A pretty big update ahead in terms of clean-ups.
One of the bigger things to prepare for, is the replacement of the CLIX system. We'll be using MANA (Abilities) and STAMINA (Click attacks) instead of clix, and won't actually activate on a character until level 100.
Many will disagree with this, but the game is growing significant confusion with clix as an 'Energy system'...
Even though you can't 'buy' energy, and it's sole purpose is to divert auto-clickers from surpassing others unfairly, it isn't being judged that way because of the way it is represented at the beginning of the game. I'm rectifying this by disabling the system entire until level 100, and switching up the name scheme.
I suspect by the time most players reach level 100, they'll have a stronger grasp on the game and understand how everything works by then.

Positive news...i'll be working out the Monthly event very soon. I have several ideas on the theme of the event, but I think i'll be going with:
IOU-CE : Idle Online Universe - Clean Energy
After seeing a lot of players discussing how idle games are not environmental friendly by requiring players to leave their computers running...I think we should have an event based on the subject of energy production. I'll be looking to design and set up a completely separate mini-idle game for this...which will be quite a bit different than the previous events, but more rewarding and likely more fun.
I have a week to get this rolling, or i'll have an event code released without an event ! Will be keeping busy.
