Under Tower Idle – Economy & Production Update
Hello everyone!
This update focuses on improving the game's economy, streamlining production chains, and making resource management more enjoyable. We've also included several quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes to make the overall gameplay experience smoother.
⚒️ Production & Economy
Production Cost Rebalance
We've adjusted the production costs of a number of buildings and crafting chains to eliminate progression bottlenecks and create a smoother gameplay flow.
These changes should make advancing through the production tree feel much more natural, especially during the mid-game.

Reduced sell prices to make trading a more strategic decision rather than the primary source of progression.
🛒 Market Improvements
Managing large amounts of resources is now much easier.
Added a Sell x1000 button.
Added a custom quantity input, allowing you to enter the exact amount you want to buy or sell.
Improved button colors throughout the Market window for better readability and consistency.
⚔️ Dungeon Improvements
Dungeon logistics have been significantly improved.
Increased the movement speed of soldiers traveling to and from the Dungeon.
Increased the deployment speed and spawn rate of soldiers leaving the Tavern.
Fixed an issue where different soldier icons could overlap in the Dungeon UI.
Added a new Current Loot panel to the Dungeon interface, allowing you to easily track the rewards you've earned during your run.
📦 Production Panel Improvements
The Production Panel has been redesigned for better organization.
Production is now grouped by individual production stations.
You can monitor each station separately or continue viewing everything from a single overview.
Stations that are currently being repaired are now clearly indicated within the Production Panel.
🐞 Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where resource nodes on islands could occasionally become unclickable.
Various stability improvements and minor bug fixes.
