📝 TLDR
Contracts working - Price bounding removed
Upgrades like Boom-o-nomics and Artillery Arbitrage were coded to raise a weapon’s price up to the next tier’s value - but if they exceeded it, the system snapped the price back down.
This made contract price buffs vanish instantly.
This wasn’t technically a bug… just a bad design. This is now fully removed and Contract buffs are working properly. Our bad guys. 😅
Click-and-hold is now much faster, scaling with prestige tiers. By Tier 5, it auto-clicks as fast as the engine can possibly process.
Computerized Trading Stock perk should work much better now 🙂
🔺 Buffs
Computerized Trading now continues running until the perk is actually lost.
Previously, it would shut itself off whenever no stocks were available and required a manual “restart.”
Computerized Trading no longer affects IDLE or AFK stocks.
This prevents accidental loss of Goldenes/Fear when those stocks were purchased automatically.
Weapon sell prices should scale almost infinitely with Contracts, now that other upgrades aren't removing their affects.
Major click-and-hold speed increase, with smoother scaling across prestiges.
Boom-o-nomics and Artillery Arbitrage both received:
+5% higher weapon price caps
Faster ramp-up to reach their maximum bonus values
The Related Products stock upgrade no longer decreases Ammo prices during privatization.
🔻 Nerfs
Stock dividends now accrue every 1.5s (previously 1.25s).
After Privatization 9, stock dividends now apply a slightly stronger decay for better late-game balance.
Contract buffs now give 5%–25% (previously 5%–40%) to reduce extreme spikes.
Computerized Trading was slowed down by 50%
Old: Every 30s base speed, increaseing up to 5s/2.5s (with perks)
New: Every 45s base speed, increaseing up to 10s/5s (with perks)
