Dude, I'm not against going
au naturel, but it feels like it should be in a different place.
FYI, the operator being used is incorrect in parts of the script, resetting all progress for characters' stats.
The code should have precisely the opposite of what is shown above. I've noticed this mistake happens several times
just in this latest release. The above entirely resets the value of the stat, rather than increasing it. The dev probably should go back through
all of the code and make sure the operator is what they actually want.
INCORRECT: =+
or =-
CORRECT: +=
or -=
Any later checks about a stat being at a certain level or higher (or lower) are pretty likely to fail with how things are right now.
