Update V13: Balancing Every Day
Thank you for playing, and for every review, good or bad. Many of you told us the orders felt like a grind and that money ran out too fast.We were ready for exactly this. Gameplay stats show us where runs slow down and which orders take too long, and we are using them to balance the game step by step.Finding that perfect spot will take a little while, so expect updates almost every day for the next few days. V13 is the first big step.Hay sells for 25% more.Bales, eco bricks, slabs, discs and sacks sell for about 69% more.Stage 1 buyers want twice as much: 40 wrapped bales and 8 panels a minute.Panel Press plans: $400 (was $800).Platforms: $5 a square metre (was $10). Glass: $8.Loose hay now has its own buyers. They pay full price up to 6,000 strands a minute and a bit less after that, so a giant rake farm no longer earns more than every machine. Hay pressed into a product still pays in full.Every order now pays what its goods would sell for. Loading the truck is never worse than selling.Orders ask for about 40% less:Straw Panels: 25 (was 40)Wrapped Bales: 70 (was 120)The Dairy: 200 bales and 200 wrapped bales (was 480 and 520)Eco Bricks: 300 (was 480)Rods and Gears: 120 and 40 (was 190 and 70)Pulp: 325 (was 540)Paper: 115 (was 195)First Bales still asks for 20, and you need the same needles as before.Your first compressor and its plans are now free. You get them with the order book.Belt, arm, compressor and wrapper speed now have 3 free levels (was 2).Level 4 opens with Straw Panels for belts and arms, and with Wrapped Bales for the compressor and wrapper. The levels after that also open one order sooner.Extend the Shed now opens at Straw Panels, the Dairy and the Garden Centre.The Depot Drone now opens with Wrapped Bales, before the Dairy.TAKE ONE and TAKE MAX let you take stock out of the Depot by hand.EMPTY OUT sends one kind of item, or everything, back out onto the belt.New card, Shelf Limits ($600): set how many of each item the Depot keeps.Carry More has 2 new levels, so you can hold up to 7 in your arms.A Depot with no belt after it now drops what it can't hold, the same as the end of any belt. It no longer sells it.A new UPGRADE tab on each machine lists its tech cards and takes you straight to them.Machines now show SHORT OF POWER when your power can't keep up.The Biogas Digester now tells you when it burns bales faster than they arrive.The vacuum no longer keeps popping out scrap.Switching from a joiner to a belt now keeps grid snapping on.Fixed a crash that could happen during loading.All 16 languages are up to date.Thank you for sticking with us.
