FeeBay Simulator news & patch notes

v0.2.20 - Binders, Multi Profiles, and QoLs

Save Profiles

• Added save profiles so you can run separate games at once.
• Your current game becomes the Main Save. Make new vanilla or modded profiles and switch any time to reload into that save.
• Modded profiles keep their own copy of your mods, so changes on the Main Save never break them.
• Each profile has its own folder, backups, and exports, all tagged with the profile name so files are easy to tell apart.
• Profiles are sorted by last played, most recent first.
• Fixed a tutorial issue on modded profiles.
• Fixed modded profiles picking up mods you had turned off on the Main Save.

Collection Binders

• Your sets sit on a binder shelf. Click a spine to open the binder and flip or swipe through its pages.
• Big collections stay smooth since only the open page renders.
• Modded sets get their own shelves grouped by mod.
• Sets with a pack use the pack art on the spine and cover, and match the cover color to it.
• Completing a set shows a master set trophy under its spine.
• Turn pages with the arrows, space bar, or a swipe, and close with the X or Escape.
• Closing plays a shut animation. The binder folds to the center and drops away.

Custom Binders

• Build your own binders on a shelf above your sets.
• Name a binder, pick a color, and upload a cover image, all with a live preview.
• Set the grid size per page to 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4.
• Fill pages by clicking an empty pocket and picking a card from a searchable, filterable list.
• Arrange binders into rows. Drag them between rows and drag whole rows up or down, and it stays saved.
• Arrange mode lets you add or remove pages, move cards between slots, and swap them. Drag a card over the page arrows to carry it to another page.
• Cards in a binder do not take up an inventory slot, like showcased cards. The inventory has a binders filter, and each binder card shows which binder it is in.

Binders for Modders

• Customize each set's binder from the Sets tab. Upload an image, reuse the pack art, or use a plain color.
• Scale, rotate, and position the image on the spine and cover, and choose whether it fills and crops or shows the whole image.
• Set a custom card back per set. Upload an image and position it in a preview. It shows on every card in that set across the marketplace, binders, and pack reveals.
• Graded slabs keep their case, with the custom back on the card inside.
• Uploaded images stay full resolution and are stored in the mod's images folder like card and pack art.

Misc Changes

• Two new late game storage upgrades. Warehouse Wing at level 5 and Distribution Center at level 6, taking max inventory up to 1000 slots.
• Dashboard cash cards shorten big numbers to K, M, B, or T when they would overflow, with the full amount on hover.
• A crash on load no longer turns your mods off, so you can just reload.
• Turning off the Mod Manager fully disables every mod.
• New Listed filter in the inventory for cards listed online, with a timer and an Unlist button. Listed cards are hidden from the All tab.
• Cards being graded show a countdown and a cancel button.
• Added a setting to turn off event notifications. It only silences market events and minor updates, so sales, alerts like inventory full, and milestones still show.
• Modded save slots flag when one of their mods has a newer version in your mods folder, with a button to update it.
• Mod cards can set a custom HP value or hide the HP badge.
• Mod edits are saved to disk when you close the game, so you no longer lose unsaved work.
• Renamed the mod editor Events tab to Market Trends to match the in game term.
• New Rarities tab in the mod editor lists all base rarities and lets you draft new ones (preview only for now).
• Fixed broken cards showing as Unknown Card in the market movers.
• Added Game Overrides, personal per save settings that win over mods. Base game sets are on by default and toggle per save, no longer controlled by mods. Mods can still set money, market, and game speed multipliers from the Rules tab, but your per save override always wins.

v0.2.17 - The 100x Mod Update

Mods got a complete overhaul

• All size limits are gone. No more 2 GB import wall, export cap, or memory crashes from running several big mods. Mod size is only limited by disk space.
• Huge mods load fast and no longer eat RAM. Card art loads from disk only when a card is on screen.
• Existing mods upgrade automatically on first launch. Originals are kept untouched as backups, and the new Backups button in My Mods opens them.
• Sharing works the same. Export gives you a single .feebaymod file with no size limit, and Import accepts both new and old mod files.
• Steam Workshop works with the new format. Subscribing to an older mod converts it automatically.
• Mod folders are easy to hand edit. mod.json is readable and images are normal files named after what you uploaded.

