Terracore: Devlog #18 - Sometimes Changes in ALPHA are HARD - New Minerate Changes
Hello Fellow Citizens!
Some urgent upcoming changes to the minerate algorithm in our game are happening NOW. After taking a closer look at the original formula, we have decided to make some stability changes to ensure the long-term health of the in-game economy. After doing a deep dive look out of safety after looking over the number 
Our original formula used an exponential growth rate, which could potentially lead to a runaway scenario that would be detrimental to the game's economy in the long term. We have listened to your feedback and concerns, and we believe that these changes are necessary to prevent any negative impact on the game's economy.
Starting today, we will be using a linear growth rate for the minerate algorithm. We understand that this may result in a slower rate of growth initially, but we believe that it is a necessary change to ensure that the in-game economy remains stable in the long term.
Original Equation:
var base = 0.0001;
var power = result.stats.engineering;
var rate = base * Math.pow(1.1, (power - 1));
New Equation:
var base = 0.0001;
var power = 1;
var rate = base * (1 + (power/10));
We would like to remind you that the game is still in its alpha phase, and we are constantly making changes and improvements to ensure that it is the best possible experience for all players. As such, we appreciate your feedback and input, and we encourage you to continue to share your thoughts with us.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to create the best possible game for everyone.
