Don't know for you guys , but this update has increased the difficulties and significantly slowed down my progression. The amount of resources needed to keep the gears up has increased with those 2 news equipment. I fell at a loss in comparison to those who max their base before the updates. What about you ?
I think overall is inline with how the game has evolved. I feel the amikins are still far too hungry, I hope they address this with other food to give them longer feeds.
