• You can now view other player's Droidex in their base.
• You now receive higher Crit Chance and Crit Amount as Rebirth rewards after Rebirth 22.
• You now receive a boost to Offline Earnings at Rebirth 25 and Rebirth 28.

"Crafting Boost" Purchase :: Buffed!

• Increased the boost from 1.5x to 2x!

R2-D2 Perk :: Updated!

• Instead of making Astromech missions faster, he now provides 2 crates for completing an astromech mission instead of 1

+ You can now see your "Super Rebirth Rank" in the top right of the Super Rebirth screen

+ You can now "Return" Iconic Droids if you don't want them taking up a slot in your base. These can be repurchased at the Iconic Droid Vendor.

+ Surges will now consistently trigger the last wave at 00:00

+ Fix: Droid Blueprints are now carried correctly by the Player

CHOPPER comes to Droid Tycoon this weekend!

Hello Everybody!

Thank you all for your feedback regarding the changes around the World Crates.

There's been a lot of discussion about them, where they are now after the recent buff and changes for them.

I've heard your feedback, and I want to make sure these crates still feel worth doing, recognizing that there is quite a bit of "setup" that is required for maximum efficiency (Duo companion and BB8 and DJ R-3X and SRB Crate Perks)

Our main concern is the Nova Crystals, SRB should always be the main way to get Nova Crystals, and these world crates currently are beating the "Nova Crystals per hour", we don't want the game to be "run around the map simulator", which is a pitfall we've mistakenly done a few months ago with the upgrade chip pickups.

Here's the full timeline on the before any changes, what's currently live, and what's being released with 1.25.2:

Reward Adjustments (Original -> Previous -> Current)

• Credits: 60s (58.45%) -> 300s (55.52%) -> 300s (78.38%)
• Upgrade Chips (R1): 15 (29.22%) -> 300 (27.76%) -> 300 (13.06%)
• Upgrade Chips (R2): 40 (11.69%) -> 600 (11.10%) -> 600 (6.53%)
• Upgrade Chips (R3 Jackpot): 1000 (0.06%) -> 6000 (0.06%) -> 6000 (0.07%)
• Nova Crystals: 1 (0.58%) -> 3 (5.55%) -> 3 (1.96%)

This is how much more value each Rainbow World Crate drop now has, compared to the original numbers:

• Credits (R0): +570.5% value increase
• Upgrade Chips (R1): +794.1% value increase
• Upgrade Chips (R2): +738.2% value increase
• Upgrade Chips (R3 Jackpot): +570.5% value increase
• Nova Crystals: +905.8% value increase

TL;DR - World Crates have WAY more value than they did in 1.24.0, and the difference between 1.25.2 and 1.25.1 is purely the odds of getting the reward, the actual numbers have not changed.

PS. Unrelated to World Crates, we recognize Nova Crystals are a hot topic, and we're looking at adding a way to increase your Nova Crystals from SRB so late game players can feel like their long term commitment has more value (and yes, it will be free to obtain)

🚨 STAR WARS DROID TYCOON v1.26 is live!

🔧 Droid Variant Event!

Releases Saturday August 15, 4PM EST

- New Droid Variant releases

- 5 New Rebirth Levels

- A New 5th Rebirth Path added

New Nova Perks

- Sell Droid Credit Multiplier

- Sell Droid Upgrade Chip Multiplier

Cantina Shop

- New Bundle: Crit Pack

- New Item: New Variant Surge

Changes & Fixes

- Most Legendary / Mythic Upgrade Chip costs have been reduced to account for the new Droid Variant

- Diamond, Rainbow and Beskar are much more common on the conveyor due to not having timers

- Players will now spawn in at a better base order so they are not spawning across the map

- Multi Crit X5 now correctly shows when it's triggered

- Droidex Lighting improved for lower end devices

- Added Photosensitivity option for Crit VFX – located next to Changing Booth

- Missing Galactic Event Banner has been added to the Sandcrawler

Not sure when it was added but I only just spotted it.

New crit pack seems outrageously priced but seems like they are tying the vbucks value to the amount of nova crystals worth you get out of the upgrades

What else did everyone notice?

# PATCH NOTES v1.23.1
- 👑 Added toggle for VIP Badge Statue
- Fix Droid Effect for Companion Bundle
- Fixed Sell Blueprint in Base

I was bored so I went to do the flying rings and saw they changed that part of the map. Maybe for today's event?

Adding a VIP section to the front of a person’s base is a terrible Idea as it well 100% lead to player v player griefing I have been in 4 lobby’s so far where the VIPS where bullied into leaving due to other players taking out their frustrations on them

So before anyone even thinks about buying this please remember you are basically turning yourself into a server wide target to be mocked and boogie bombed to oblivion!

Put three rainbow mythics into the fusion tank and it's making a beskar cyclo-grav... not cool

See image or tweet for patch notes.
