Just started and finished my first round since the update. I love the QOL updates like the get more update, but I think the new Thingy cost is a little too much. I've always upgraded the Thingy since I produce a lot of mummies each run, but I don't think I'll upgrade it anymore.

I mathed it out, and it takes too long to make the time spent for 400 guitars worth it. Ok, so my base thingy production is 6 now. In the time it took to produce 400 guitars, I could have made 400 Thingy meats(same base rate). So how long would it take for my +1 upgraded The Thingy to make an extra 400 meats as compared tounupgraded? 400 times 8 min, which is 3200 mins, or about 53 hours. To make it so that my time spent producing 400 guitars was worth it, I'll have to run the Thingy for over 2 days, and that's assuming creature spawn generator is maxed and zero offline time. I might as well skip the guitar and just spend that time spawning an unupgraded thingy.

Not sure if I've worded it clearly enough, sorry u/GrumpyRhinoGames
