Hey, thanks so much for the feedback. Honestly, looking at it now I can’t even defend those numbers. $10 for basic ore against a $50 refuel just doesn’t work, especially when you factor in how fast the thrusters drain fuel on the way back up.
I’ve rebalanced the early-game economy. Basic ore values are going up significantly, thruster fuel costs are coming down, and I’m making sure that first expedition is actually profitable instead of a trap.
Thanks again for giving the game a try. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this, it’s genuinely helpful.
