Update 2.5 - Excavation Expansion

Idle Fishing · published 6 months ago · build 22499714

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

New

  • 313 new Expansion upgrades, including Excavation XP Multipliers

    • You will be granted free upgrades based on your current progress

    • For example, if you had 10/20 on a fossils upgrade, after the update you'll have 25/50. If you had 20/20, you'll have 50/50

  • New excavation levels added - you will be granted free XP to match your current progress

  • Infinite upgrades for Gold, Silver, and Excavation XP Multiplier in excavation

  • New Excavation XP Multiplier bonus stat for crewmates

Changed

  • Buffed crewmate Silver per Second multiplier bonus - only takes effect for newly hired crewmates

  • Excavation shop prices were adjusted (mostly reduced) due to the shop expansion

  • Your current fossils currency was adjusted to reflect the updated shop prices

  • Fishing Speed bonus from excavation clock rewards can no longer be rainbow, as +100x fishing speed caused serious lag and looked weird

  • Improved display of very large/small numbers

  • Goldfish main ability now gives XP Multiplier instead of more fossils

Fixed

  • Some texts were not translated

  • Auto play in excavation didn't stop when the window was closed
