| SproutBound v1.1.2 - Better Automation Upgrades & Fixes | 2026-09-22 | This update carries fixes written by Walter, one of SproutBound's first testers and a dear friend, who did not get to see them ship. Thank you, Walter. 🌱 Updates Automation upgrades are worth buying. Every Irrigation, Tractor and Harvester level now lowers its fee by the same 3% of itself: L1 20% • L10 15.2% • L25 9.7% • L50 4.5% • L75 2.1% • L100 1%. Your existing levels get the lower fee automatically. Irrigation pauses instead of switching off. Running out of coins pauses it (the badge shows PAUSED), and it turns itself back on once you can afford it again. Switching it off yourself still keeps it off. Yield bonus is shown as Upgrades + P |