Mod Manager

• My Mods now shows every installed mod, including Steam Workshop installs. Workshop mods have a blue card with Update, Uninstall, and Unsubscribe right on it.
• The Explore tab is now the Workshop tab for browsing and subscribing.
• New All / Local / Steam filter above the mod list.
• Hover a mod size to see how much is card data vs images.
• Removed the Sync Game button and the restart required notice. Enabling or disabling a mod applies instantly.

Mod Editor

• Everything autosaves. No more Save button or autosave setting, changes save about a second after you stop editing. Ctrl+S still saves instantly.
• Mass upload compresses images properly, keeps filenames, skips nothing, and shows a progress bar.
• Animated GIFs are fully supported for card art and holo patterns.
• New Image Fit option: Fill crops to the frame like before, Fit shows the whole image. Art scale now goes up to 10x and there is a reset button.
• New holo pattern tools: a tiling toggle, an art window only mode, per side cropping, and patterns now render identically in every view of the card.
• New floating card preview you can drag and resize while editing variants, plus a toggle to hide the sample art.
• Cards show their image file path so you can find the file in the mod folder.

v0.2.15 - Misc Improvements

BidGoblin Auctions

• BidGoblin now runs itself. Lots refill on their own and the floor is always live. No more calling for fresh lots.
• Twice as many live auctions at once. Up to 12 lots on the floor.
• Auctions now last 20 to 35 seconds. Every lot gives you real time to bid.
• New sort toggle on the live lots. Flip between ending soonest and ending latest. Your choice is remembered.
• Graded slabs now show up at auction, not just raw cards. Any card can appear slabbed by ZAG, PZA, or Bucket at any grade.
• Rare Bucket black label slabs can now appear too. About a 0.5% chance. These are grade 10 jackpot lots.
• The estimated value at auction now matches what the card is worth in your inventory. No more surprise drop after you win.
• Added a hover tip that explains the estimated value.
• The auction page now fills the whole screen, top to bottom.

Mods and Loading

• Mod Manager has a live memory bar so you can watch RAM and heap usage.
• You can raise the heap limit for big mods, up to 32 GB.
• The memory bar shows real GPU status and can be collapsed.
• The loading screen now appears instantly and waits for mods to finish loading.
• Workshop mods show their art and name right away in the Load Order tab.

Performance

• Card art now loads in batches instead of one request at a time. Big pages load much faster.

Fixes

• The red closing warning on the auction now covers the whole pit from the top.
• Restyled the bid and buyout buttons to match the rest of the game.
• Mods no longer store duplicate copies of the same art. Many mods will shrink a lot.
• Fixed a rare bug that could save a big mod with no art. Mods now back up their file before any risky save.
• Fixed Export doing nothing on very large mods. It now warns you clearly.
• Fixed the My Mods card showing the wrong file size after saving.
• The card inspector now shows your card's real value. The Market Drift chart matches your actual copy.
• For cards you own, the chart now shows profit or loss against what you paid.
• Fixed employees getting stuck on long cooldowns. Affected saves heal on load.
• Fixed ghost mods showing up after you unsubscribe. They are now cleaned up on launch.
• The Workshop subscribed list now loads with the game.

v0.2.14 - New Packs & Mod Load Order

Mod Manager - Load Order

• New Load Order tab in Mod Manager - shows every installed mod, local and Workshop, in one unified priority list with reorder arrows.
• Each row shows the mod source (My Mods vs Workshop), a creature count, and impact badges for big changes: red "N sets off" when base sets are disabled, blue "Money/Market/Speed xN" for each changed multiplier, green "Grading" when grading companies or rates are modified.
• A "Changes game settings" badge shows a full breakdown on hover - starting money, game speed, disabled sets, grading companies, custom events, and more.
• Removed the per-card reorder arrows from My Mods; ordering is now handled exclusively from Load Order.
• Load Order rows use a drag handle to reorder - items animate smoothly as they slide to make room.
• The Mods and Load Order sub-tabs now live inside the nav pill and animate together instead of floating separately.

