Banana Farm has become increasingly popular as of recently, with it arguably being too dominant in the meta. We would like to tone it down slightly by upping the price of 3xx, a particularly efficient farm for the early/mid game. In addition to this, we have improved the Bank so that it can fill up earlier, since this upgrade does not get used and the long fill time is one major reason for this.

Version 4.3.1 (OTA update 1)

edit
EZ Collect has never been a very valuable upgrade, particularly for desktop players or those using Banana Farmers where the collection radius isn't important. Quality Soil means that a 3/4/502 farm now has similar efficiency to a 3/4/520 farm. The former is cheaper and generates less cash, while the latter is more expensive and generates more.

X-X-1 Quality Soil
  •   Replaced EZ Collect with Quality Soil
X-X-2 Banana Salvage
  •   Upgrade cost increased ― $200 → $300
    • Note: Cost actually increased to $240 in practice, due to Quality Soil's discount
X-X-3 Marketplace
  •   Upgrade cost increased ― $2,800 → $3,500
    •   Actual upgrade cost is the same due to Quality Soil's discount, actual overall cost increased by $40 due to Banana Salvage's cost nerf
X-X-4 Central Market
  •   Upgrade cost increased ― $13,000 → $16,250
    •   Actual upgrade cost is the same due to Quality Soil's discount, actual overall cost increased by $40 due to Banana Salvage's cost nerf
X-X-5 Monkey Wall Street
  •   Upgrade cost increased ― $46,000 → $57,500
    •   Actual upgrade cost is the same due to Quality Soil's discount, actual overall cost increased by $40 due to Banana Salvage's cost nerf
Tiers Changes
X-X-2 Banana Salvage
  •   Upgrade cost reduced ― $300 → $240
X-X-2 Banana Salvage and further upgrades
  •   Bottom path is no longer affected by Quality Soil (as the costs have been lowered to match what they were intended to be)
X-X-3 Marketplace
  •   Upgrade cost reduced ― $3,500 → $2,800
X-X-4 Central Market
  •   Upgrade cost reduced ― $16,250 → $13,000
X-X-5 Monkey Wall Street
  •   Upgrade cost reduced ― $57,500 → $46,000
The Monkey Bank benefited a little too much from the introduction of Quality Soil. These changes are intended to keep the strength of the Monkey Bank when combined with the top path while nerfing the bottom crosspath.

Tiers Changes
0-3-X Monkey Bank and further upgrades
  •   End of round income reduced ― $550 → $450
1-3-0 Monkey Bank + Increased Production
1-4-0 IMF loan + Increased Production
1-5-0 Monkey-Nomics + Increased Production
  •   End of round income increased ― $450 → $500
2-3-0 Monkey Bank + Greater Production
2-4-0 IMF loan + Greater Production

  •   End of round income increased ― $500 → $550
X-5-X Monkey-Nomics
  •   Ability: initial cooldown increased ― 25s → 30s
We are buffing the monkey bank top crosspath to make it a more tempting option when compared to the bottom crosspath and Quality Soil.

Tiers Changes
2-4-0 IMF loan + Greater Production
  •   End of round bonus cash increased ― $550 → $700
2-5-0 Monkey-Nomics + Greater Production
  •   End of round bonus cash increased ― $550 → $1000
The introduction of the Quality Soil upgrade was another impactful change we wanted to allow plenty of room to settle before tweaking it. We feel this change will slow down farms in the early game, but keep their late game impact.

Tiers Changes
X-X-1 Quality Soil and further upgrades
  •   Discount to path 1 and 2 upgrades decreased ― 20% → 15%
The IMF Loan was proving to be a bit too good of a deal so we have reduced the amount it lends and also decreased the capacity of the bank.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
X-4-X IMF loan
  •   Bank capacity reduced ― $20,000 → $18,000
    • Note: Monkey-Nomics unaffected ($30,000)
  •   Ability: loan amount reduced ― $20,000 → $15,000
    • Description changed accordingly
X-5-X Monkey-Nomics
  •   Ability: cash gain reduced ― $20,000 → $15,000 (undocumented)
Monkeynomics is underperforming after the x4x IMF Loan nerf. This should bring it back in line with how it was pre nerf.

[...]

This change will hopefully add a bit more identity to the bottom path, setting it apart from the other 2.

    • Note: Initial cooldown remains 30s
