Market Miner's First Major Feature Update!

Hey all! I have just released the 8th update to Market Miner since launch. All the other ones thus far have been simple bug fixes or rebalancing updates, but this one is big enough to warrant a post! It focuses on adding more content for deticated endgame players. Previously, after ascending the first time the only thing to do was just ascend again. Now, there is a whole new ore and a whole new set of upgrades to unlock!

 Market Miner Update 8 Changelog

• Alienite Ore
  • This is a new ore which comes after Celestium
  • Costs $80T
  • Sell price ranges from $14 to $25 per 10 alienite
• Changes to Ascension
  • There are now 3 different ascention upgrades.
  • Ascend 1 is available after celestium, and costs $500B and will increase your multiplier to 2x. Once you have bought it once, you cannot buy it again next time.
  • Ascend 2 is available after alienite, and costs $200Q and will increase your multiplier to 3x. Just like ascend 1, you cannot buy it more than once.
  • Ascend Infinity will appear at the bottom of the alienite upgrades after your multiplier has reached 3x. It starts at $500Qi, and you can buy it as many times as you want. It will increase in price each time though. Every time you buy ascend infinity, your multiplier gets increased by 1.
