Update 2.4 - Excavation Idle Auto Play, 2 different modes

Idle Fishing · published 10 months ago · build 20810672

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

New

  • Auto play for Excavation with 2 different modes

    • Random(selected tool) will randomly use the selected tool on random locations.

    • Smart will use all tools to smartly finish stages.

      • In order for the "Smart" mode to use the scanner, you need to enable the auto scanner preference.

      • While "Smart" auto play is on, rewards from excavation will be reduced by 35% to incentivize active play.

    • Will auto complete stages after 3 seconds(where you see the total rewards you earned)

      • To instantly complete it, turn the Automatically complete stages preference on.

    • Is useful for ones who want to get achievements fast.

  • New preferences

    • Show time to fill pickaxe storage now instead of the time until the next batch of pickaxes, you will see how many minutes and seconds until the pickaxe storage is full in real time.

    • Show reward popups useful in Auto Play where you don't want to get spammed by reward popups.

  • Added that if auto scanner use is on, and you didn't have the pickaxes to scan when the stage was created, it will automatically scan when you can afford it now.

  • Now you will earn away income(gold, silver, pickaxes, chest hunts) if your PC in sleep mode but the game is open

Changed

  • Reworked pet star abilities(buffed)

  • Reduced base cost of scanner by 5 pickaxes

  • The game will remember how many seconds are to the next auto-granted chest hunt, instead of resetting each time you open the game.

Fixed

  • If the game was open for multiple days, the continuous day streak statistics might reset, if it happened to you, please contact me and I'll restore your streak
