changedThe drones have been rebalanced to be stronger with early levels, but each level up is now a smaller upgrade. -Early cave duration has been extended. -The max building materials you can get from a single cave reward has been reduced to 10. -Aerial drones now provide a vision of 3 nodes, up from 2. -The Aerial and Magnetic drones have had their fuel storage reduced to make it easier to send them out, but they’ve also had their fuel consumption reduced some to keep their max distance similar to what it was before. -Healing drones fuel consumption was reduced. -Healing drones now heal 8 a tick, up from 5.
addedLevel 1 trading post on earth now has a much shorter base cooldown. -Leveling up the trading post no longer reduces duration. -Each level of the trading posts increases the duration a trade is available, but also improves the quality of the trade. -The trade reward is no longer tied to the value of the payment, resulting in much better trades.
changedTimelapse, Mineral piles, and Money bags from scientists now scale with scientist level and depth. For these excavations their duration is now based on the value of the reward. This will result in early game and early level scientists having much shorter excavations, but lower rewards and higher level scientists having longer duration but higher value rewards. The higher level your scientist gets the better conversion rate for duration to reward.
changedRelics have also had their rarities adjusted and should be more common in general besides some of the very rare ones which are unchanged. -Key of gold has been buffed to grant 5% base, 6.5% at +, 8% at ++. With a cap of 80% increased chance.
addedAdded a tutorial for crafting the Trading post. -Added a tutorial for crafting the manager. -Smoothed out progression between the golem and the underground city. -The game now starts with mineral deposits visible on the scroll bar (see metal detector changes for more information)
