Idle games work best when you can accumulate money off-line. But right now the most powerful buff in the game (short-circuit) doesn't work off-line. I need to keep the game running on the desktop to get anywhere.

Which I am somewhat on the same page of opinion. I would also like to see turkey dmg work at its max when I am offline

My suggestion would be to base offline gold on highest level achieved and ignore DPS. This would also make buff cards valuable in the mid-game, instead of just the endgame.

He might have meant the highest area on the current run. Sometimes the word "level" can be confusing, since it can mean "area" or "character level."

That suggestion has been made before, but the devs are not open to it. I think they feel it would require a lot of rebalancing.
