Good news, everyone! After last week's nerfs were disappointing for some players, I couldn't rest and worked twice as hard on the buffs that I promised — and here they finally are!
For now the update will only be live on the BETA BRANCH and only is up to date in ENGLISH. After verifying that everything works as intended and once I have the localization updates, it will continue to the main branch.
With this update I wanted to do three things:
give players more silver to make the early progression faster
make more assets viable and fun to use
make stacking more fun and rewarding across the board
Do test and let me know if the following changes get the job done in your opinion:
BALANCING
Reduced silver cost of most upgrades¹
Silver generation time changed from 20s to 15s¹
SILVER MINE cycle time changed from 30s to 20s
