Fix & Balancing

Factomancer · published · build 26328547

Hello Factomancers!

Here's a small patch following our strategic view update. On the menu: time management fixes, a new inspector and a difficulty rebalance.

Time management

We improved the time management system to fix two major bugs:

  • An exploit allowed players to get nearly infinite days by placing and replacing "Crunch" relics.

  • A second exploit involved the time spell: if you cast enough of them to go past 24h, the surplus carried over to the following day.

New inspector for extractors

A brand-new inspector is available for extractors: you can now observe their behavior in depth.

Obstacles

We reviewed the configuration of all obstacles, in particular their elevation, to standardize the areas where you can (or cannot) build. The strategic view and the placement rules are now perfectly aligned. The lightning spell has also been slightly adjusted to follow these rules.

Daily objectives

Following our latest updates and feedback from our players on Discord, the game had become slightly too difficult, especially in the mid-game. We have therefore reduced the daily quotas to rebalance the difficulty.
