hmm salvage update , sounds interesting . just as a side not, i still have not found a time loop, just how rare did you make them E?? I did find them today to be honest. My first for a week or so. What I notice was there was no more permanent "fails" eg. usually you can "fail" the look for 3 moons but this time if you "fail" you can just go back and chose again.

The "Time Loop" mission rewards are pretty decent across the board. From my tests after eliminating double fails / dead ends, I was able to use on average 77 turns and gain 206 turns. So this evens out, as before you could have spent 77 turns and gain nothing due to double fail (1 in 5 or so), and if you did complete it you would get more turns (maybe up to 500), but I think this is better, overall more turns.
God Speed!

i saw one yesterday completed just fine but i also ran across a new one called white hole didnt like it at all and it ended in sudden fail which was unrealistic because i never even got to fight anything and wasted alot of turns

There is a really good one called "The League" that gives out turns reward for every option. Not too shabby...

he claims to have balanced them out.. okay.. lets just agree with him on that.. making them more rare then throws off the balance.. okay balance the mission i understand, make them rarrrre as can be.. i dont

same garbage as last round, one can't gain any real turns in this game...1 bhole every 2-3 days or a lame time loop giving 200 turns after spending 150 on it...this is not a good way to make players happy

It seems you used a lot of turns in failed attempts, as you know in order to get better results you have to also choose the right way. The right way is the way that fails less...

To be fair, I have been able to obtain more turns. With bholes and interactive mission, sometimes I can get around 600 plus turns. However, I agree that this isn't consistent. The last time I got a good haul of turns was last week. I understand where Emi is coming from: Trying to balance more turns and still making it fair for everyone. However, I wouldn't complain if time loops were more common
