Only put the {!} on the Forge button when the player has enough Fire Crystals to forge an item, not when there are fully heated items in the forge but they can't actually be forged.
Minor change to bottom buttons

Amen to this. The {!} annoys me so much that I avoid using my unheated items like the plague until I have enough fire crystals to justify wasting them to remove the {!}. Really we don't need any {!} on the forge past a certain point.. maybe just make it turn-offable via a menu option?
I mean I could see it being useful for newer players that don't know to heat their gear but I know exactly where my heat levels are at because roughly 4/5s of my play are dedicated towards HATRED and ANGER and BOREDOM and SADNESS as I farm for radiant fire crystals, doing the same repetitive dreams and nightmares mission over and over until my fingers bleed and I grow old, watching people around me starve and die as the environment grows corrupt with polution and famine overtakes what used to be first world countries. Then I begin to hallucinate and see majestic beings around me, as if I have friends, as if anyone would stick around for more than an hour with me besides the game masters as they try to fix the various bugs I encounter and nothing seems real any more, a copy of a copy of a copy, and none of it matters because the point has been driven home- the world is like the forge, a 90% chance of failure in spite of more promising odds, and I become that same lie.

Options I thought about:
1) Leave it as is and make ppl be cry
2) Via menus, have the ability to remove the notice entirely. This preference is set per player.
3) Add an animation to that HUD star if you have enough fire crystals to forge anything (any star level) that's ready to be forged. The outline could slowly pulse yellow to orange and back, or the star could do a little dance, and slowly get fatter/smaller/pulse constantly etc.
4) Option to have one or both of option 1 and 3 or neither. People like to track different things for different reasons.
5) Option to completely remove/restore HUD. Yes. Yeeeeeeeeeees.

Make it bigger, give it a rainbow filter, as well as a constant sound effect like the low health noise on Zelda games. I think that'll make it a lot more bearable.
I think they made it like this to mocker Players into the desire of getting it upgraded and thus Play more/ pay more.
To me, this orange Little Symbol aside the forge button lost its attention-making a long time.
It would be really cool if OOO changes it. But I would understand the politics behind if the wont do it.
