That type of feedback is invaluable, and I've spent the last 3 hours tweaking values and play testing the whole phase, and I think I've come up with something that makes way more sense and plays much better with way less downtime. There is still a smidge of 'idle' time, but maybe a combined 10 minutes in what should be about a 90 minute run to get through the shop, and that's just waiting for massive delivery orders to finish to get huge money. basically remapped A LOT of costs across the board, increased delivery payouts in the middle tiers, decreased some shop costs and increased others. just played through the whole thing start to finish and it went quite well. new build is uploaded to Itch so perhaps if you make it to a 3rd play through, it should feel better (and obviously way faster with the buffs lol)
