Hello everyone! A fairly significant game update has been released. A number of new features have been added, as well as several changes to continue improving the gameplay experience. These lay some of the groundwork for the upcoming Summer Season update, which I can’t wait to drop! Enjoy, and thanks for playing.

Upcoming Changes

In 1 week from the time this update releases (on 5/17/2025), Pets will no longer be transferable between users. Eggs will still be transferable as they currently are. This is in preparation for changes to Pet breeding balance. Please take advantage of this 1-week grace period to transfer your Pets before the functionality is removed.

Changelog

Pets

• Introducing new Pet base skins: Delta, Epsilon, Zeta and Eta (least to most rare)
  • These new skins have extremely striking colors and are now some of the most difficult to obtain in-game!
  • Gamma base chance has been slightly increased to account for these additions
    • Eta skin base chance is equal to that of Gamma pre-update
• All existing Pet skins have been retouched to appear more vibrant

Equip

• A new mechanic allowing certain Items can be Equipped, where they can then be consumed by certain game actions (see below)
  • Number of Equip slots available can be increased by the Hammerspace Perk

Farm

• Watering variance has been removed
  • Instead of 10-50 minutes, a flat 30 minute reduction is now applied each time
  • Same applies for farm watering byproducts
• Plant Menu: An improved interface for managing Farm Plots
• Last used Boost item is now remembered between individual plot menus
• More uproot options (All of same type, All plots) added on planted plot menus

Specials

• Genesis Egg: A new special that, upon use, creates a Generation I pet
  • Genesis Eggs have an elevated base skin probability (5x)
  • These Specials are now findable from Actions, and are also a Weekly Burn Reward
  • More methods to obtain these will be released in the future (e.g. KR Store)
• Forged Banknote has been removed
  • Any players who owned one have received a Genesis Egg as a replacement
• Specials that share common properties now stack on the interface
  • You can still view individual Specials owned by clicking on the stack

  • This does not currently sync between clients due to technical limitations

Items

• Reaper’s Scythe has been renamed to Sialogogue
  • On use, this item will massively increase the amount of a Pet’s current craving (by 1b)
• Rainmaking Amulet: Is now equippable
  • If this item is equipped, and an additional water could have occurred since the Farm was last tended to, it is consumed, and water’s time reduction will be increased
  • This effect stacks if multiple are equipped at once
• Auspicious Coin: Is now equippable
  • If this item is equipped and a Coinflip is lost, the loss is nullified, and any amount that would have been deducted is saved
  • There’s a 10% chance this item is consumed each time its effect is triggered
• Atlantic Obol, Hunter’s Blind, Daoic Seal, Subterran Crest: New rare items that apply a 2x Boost (8h) for their respective action on use

  • Most in-game commands and input boxes now also accept math expressions
• A personal notification is now always shown when a Rare Item or Special is found
• Misc. other bugfixes, optimizations and improvements

A new Season has arrived in Bconomy: Spring Fling, the Spring 2025 Event! The snow’s melting, plants are peeking out of the soil, quests have been reset and progression for the new Season has been enabled. With this update comes a slew of new Items and game balance adjustments.

Revamps to the Farm, additional functionality for both new and old Items, a UI refresh, and more exciting features will be arriving over the next couple weeks. I’d hoped that these would have been ready for release by today, but they’re not polished to a level I’m satisfied with yet. Some Items added in this update don’t have uses as a result, but their place in the game will make more sense soon. In the meantime, enjoy the new Season and, as always, thanks for playing!

Changelog

Quests

• The Spring 2025 Season has begun! Quests have been unlocked, progression has been reset for all players, and new Rewards are available to earn.
  • Trophies have been distributed to the top 10 players of last Season by Quest Level (Congrats to the #1 player, REDRUM#21267)

Pets

• Active buddy loot action multiplier increase per level decreased to 0.001x (from ~0.002x)

    • Rare Items given away have a 10x KR Bonus on top of their base worth
  • Loosely inspired by the community’s Reputation system, KR is a way to incentivize high-level players to “give back” to the playerbase by running Giveaways
  • KR will be usable to buy permanent cosmetics like exclusive Pet modifiers, UI/Profile themes, special Trophies, and more
    • Cosmetics available to purchase will be time-limited and rotate based on the current Season but, once bought, will be owned permanently

Hey folks! This update introduces ways for players to support Bconomy financially. We’ve seen an increase in new players recently, and, along with that, server issues! That’s great! (sarcasm) Adding monetization features isn’t my favorite use of dev time, but it’s clearly necessary now for the long-term growth and survival of the game.

I’ve introduced some minor perks for those who generously support Bconomy with a few dollars each month. I will add more and more benefits to the subscription over time, and promise to keep them non-P2W for as long as possible. If Bconomy has brought you any enjoyment, I hope you’ll consider sparing a few bucks each month to keep the game alive.

This update is a bit sparse in terms of actual content. A ton of exciting features are planned for the next one, dropping March 1st! A huge expansion to the Farm, a new Season (with new Items, Global Events, and Quest Rewards to earn), and naturally dropping Specials are just on the horizon. Good things are worth waiting for!

Changelog

Ball Pit

• Ball Pit is now drawn more often, every 15 minutes (from 1 hour)

Specials

• Noetic Pulsator global cooldown reduced to 2 minutes (from 5 minutes)

Other

• Potential fixes for lag issues caused by Faction recruitment system
