
	import capability for older save files, but it's not impossible this will break something subtle or not so
	subtle in save files.  If your game is fucked, wipe save and restart.  There's still a lot of zeroes in 
	the version number, mea culpa.
+ It's supposed to be spelled "Forepersons", not "Gorepersons".  Latter has to wait until the Hellraiser DLC.
+ Here is a tiny picture of Captain Picard: http://mlkshk.com/p/YZUP

0.012
+ Added third level laborers to make Forests reasonable, new sawmill and tagsale as well
+ "trees" is no longer misspelled "grees" in two places
+ tweaked save code to suprress a mess of messages for already-purchased upgrades on game load

0.011
+ Game is officially now "Logger Rhythms".  Farewell, Lumberjill; you were a good codename.
+ New upgrade type: natural growth bonus!  Trees not currently attended to by a grower will grow faster.
+ Added deposit button and bank account balance and maximum to keep "never spend any money" from becoming the dominant
	playstyle; now there's a benefit to spending money to fill your bank account and gather interest on that, but money
	beyond that should be spent as per usual.
+ Started reworked save game code to get away from problems of storing config data that we don't want to have persist
	across save games.  Upgrades should now track availability but not definition stuff like name, cost, callback functions, etc.
	In theory this will not break anything.  In theory.

0.010
+ Added the (piggy) bank! Players can now (once they're monied enough to afford it) buy a bank and earn
	interest on their current cash holdings.
+ added toUnlock() function to upgrade definitions to consolidate conditionals that had been living
	in separate function; updateAvailableUpgrades now simply iterates through upgrades and checks
	for a .toUnlock member and executes it if found
+ Consolidated various inline $("#foo").html calls scattered around functions into standardized
	updatePageCash() and updatePageBuyables() functions for cleanliness and abstraction
+ Consolidated buyWorker()/sellWorker() type functions for cutter, growers, trees, and shops into 
	buyBuyable("type") and sellBuyable("type") functions 
+ Reworked levelUpTree stuff a bit to bring more in line with analogous Worker functions
+ Bugfix: improveTree() now correctsly credits growers only for the amount of fractional tree growing
	they *did*, not the amount they *could* have done if the sapling weren't already mostly fully grown;
	also correctly applies natural growth to a sapling after and in *addition* to grower work, not
	in lieu of.
+ commafication of numbers now applied to upgrade tooltip costs as well
+ added autosave toggle in case you really want to not be autosaving for some reason

0.009
+ large numeric strings now have helpful commas for readability
+ cleaned up drawing code a little bit to make it easy to split drawing routines across multiple functions
        without breaking anything
+ added a few more upgrades for worker tools and speed and shop throughput/prices

0.008a
+ Added Golden Saw Mill upgrade to make it at all possible to keep up with heightened log production with Groves
	and Forepersons/Grovers.  Also cut down growth coefficient for shop prices because that was just
	totally nutso.

0.008
+ Manually call "toggleBuyable()" after every purchase and new upgrade availability refresh to avoid lag/pop
+ Added ability to sell buyables -- trees, workers, shops -- at a steep loss defined by Game.stats.recoup_rate.
        Current starting default is 0.25 of purchase price; should add upgrades related to this, possibly triggered
        primarily by reaching thresholds of cash gotten from selling stuff back.  (Pumping said stats early by
        unnecessary buy/sell binges would be a costly proposition in terms of opportunity cost.)
+ Built out level up systems for cutter and growers; added upgrades for level 2 of each, Forepersons and
	Grovers, who work ten times as fast as the standard worker types

0.007
+ added experimental save game functionality!  Uses localStorage, won't work on sufficiently old browsers,
	if it fails will probably do so silently, no export/import yet, and it will undoubtedly be a
	source of profound heartbreak at some point.
+ added a message buffer for game messages, which persists in the save file, so you won't miss the
	currently terse and cryptic upgrade-related announcements in the game.
+ reworked management of worker list and tree list to pass actual objects around instead of assuming
        that w.ID and t.ID would magically continue to match up to array indexes in those lists.
        Should be able to delete random workers now without causing a goddam meltdown, hopefully.
+ moved all globals variables into the Game.* object heirarchy like a grownup
+ cleaned up leveling code for trees; added third level, forests, for the supremely patient and/or console hackers
+ added female arborists to complement female lumberjacks.  

0.006
+ page layout should now respond better to narrow screens 
+ opacity fading on buyables and upgrades to indicated affordability at a glance 
+ page title now says BUY A TREE! when you can afford at least one, "logging..." the rest of the time 
+ Lumberjills are now in the mix! 
+ Added stats for the last minute of gameplay on a rolling average 
+ Nerfed the sawmill, because I've always wanted to nerf something 
+ Buffed the affordability of groves massively through the power of math 

0.005:
+ Several more upgrades! There's like 10 now.
+ Maximum tree limit! But that's a good thing, because...
+ Something new happens when you hit a hundred trees!
+ Hey, look, some more graphics!

0.001 - 0.004
+ caught a bunch of tiny lumberjacks and arborists in a jar and jammed them into my web browser
