i ended up going back and spending exactly five hours on one hole apparently and looks like i'm seeing the end and i'm still over 100b away from that next staff....

hey thanks so much again for playing, im sorry that the late game is pretty unbalanced right now :-( im working my way through the game and adding the new hole locations so that eventually progression hopefully wont fall off so hard. I think in previous versions there was the opposite problem where the progression sped up way too much so I tried to balance it, but it seems like i took it too far in the other direction for the latest update. anyways thank you for posting your experience its all really helpful feedback for me !
