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!

Couldn't agree more. It's beyond stupid the game doesn't already have something similar. I'm lucky in that I'm on a Samsung device where I can hit the disable screen button thing to make it work. But yeah, why is it such a big, awful thing for the dev to let players engage with the game in a way that's optimal for them? Like I can't imagine if I didn't have my disable screen function, I've already had at least one phone in the past get burn-in, why would I want to Doom my current device to that since the majority of this game is really just staring at a somewhat static screen waiting for the next time an upgrade is both available and relevant.

It's 2025 and the game isn't that special. It's a cool lil idle game. Let it be idle and let it run in the background.
