Update 3.0 - Rebirth Expansion, Crew Promotions & Rehire

New Free Codes!

• Update3.0 - gives 10 Eggs - expires after 31.12.26

New

• Rebirth Expansion

  • New infinite upgrades in the Rebirth Shop - no cap, and each level multiplies your bonus instead of just adding to it, so they keep paying off forever

  • New upgrades to start each rebirth with boats, zones, and buildings already unlocked - buy more levels to start even further ahead

  • Max rebirth is now 50

  • New upgrade to start each rebirth with your crew already unlocked across all squads

  • New upgrades that boost offered-crew bonuses and pet abilities

  • New Rebirth Shop upgrades that pay out currency - buy them again for more, with the price rising each time

• Crew rework - your crew now sticks around after a rebirth instead of getting wiped

  • After a rebirth you rehire your crew for Gold once you have boat space

  • New promotion feature (after your first rebirth) - promote a crewmate up a star tier for Gold, keeping their luck

  • New rehire panel showing the cost, with warnings when your boat is full or you can't afford it

  • New info popup after rebirth explaining how rehiring and promotion work

  • New star display showing each crewmate's stars and tier color

  • Crew cards show a "Needs Rehire" tag while they wait

• Escape and the back button now work across the game

  • Skip the Ascension animation

  • Close the top popup

  • Step back through Tasks, Daily Quests, Holiday Tasks, Trader, Medal Shop, and Fishing Contest - closes inner popups first, then the window

• Pets

  • The Pets button now shows how much Pet Food you have

  • The "bond ready" popup now takes you straight to that pet in Pet Management

  • No duplicate pets on your first 3 opened eggs

• Important notices now show cleanly when you log in

• The Excavation auto-play robot button now glows until you first use it

Changed

• Balance & pacing

  • Totems now give a lot more Amber (50 -> 500 per 10 totems)

  • Reworked how your banked Gold boosts income - it ramps up then levels off, so late rebirths stay meaningful

  • Prices now climb a bit each rebirth so progress stays paced instead of getting trivial

  • Tuned how much prices inflate across rebirths (R2 and up)

  • Rebalanced building prices - earlier ones cheaper, later ones pricier

  • Rebalanced crew hiring and ad prices across all tiers

• Lowered the Excavation achievement requirements a lot (to be fairer to players)

  • The top tiers had crept way too high - even dedicated players were facing a wall, so we brought them back down to sensible amounts

  • If you're already past a new requirement, those achievements unlock automatically next time you log in

  • Before -> after:

    • Total tools used: 1,000,000 -> 350,000

    • Tiles dug: 1,000,000 -> 500,000

    • Total rewards found: 100,000 -> 17,500

    • Fossils found: 45,000 -> 10,000

    • Stages completed: 17,500 -> 4,000

    • Rainbow rewards found: 2,500 -> 500

    • Chisel uses: 300,000 -> 250,000

    • Shovel uses: 200,000 -> 60,000

    • Bomb uses: 70,000 -> 15,000

    • Scanner uses: 5,000 -> 1,000

• Save changes for veteran players (rebirth 6+)

  • If you're past rebirth 6, your save is rewound to the start of rebirth 6, and we're giving Gems and Eggs to make up for it (more the further you were)

  • Rebirth Shop infinite totems (Silver Per Second / Gold / Fish Value) are reset for everyone

• Camera

  • Getting a new boat now frames the boat nicely instead of jumping to your crew

  • Better default framing per boat so your character and catch circle stay visible, including on mobile landscape

  • New setting - "Auto Reposition Camera on New Boat" (with a heads-up if you turn it off)

  • Improved camera positioning in the fishing contest

  • Smoother mouse-wheel zoom and a bit more room to pan sideways

• Buildings

  • You can always afford your first building right after a rebirth now

  • Buying buildings is smoother now

  • T1 upgrade prices now climb with rebirths too

• Ascension

  • Clearer info on the Ascension screen about the Silver Per Second bonus from your Gold - it now tells you when it's maxed or capped

  • The Gold reward stands out more when there's no Silver Per Second bonus left to gain

• Cleaner numbers

  • Building, upgrade, crew, and Trader prices now show clean, rounded numbers instead of messy ones

  • Achievement goal numbers now show smaller targets in full - Ex: 2,000 instead of shortened forms like 2K or 2e3 - so they read clearly on any number notation setting

• Crew

  • Removing a crewmate now jumps to the next one in the list instead of back to the top

  • Rehired crewmates go to the bottom of your squad

• Languages

  • Cleaned up the Gems currency name in several non-English languages - clearer, punchier wording that fits the diamond icon, now consistent across the currency, shop, and bundles

  • Hebrew and other right-to-left languages aren't auto-picked at startup anymore, but you can still choose them

Fixed

• Fixed a crash when a currency got extremely large

• Fixed lower-tier crewmates sometimes rolling better bonuses than higher tiers

• Fixed Amber rewards from kept legendary upgrades being way off after a rebirth

• Fixed offline codes with no expiration date not redeeming

• Fixed codes sharing a start with event codes (like "easteregg") not redeeming

• Fixed promoted crew bonuses not applying until you made another crew change

• Fixed the second "improve offered crew bonus" upgrade not working on the second bonus

• Fixed crew waiting to be rehired still counting toward your income estimate

• Fixed pets not updating your stats right away when equipped, unequipped, or upgraded

• Fixed the mobile offline-income popup overlapping login notices

• Fixed opening two dialogs at once breaking their buttons

• Fixed the ascension tree's requirement lines not hiding when scrolled off-screen