Pack Builder & Balance

• Mod editor pack builder now supports per-slot rarity OR variant constraints - pin a slot to a rarity range, or lock it to specific variants (e.g. slot 1 normal-only, slot 10 holo/rainbow/gold).
• Slot variant mode toggles between rarity and variant per slot independently, and switching back and forth never loses your settings.
• Variant chips are sorted worst-to-best and include any custom variants your mod defines.
• Pack slot reveal order now matches the slot number exactly - slot 1 reveals first, slot 10 last.
• Auctions now allow all rarities to appear - previously only Rare and above were eligible.
• Sets tab "Set Presence" section now shows live "~1 in N" odds estimates per venue.
• Sets tab replaces the old single Set Weight slider with per-venue multipliers for Marketplace, Mystery Lots, Storage Units, Daily Deals, and Auctions - all default to 1.0 so existing mods are unaffected. These weights are now fully wired into the engine across every venue.
• Base game Generation 1-7 packs rebalanced: 10 cards per pack, price tuned per generation ($130-$375); slots 1-8 Common normal, slot 9 Common normal or reverse holo, slot 10 a premium Common variant pool (holo, shiny, rainbow, black, silver/gold full art).
• Added the Twilight Veil booster pack to the base game: 5 cards at $400, weighted toward rare finishes.
• Pack value simulation panel now explains itself instead of disappearing when a set's creatures haven't been compiled into the game yet.
• New sound effects: paper sliding when drag-reordering Load Order, a soft chime when switching Mod Manager tabs.

Pack Dispenser & Pack Art

• Pack dispenser console now shows pack name, set name, and a "Pack Odds" breakdown when a pack is selected.
• Pack art editor now has text styling controls: position offsets, color/size/bold/italic/underline for the pack name, color/size/italic for the set name.
• Pack art editor now supports custom text overrides - type your own pack name or set name instead of using the defaults.
• Flipper rules now support "Never sell grades" - exclude specific graded slabs from auto-selling.

Fixes

• Fixed creature/card overrides applying in reverse priority order - the last enabled mod was winning instead of #1; #1 now always wins on stat conflicts.
• Fixed startingMoney using the highest value across all mods instead of the highest-priority mod's value.
• Impact badges no longer flag settings that match base game defaults as changes.
• Fixed Online Listings bouncing players back to a previous tab if they owned a listing but hadn't bought a card yet.
• Fixed employees getting stuck on enormous cooldowns after a single task - covered by the same timer repair pass as auctions, listings, conventions, market trends, and payments, plus a new runtime guard rail that clamps any timer that balloons past its longest legitimate duration.
• Replaced the "Enjoying the game?" review nudge with a note pointing players to community mods on the Steam Workshop.
• Dark mode is now the default theme for new players (still respects whatever you've previously toggled).
• The Business Level card on the Stats page now has a direct "Promote on the Upgrades tab" button instead of a plain text hint.

• Fixed mod manager Cards tab losing pagination position when editing a card and pressing "Back to all cards" - the page is now preserved across the edit round-trip
• Inventory sort order is now stable while browsing - cards no longer shuffle positions when market trends update or when selling/listing; sort re-applies only when explicitly changing the sort key or filter

