Hi all,
An exciting new update is about to launch, initially as an in-app update for early testing (later today) and next week+ as version 2.7.0 on the App Store. Edited: Play Store version 2.7.0 is now live.
This is a major update featuring a number of changes to the core game mechanics and several feature additions.
Characters & Items.
A new type of collectibles has been added to the game in the form of Characters.
Collectible characters appear at random locations, same as resources, and can be picked up when standing close enough and by using the "Pick up" button.
