It's a bit shit to dangle the end in front of people like that. Hours of waiting for absolutely nothing.
Automation could sure be smoother, should be able to combine different multiplication buttons (Alt + Shift [5x + 10x] = 50x type thing)
Feel like the order of the multiplication buttons should be reversed
Ctrl as 5, Shift as 10, Alt as 100. It's the way every other game does it and it's the order most people would expect to use them because it's how frequently used those keys are.
Really don't like that patch ending. Stop it when automation happens not after a pointless grind with no reward or even activity in playing.
