Well, I'm sorry to say that this is a problem caused by the improvements to the skeleton-washing faucet. It's already been fixed, but I haven't been able to get it to reset in saved games. I'm sorry to say that this is a bug that can't be fixed at the moment. I like your idea of referring to tissue or flesh instead of pixels—it’s not very immersive. You might have to start from scratch to fix that speed issue with the beetles; I’m really sorry about that. But anyway, the truth is that I’m overhauling the game quite a bit, and with the next update, you’ll have to start from scratch. I’m creating a pretty interesting mechanic—a sort of reverse tower defense, as you’ll see—and more strategic management in the exhibition halls. Let’s just say the economic model is going to be different.
