- The Balance Update you were waiting for! - 8 June 2026
Hi guys, today's update improves drastically the load/speed ratio. I've read tons of complaints about this, about how adding load to the system would bring your speed down very fast, my bad. I am here today to change that. Load will still affect your speed, but in a way more forgiving way. Here is a comparison table:Network loadOld speedNew speed0% (idle)100%100%10%100%93%20%50%86%30%33%79%40%25%72%50%20%65%60%17%58%70%14%51%80%13%44%90%11%37%100% (full)10%30%This patch should fix the "my save is gone" issue. This version of the game has a new way of saving progress to disk, should completely erase that issue. If you find it, let me know, will get back to works on it.The patch also improves the loading time of the game, should start 25%-30% faster, and if you play in window mode, the first 2 frames flicker is now gone.The game now properly supports almost any aspect ratio. You can make…

It's been 6 month since the last update, I've been hard at work, listening to all your feedback, and addressing most of it in this big content update.

- The AFK Update (9th Minor Update) - 8 December 2023
Hello everyone, this update adds afk progress for ascension points and chests. Chests Chests will have no limit and can be 100% opened while away, so once you return you can just claim its reward. Ascension Points For the ascension points this limit is tight with the ascension upgreades regarding afk time. Welcome Back Screen Also everytime you come back to the game a new screen will have a summary of what you've earned while away. Other changes and additions This update also adds: New advanced setting option to remove zoom on chain delete New advanced setting to change autosave frequency Minigame gears will not activate/work if they are disabled by a switch Smaller bug fixes. That's all for now, hope you like this update!
- 8th Minor Update - 29 November 2023
This update should fix the game not appearing on the taskbar after launching and switching to another window/app. Manufacturers will now not apply load once they are done crafting momma gears + some visual improvements to them. Quick small update. Next update will rework afk progress of the game... The idea I have right now for this future update is that chests will still countdown when the game is closed, and you will also get 5% of your money and ascension production by default, which will be upgradeable with ascension points. These afk upgrades will also affect your ascension points. Hope this sounds good, open to suggestions, let me know what you think in the comments of this update!
- 7th Minor Update - 28 November 2023
After some beta testing, update 7 is back, here is the change list: Added stats window Added optimization/advanced settings menu (numbers for minigames now need to be activated in this menu) Fixed chest connection hitbox Fixed AFK giving less money than real values Fixed money generators torque ascension bug Improvements to the resolution selection tab You can now tweak settings in the new "advanced settings" menu to make the game less taxing on your system, will probably add even more options in the future, as always let me know what you think! That is all for now, I hope you like it!
