Update 2.4.2

Idle Fishing · published 10 months ago · build 20904197

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

New

  • Expanded the Excavation leveling system

    • Now each Excavation level give you +30% fossil income!

    • Added levels 10, 11, 12

    • Reduced XP required to lvl up in levels 1-8, levels 9-12 requires less xp as well, the overall leveling is smoother now

    • You will be automatically credited for the XP reduced per levels for lvls 1-8

      • For example if you were lvl 8 and logged into the new update, you might be lvl 9/10/11/12 instantly

    • Because of the extra income from excavation leveling, some fossil values were changed a bit to fit the change

  • Now you can earn pickaxes inside Chest Hunts

Changed

  • Changed the 8 star goldfish pet ability to be "Bomb Tool will always hit at least 1 undug tile in Excavation"

    • I did it because with the previous ability bomb was stronger than any method of clearing the stages, now its more balanced, and still strong.

    • The bomb will still be strong, but a smart play with all tools will be more efficient(manually or with the AI)

  • Translation changes

Fixed

  • Bug where the next step for better fossil income upgrade in the Excavation shop displayed the wrong value(without pets bonus)

  • Bug where some UI didn't update sometimes in Excavation.

  • Added missing characters for the Korean language
