You gave your feedback and we listened! The number one negative feedback so far has been how big of a setback doing your first Reality Shatter is. To fix this, we have changed the reset to preserve the Drone Hub and the Quarry Foreman. The Drone Hub will still have its upgrade levels reset, but the Quarry Foreman will have all its upgrade levels retained so that you won't lose any of the automation you built up! Another common piece of negative feedback has been that the prestige upgrades weren't powerful enough at first, so they are getting a buff!

Reality Shatter Changes
- Drone Hub now stays unlocked across Reality Shatter, and your configured drone rules are preserved; Drone upgrade levels still reset, but Drone Core earnings resume immediately instead of requiring the Quartz upgrade
- Quarry Foreman now fully persists across Reality Shatter, retaining all upgrade levels and automation settings
- Removed the Persistent Hub, Persistent Foreman, and Foreman Memory Reality Shatter upgrades since they are now redundant
- If you have already done at least one Reality Shatter before this update, your Drone Hub and Quarry Foreman will be re-unlocked on load. Unfortunately, upgrade levels lost in prior resets cannot be restored
General Improvements
- Added confirmation popups for World Fracture and Reality Shatter
- In the Quarry Stats tab, you can now hover any rock icon to view that layer's base stats, no need to hover a rock in the quarry first
- Removed the colossal 1000 hour achievement
Balancing
- Buffed Fractured Mind and Geologist's Insight World Fracture upgrades from x1.5 to x2 per level
- Buffed Fractured Mind Mk. II and Geologist's Insight Mk. II Reality Shatter upgrades from x2 to x3 per level
- Buffed the Primal rock layer multipliers from x1.3 to x1.5 per level
- Increased health and hardness on the deeper rock layers (Gold through Chronite) to preserve the depth of the Reality Shatter upgrade system alongside the buffed prestige upgrades
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where some drone priorities were not working properly
