Battle Changes
Battles are now turn-based instead of being a button-mash simulator. You can now fight multiple monsters back to back with each giving different rewards (money, minerals, chests). Equips work more like Super Miners and are granted from Battle Chests which you can find in the world, in battles, or by purchasing in the shop. You can now have multiple of the same equip and can scrap them to get Weapon scrap which you can use to upgrade your slots or the equips themselves. There are also two new battle consumables: one that heals you by 20% during a fight, and one that lets you draw cards from your discard. Several battle relics have been adjusted to work with the new system.
Gem Forge changes
You can now dedicate workload to gems and they will automatically craft. The higher the workload the less time it takes for them to craft. Gems are now used for upgrades instead of equips. Gem Upgrades increase your health, max energy, energy regen, max cards in hand, and card draw per turn for battles.
Extended Titan
Titan has now been extended to its final depth of 750km and now has a trading post. There have also been significant balance adjustments to the price scaling and strength of the existing drills. You may find that you are able to skip a few tiers if you have been saving for a long time.
Scientists changes
The scientists now have a new scrollable UI. You can now view all your active scientists in a single window organized by progress, with completed excavations at the top, followed by inactive scientists and ongoing excavations. There is also a new relic scrap system, which can be used to trade for additional relics. Relics can be scrapped from the inventory window, or when discarding them at the end of an excavation. In addition to those changes, resurrecting scientists will now also grant you the excavation reward!
