Crypto Miner OS Rework
The Bitcoin-earning mechanism has been refined. Instead of gaining 1 Bitcoin per move, players now earn double Bitcoin from Bitcoin files. However, this comes with increased risk: getting these files will now trigger 1.5x the System Alert. This change encourages more strategic file picking, making suppression files more valuable than ever. Players can get rich faster, but must be more cautious.
Middle Man OS Enhancements
The Middle Man OS now provides gateway directions across the network. Unlike the 'scan' side command, Middle Man passive ability is always active and doesn't incur any System Alert cost. The ability to restore System Alert when visiting the home node remains unchanged.
Suppression Command Balancing
The 'suppress' side command has been adjusted to prevent potential exploit strategies. While the initial execution cost remains 10 Bitcoins, the cost will now incrementally increase with each use within the same network. Connecting through a gateway will reset the cost to its original value.
Cloak Command Modification
The 'cloak' command no longer prevents System Alerts triggered by self-re-execution or other side commands, including the 'sweep' command from Hacky OS Beta.
Add Requested Command Alias
In response to player feedback, we've added and corrected the 'cd ..' command (with a space) as alternative command to 'back', which was previously mistakenly implemented as 'cd..' (without a space).
These changes aim to create a more balanced and strategic gameplay and more pleasure experience. Thank you for all of your feedback. Enjoy the update!
