"Almost painful to recommend slowing down a clicker" - best bug report I have ever gotten :) You are right on both counts. The economy explodes within seconds (era multipliers outrun the cost curve almost instantly) and I am rebalancing it now so progression actually takes effort. And noted on the ending - making sure reaching THE CORE feels like a real finale, not just a stop. Patch coming shortly, would genuinely love to hear if the pacing feels right after.
v1.1 is live - both of your points addressed! The economy got the full treatment (soil hardness per era, smaller artifact bursts, steeper costs - no more buying everything in ten seconds), and THE CORE now has a real ending screen with your expedition stats and a final-publish moment. Your "almost painful to recommend slowing down a clicker" line made it into the devlog. Would love your verdict on the new pacing.
