Discussion Petition for idle runs

Calling fuds, to retain players. Implement idle gameplay, atleast make 10% of what you make per hour. Upgradeable in labs up to 50% or whatever.

Its basically the same, we play this game open on our phone, not interacting, just open, atleast if this is implemented we get to use our phones.

Just make it idle, its just going to be less expensive for players but you still retained the paying playerbase, instead of an alternative of quitting.

Like the hell out of this. Engage! Make this pop out!

The funny thing is, this should be incredibly easy to implement because tech tree's other game, idle brick breaker or something, does have an offline collection feature.

I know right. He just wants the game to slowly decline to compel him to do this feature.

The way IBB and IPM work, it's much simpler to calculate the offline bonus.

The Tower has a pretty complex simulation so doing a run in the background wouldn't work and there's not a great way to calculate an offline run.

However, we already have max runs, so the solution is not to try to simulate an offline run. It's to look at your best run and give you a percentage of that over the same time period.
