Hi Nick 3 ?

2. So the weeping angel statue ohh lightbulb moment does the weeping angel move around on the island or just the ranch.

3. The commons statue can we get a weeping angel skin.

I would like an honest opinion.

Should the cost for "auto completion" of a puzzle be relative to the size of the puzzle? I find it odd that a 12 piece puzzle is 5 BBs, same as a 100 piece puzzle.

Seems to be it would be more balanced if a 12 piece puzzle was 1 BB and a 100 piece puzzle was 8-10 BBs.

It'd be a huge change in code, but I think it should also be based on the number of pieces not correctly placed. For instance, on a 100 piece puzzle only had 12 pieces left, the cost would be 1 BB.

Hey Nick,

Just a question, why is it that the double mana pet bonus is one that can't be enhanced by pet DNA? I can't think of another one that is missed, all the others can be boosted to 30% by PAGAS, just not that one, seems like an odd omission.

Cheers
AC

P.S. Matthew you mean Bessie the yellow Edwardian roadster, yes that would be a fun mount.

1) The Dr. Who homages in the game are great! Georgia and I will consider adding more in future updates. I think someone already suggested a Jeep that the Dr drives?

2) I think it should also move around on the Lake Island. Let me know if it doesn't!

3) Alternate Commons statues is an interesting idea! I'll talk to Georgia about adding some alternatives to choose from.

I've toured your Mini Golf Course on the stream. Are you offering a tour of your Ranch and Island as well?

Interesting suggestion! I can see the logic behind it. We've had Auto-Solve at a fixed cost for over 10 years now, but I'll give this idea some thought for a future update.

Both the Double Mana and Double Power bonuses are not available via augmentation. I'm not entirely sure why, since other rare bonuses like Holiday, Runes and Rune Dust are in there. Perhaps they were added after the fact? I'll consider adding them.

Flux Flax Seeds are a rare path option, certainly. I'll consider adjusting the odds.

I haven't adjusted the drops for the Quester's Satchel, with or without the VIP Boon active. Feel free to submit a support ticket and I can take a closer look at your account.

I am not sure why fishing on Amicus has this delay. It's on my list to look into when I have some time. Apologies for the inconvenience!
