@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space Good fun so far. I don't understand, though, how the % bonuses work. "Slot Costs -335%" - I would expect this to mean they cost -2.35x what they normally cost, meaning I get paid? Of course that's not how it works, but I have no idea how it *does* work.

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space Looking at the code, it seems like `function prestigeSlotCostMult() { return Math.max(0.1, 1 - getPrestigeBonus("slot_cost_pct") / 100); }` means that the slot discount is effectively capped at 90%, which I hit long ago, and I've been vainly pursuing larger -% for a while now. Also means that the -% rewards are increasingly valuable (-0 -> -10% = slots cost 90% as much as before, vs -80%->-90% = slots cost half as much as before)... until you hit the cap and suddenly they're worth nothing at all. Wonder how it would feel if they stacked multiplicative, rather than additive? So -10% and -10% = 81% rather than 80. It's already all running through a reducer in `getPrestigeBonus()`, so trying it out would be a one-line change. 🤔 :fox_cowboy:
