### Quality of Life / Aesthetic Improvements
- 0.3.0 UI Changes

- Added target framerate cap options to settings
- Added option to toggle ocean waves effect on/off for more GPU usage control
- Some Recipe Info Card data has been dialed back for clarity’s sake
- Mana Crystals have been renamed to Mana Shards, to avoid confusion with the new Tier 2 Resource Magicite
- [ ] World UI Icons have been changed to the new style; they can now be clicked on for more info, same as everywhere else
- [ ] Crafter Mana Progress Bar is now clickable and leads to the info screen for Mana Shards](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hiizqawubwhxmh35hhtuf2wo/bafkreig2i545pzat4fhkuoiff62wdklfd24gjwgzdizsh245sx7xwtoxgq)
