This game needs an update

[Huang]

I think, I will stop playing now, since the grind is simply unbearable.
I grinded out the level 23 of Scruffy which took me around a month of ~three runs daily.
I am gridlocked in the 330 zones with HZE336 desolation 17/25. The last level of desolation was simply painful. Achievements are done and C2/C3 are as farmed out as it gets (a bit below 60k% though).
I am grinding SA 121 for ring 48 upgrade and here we are talking about ~440h farming.

I am fed up, because I cant buy ~68 coordinatation upgrades and there is no realistic possibility to drastically improve my population. I could buy one more scaffolding level (13->14 = ~140h), but this would result in 1 or 2 additional coordinate upgrades.

A small update could rectify a lot of this endgame grind:
- population boost from "expansion"-perk should be increased from 0.01% to 0.1%. That would mean at Expansion level 18 (+1.8% population boost) a 2.2% max population increase per Tauntimp (up from 0.4% / 0.58%)
The Target would be to drastically increase population max and make the (68) coordination upgrades accessible. Hopefully this would lead to a max increase of more than only x10/x100/x1000 in direction of +e6 or +e10.

- Observation is capped at level 50, seemingly something which is not mentioned in the tooltip. The cap should be increased to 55-60 to increase the maximum damage buff via Runetrinkets. To make the new maxlevel "accessible", Radon cost per level could be slightly decreased 10-25%.

- Masterfulness is simply to expensive for its impact. Target of a change should be a reachable level between 15 to 20 (instead of below 10).

- The usefulness of heirlooms compared to their effect in endgame is infuriatingly small. What sense does it make to farm for weeks for another <10% damage increase.

- Mutators exponent should be reduced from 2 to 1.8 which would massively reduce the farming time and make the last quadrant realistically accessible.

- For final Scruffy updates I would wish for more liquify levels and a tenacity timer reduction.

What do I hope for with these proposed modifications?
More population would result in more resource income, result in more building levels, result in more equipment levels to be accessible (buyable), more Antenna levels, which results in a higher damage output which in turn means higher HZE and higher Radon output and higher Scruff exp / run.

Also I hope that these modifications would not take so much time to implement compared to new features.

Thanks. I hope for any update though.

Hello, there.

Couple of things before we jump into it Do you know about the SA guide and how much Radon do you have.

1. I would strongly recommend maxing out your c2, the compounding benefits really add up.

2. I would also just Push the spire assault again the stats help a lot and the bonus you get from Dusty Tome usually outweigh the time you lose farming

3. Are you using Custom Gold setup
