Hi all,
Today's patch focused on giving the three purchasable stats in Idle Mode new formulas that were exponential curves rather than linear curves. This is to help control the pacing of an ant farm so that you get to play any individual farm for a suitable amount of time, since it's supposed to be a good experience to vibe in the background with.
These new formulas make the early stages of a farm quicker, but the later stages slower. Mostly, it puts an amount of control on the re-worked Strength stat which went live earlier than I wanted. And I enjoy how the stat works, but it was far too cheap for what it accomplished. Leading to the ability to clear farms far to quickly.
The patch notes are very small, but the re-tooling should be fairly noticeable. Happy digging! Please leave any feedback as you hang out with your ant farms, here or in the discussion boards. And leave a review if you want. Anything helps the game grow and expand and become the best ant farm vibe.
