Endless mode stops spawning secret merchant after some time

[Imadonai]

At some point - possibly related to luck being in thousands, due to all the chests that drop every night and pump the stat related to that - the map is littered with pick-ups, upgrades, those towers that drops orbs, sconces and regular merchants, but even if zooming with light speed through it all, no secret merchants can be found. Depending on how the "early game" goes, it often means the run is doomed to be useless, since currency is meaningless at this point and I have way more shining coins than I possibly could spend (due to merchants not spawning in "late game"). The chest spam that, I assume, leads to this problem is an issue itself, it massively lags the game and I had to write a ahk script to spam E to even be able to pass time while standing. Kind of painful in general.

[cookies for everyone!]

Some of us that was/is doing the meta-progress grind have already suggested to make chests like the level-up's: collecting them and then use them when we want, it would reduce the freakin "paus for 5 mins while picking up chests" and also put the control in the players hands.

And the Secret merchant also bugs out about 50-60% of the time (won't let you interact with it) so ofc you will always have more shining coins than you can use thanks to the freakin merchant being rare in the first place and then bugging out very often.

There are other problems in endless, tons of bugs, but this is def. very annoying for those of us that would have liked to finish taht grind, i myself gave up on it since i find it to be a huge waste of my time when there are so many bugs interfering and perhaps the biggest reason as to why i don't care anymore: There is no content to use the meta-progress on......

Like....what would the reason be to increase stats when im already doing 3h+ endless runs, there's nowhere to use the meta progress.
