Attention, Employees!

Management thanks you for all your valuable feedback, and has chosen to reward your efforts with a new patch.

This update focuses on interplanetary balancing, quality-of-life improvements, and bug fixes designed to improve operational efficiency.

💰 OVERTIME ACCOUNTABILITY


To help recoup increased investment costs, dying during Overtime will now incur a 50% earnings penalty.

Remember: completing your contract is the easiest way to protect your earnings.

🐛 INCREASED HOSTILE ACTIVITY


Our science team has observed an increase to bug hitpoints, and there are rumors that the Elite Floaters and Elite Exploders have acquired new special attacks, making expeditions somewhat more challenging.

Please exercise increased caution when operating under these hostile conditions.

📈 OPERATIONAL BALANCING


The rate at which upgrades are earned has been reduced optimized at extreme levels (50+).

We are confident employees will appreciate the additional challenge and the opportunity to reduce unnecessary upgrade expenditure to increase long-term shareholder value.

🗺️ NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENTS


The map has been updated to provide improved readability and optimal navigation while under threat.

🔧 ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS


Multiple smaller bug fixes, balancing adjustments, and quality-of-life improvements have also been implemented.

Thank you for continuing to submit feedback. Your reports help us identify operational inefficiencies and make Swarm Harvest a better experience for everyone.

We hope you enjoy the latest version.

Remember: Survival is optional. Profit is mandatory.
