Thank you. I was wondering if there was a way to edit the candy values manually but I'm not savvy enough myself to figure it out. I also do think that the options on-screen once you get to the repo building are unclear. I accidentally ended the game because I did not know what to press/what option was selected. Luckily, pressing "Continue" allows you to avoid this, but it was still worrying at the time, as I thought I had lost an hour or two of progress.
Edit: It would seem that I have no idea how to load a .tres file even though I installed the Godot engine.
