⚖️ Patch v0.1.4 — Balance, Variations & Polish
Another round of fixes and improvements based on your reports. Every message gets read — keep them coming.
⚖️ Balance Changes
Ancestral Knowledge Soft Cap Base AK now has diminishing returns past 15 points — half rate beyond that threshold. Still rewarding for long runs, but no longer trivially maxed in a handful of speed prestiges.
Veteran Multiplier Capped The veteran prestige multiplier now caps at 5.0x (plateaus around prestige 27). No more runaway scaling.
Converter Batch Limits Batch sizes are now gated by worker count — assigning zero workers to production rooms while running max batch conversions is no longer possible.
Mercenary Rebalance Squad sizes reduced to 3/8/15 workers (down from 5/15/25). Duration shortened from 5 minutes to 3 minutes.
🎨 Visual Variations
Dwarves Mining dwarves now have distinct appearances — different outfit colors, beard styles, body types, helmets, and accessories like aprons and pauldrons. No two dwarves look alike.
Runic Warriors Warriors during Troll and Dragon events now sport varied weapons (swords, axes, hammers), shields, helmets, and outfit colors.
🔧 UI Polish
- Early Access disclaimer repositioned and resized for better readability
- Welcome Back popup now properly centered on screen
🐛 Bug Fix
- Fixed auto-prestige not applying the veteran multiplier — was silently giving fewer AK than shown in the preview
Thank you for your patience and your reports. Keep digging. ⛏️
