Bring back the extra income from support temples in CHIMPS.
On 23 September 2023, MackanRules uploaded this video showcasing the highest round ever reached in CHIMPS mode. He was able to achieve this by using a bug where a sun temple with Support sacrifices gave extra income for bloons popped in its radius. With this bug, Mackan was able to build many sun temples, a true sun god, paragons, and many more towers.

However, on 9 October 2023, update 39 dropped, and in it came one devastating change:
"4xx Super Monkey can no longer increase cash value of Bloons in CHIMPS"
A few days after Mackan's video went up, the bug was fixed. The chances of this being
a coincidence is unlkely.

So why should this bug be reintroduced? Here is my reasoning:

For one, sun temples are impossible to get in a normal game of chimps. In Mackan's video, he got his first sun temple on round 108, which is after the final round of chimps, round 100. He made sure to have the perfect amount of sacrifices so that he met the threshold without wasting much money. By surviving with $1,010 worth of towers in the Military category, $25,050 worth of Support towers, and $50,045 worth of Magic towers, he sacrificed all of them to make a temple, only wasting $105. Mackan stated that the order of the towers placed have been well thought out "to make sure as little money as possible gets wasted."
With all of this in mind, it is near impossible to get a sun temple (with the right sacrifices) before round 100, which is when a normal game of chimps ends.

The second reason is that this bug does not affect normal chimps gameplay in any way. Chimps is designed to be a gamemode to complete a map with some extra challenges: No continues, hearts lost, income, monkey knowledge, powers, selling. While the "No income" part of the challenge is technically being cheesed, it does not affect a normal game of chimps because as stated before, it is nearly impossible to get a sun temple with enough support sacrifices before round 100. Even if this was done, it would almost certainly not be able to survive on its own.
In the Impoppable gamemode or others, if you wish, you can minimize your defenses and focus on farming to create a very strong defense to beat round 100. Farming is disabled in chimps, so you have to work with the money you get by popping bloons.
This bug only benefits late game chimps runs, not regular chimps runs where you try to beat round 100.

If you watched Mackan's video, you will see how much thought and planning has went into the strategy. Without the bug, the strategy for late game chimps will be less interesting and exciting to play out. It also means that all the effort put into making the strategy is now useless, since the entire strategy is based off this bug. The highest round reached in chimps will be stuck at 452 forever.

TL;DR The bug where bloons give extra money when popped inside the range of a sun temple should be reintroduced, as it does not affect a normal game of CHIMPS, only late game.

Thanks for reading.
