My Feedback
As I start a first play I will add my feedback here:

1. Full screen resolution on 4k did not go well - currencies are off screen and +/- 10% setting wasn't typical.

2. It is common early on to have 1g and not be able to buy something that costs 1g. Check for rounding issues that lead to display values.

3. When selling, qty does not update. Seems to sell the correct amount determined on hover tho.

4. Unclear why there is a switch and state checkbox. I assume later there are consuming machines that I may want to turn off, why would I want to stop raw materials and why are there two check boxes that do the same thing? Update: I see now that state disables the filling bars - I would suggest clearing them when disabled.

5. Overuse of the word num in English client. Can remove most of them and replace with the currency. For example, "requires 5 num" is not meaningful if "requires 5 gold" Further, saying "requires 5 num gold" is unnecessary

6. Hand digging Chalcopyrite is named "hand digging coal"

7. Leaderboard UI has a lot of overlap making things unreadable. There is a submit box over the top of the ranks that should be moved. It also reads "say something" which if that is meant to be a username and not a chat box that should be updated.

8. Excavator and Truck produce two different items both called A Copper Mine.

Interesting. Looks slightly different, but the devs were together in the idle game pack, so might be a collab or alias dev name.

Later in the game, it appears like several of the upgrade production purchases dont apply any bonus

There is no reward in the late game, I don't understand what you said

Can I remove your bad review?

By late game reward, are you talking about my review or something in this list?

What I was talking about being game breaking is production upgrades. For things like copper plates, you can buy a production upgrade that does not seem to actually do anything.

I will be happy to update my review when it is no longer accurate.

Just updated the game. Bought a lvl 5 battery production upgrade and production stayed the same.

Update: after switching everything off other than battery and selling all off the item I was able to confirm that at level 5 it says 100 on screen, but you do earn x5
