Generator Synergies

Generators now boost each other. A new upgrade type ties generators together - own more of one, the other gets stronger. 10 synergy upgrades across all tiers. Strategic depth, or at least the illusion of it.

  • Cursors scale with Download Managers and vice versa

  • Late-game synergies get up to 5% per owned source generator

  • Bonuses update dynamically as you buy more

  • Found in the Generators tab. I didn't make a whole new tab for 10 items.

Achievement Rewards

Every achievement now does something. Small permanent bonuses that persist across prestiges.

  • All 63 achievements grant rewards

  • Bonus types: all income, click power, download speed, file value, tape gain, crit chance, HDD capacity

  • Harder achievements give bigger bonuses. Obviously.

  • Check the new Achievement Bonuses section in the Stats panel

More Events

The event pool has more than doubled. Runs should feel less repetitive. Should.

  • 7 new positive events (CDN Cache, Solar Flare, and friends)

  • 7 new negative events (your cat chews cables now)

  • 12 new neutral events (cookie notices, CAPTCHA existential crises, etc.)

  • 6 new challenges including bytes-earned challenges

  • 59 total events, up from 27

New Mini-Game

There's a new tab. Something to do with suspicious files. Quarantine the bad ones for bonus bytes, but click a clean one and it'll cost you. Builds streak for bigger multipliers.

  • Unlocks after enough downloads. You'll know when.

  • 30 second rounds, 5 minute cooldown

  • Streak multiplier up to 5x for consecutive correct quarantines

  • Good performance grants a temporary speed boost

  • Tab shows "???" until unlocked. Don't worry about it.

Other

  • Save version updated. Old saves load fine.
