Hotfix #5 v1.0.6

📝 TLDR

• Contracts working - Price bounding removedUpgrades like Boom-o-nomics and Artillery Arbitrage were coded to raise a weapon’s price up to the next tier’s value - but if they exceeded it, the system snapped the price back down.This made contract price buffs vanish instantly.This wasn’t technically a bug… just a bad design. This is now fully removed and Contract buffs are working properly. Our bad guys. 😅
• Click-and-hold is now much faster, scaling with prestige tiers. By Tier 5, it auto-clicks as fast as the engine can possibly process.
• Computerized Trading Stock perk should work much better now 🙂

🔺 Buffs

• Computerized Trading now continues running until the perk is actually lost.
• Previously, it would shut itself off whenever no stocks were available and required a manual “restart.”
• Computerized Trading no longer affects IDLE or AFK stocks.
• This prevents accidental loss of Goldenes/Fear when those stocks were purchased automatically.
• Weapon sell prices should scale almost infinitely with Contracts, now that other upgrades aren't removing their affects.
• Major click-and-hold speed increase, with smoother scaling across prestiges.
• Boom-o-nomics and Artillery Arbitrage both received:+5% higher weapon price capsFaster ramp-up to reach their maximum bonus values
• The Related Products stock upgrade no longer decreases Ammo prices during privatization.

🔻 Nerfs

• Stock dividends now accrue every 1.5s (previously 1.25s).
• After Privatization 9, stock dividends now apply a slightly stronger decay for better late-game balance.
• Contract buffs now give 5%–25% (previously 5%–40%) to reduce extreme spikes.
• Computerized Trading was slowed down by 50%Old: Every 30s base speed, increaseing up to 5s/2.5s (with perks)New: Every 45s base speed, increaseing up to 10s/5s (with perks)
