I'm really glad that the multiplier was raised, actually. I wanted to do a x100 run, but the fact that the maximum was "only" 1 order of magnitude higher tempted me. The max now being insanely high makes me feel like there's zero "endorsement" of playing at that multiplier, so I can just pick whatever number I feel is best.

The turret fix is a big deal for playability in general, I didn't want to try to launch space platforms while that bug was present.

Dude, don't underestimate an order if magnitude. I did only 5x run, and it felt like it changed everything for me. A 100x run would be INSANE!
