The wiki launches in English and Japanese, checked against version 1.0.1, the official notes, the developer's forum replies and full recorded runs.

From shift 9 on every shift costs 1 sextillion ($1Sx), or less with Market Maker, so the last prestige nodes are reachable after the ending. Adds a Readable Font option, reworks colorblind mode to swap colours, and fixes overlapping Vietnamese and Thai text.
