:The first one is too subjective to be treated as a fact. I'm not sure about the second one, it's not that unusual for upgrades in BTD6 to go a long time without any direct changes.

:I haven't added the fact about windmills and watermills yet because I think that's easy to observe just by reaching level 35, but maybe it's not that obvious since the game never directly tells you about it?