v0.2.12 - Modding Improvements Patch

Mod Manager

• New - Explore tab - browse the Steam Workshop without leaving the game. Sort by Most Popular, Top Rated, Newest, or Recently Updated. Filter by tags. Subscribe and unsubscribe directly. Top 3 results get ranked badges. Each card shows star rating, subscriber count, vote buttons, tags, and how long ago it was uploaded or updated. The Subscribed filter (blue Steam icon) shows only mods you already have, with local file sizes displayed.
• Added page navigation and a results-per-page selector (10 / 20 / 30 / 50) to the Explore tab.
• Active tag filters are highlighted on mod cards so you can see at a glance what matched.
• Workshop tab now has a Steam icon and blue color. My Mods tab has a box icon.
• Mod cards in Workshop and My Mods now show card count in green and file size in red.
• Added a Prune button to Workshop mod cards - removes leftover files from previous uploads, keeping only the current version. Shows how much space will be freed before you confirm. Button pulses red when savings exceed 250 MB.
• Added a Prune button to local mod cards - moves older version files to the archive instead of deleting them.
• Archive section now shows the total size of all archived files. Card counts now display correctly for all mods, including large ones that previously showed nothing.

Mod Publishing

• The update modal now has a version section. Auto-increment defaults to patch - pick major, minor, or patch with tooltips explaining when each is appropriate. Shows a live "old version -> new version" preview. Turn off auto-increment to type a version manually. The mod file on disk is updated to match before the Workshop item syncs, so your local copy and the uploaded version always stay in step.
• The tags section now collapses by default when updating an existing item - a badge shows how many tags are selected so you can skip past it if you're not changing them.
• Change note field is now a full-width textarea.
• Visibility field moved inline with the title to give the change note more room.

Fixes

• Fixed the game process not terminating after closing via Steam - the app would show "Closing..." indefinitely until Steam was restarted.
• Fixed a crash when installing a large mod from the Workshop.
• Fixed a crash when selecting a specific version from a Workshop mod that has multiple files uploaded.
• Fixed grading company taglines and other mod settings reverting to their defaults on app restart.
• Fixed card art disappearing after editing and saving a large mod.
• Fixed cards from disabled mods still showing up in Inventory, the shop, employee stock, the collection showcase, and the grading card count when the mod shared a set name with base game content.
• Fixed all game timers showing incorrect values after long play sessions - this affected the day clock, Daily Deals restock, convention badge, market trend countdowns, auction timers, and storefront listing and payment timers.
• Fixed the grading voucher tutorial callout never appearing for players who received their voucher after completing the tutorial.
• Fixed market trend tags being case-sensitive - "Dragon" and "dragon" now match correctly.
• Fixed inventory cards shuffling position every few seconds while on value sort. Card order is now stable between sort changes and pack openings - values still update live, the order just stops jumping around.
• Fixed market-up and market-down sort producing incorrect or identical results. The sort now uses the same combined market signal shown on each card's price indicator, so the order matches what you see.

Achievements

• Fixed Codex Complete not unlocking if any mod cards were in the collection record - it now only checks base game cards.
• Fixed Pack Rat (fill inventory) triggering immediately instead of when you actually fill it.
• Fixed Slab Lord requiring Gem 8+ grades - any 10 graded cards now counts.
• Fixed Grading Diversifier not unlocking after using a fourth grading company.
• Fixed Top Pop - now requires a Gem 10 of every variant of any single Mythic Rare or Prototype creature rather than every ultra card in the game.
• Moved Nice Try (cheats console) from bronze to gold. Added hints for Hack the Planet and Nice Try so there's a nudge without a full spoiler.
• Added three Sell All milestones: Mass Mover (bronze), Bulk Flipper (silver, 10+ cards), Liquidation Event (gold hidden, 25+ cards).
• Added five pack opening milestones: First Rip (bronze), Pack Addict (bronze, 10 packs), Crack Junkie (silver, 50), Set Ripper (gold, 100), Cardboard Destroyer (gold hidden, 250).
• Added four slab cracking milestones: Cracker (bronze), Slab Cracker (silver, 10), Serial Cracker (gold, 50), No Slab is Safe (gold hidden, 75).
• Added Modded achievement for enabling mods for the first time.

Tutorial

• Added a Mod Manager step at the end of the tutorial recap introducing the Steam Workshop and community mods.
• Players who completed the tutorial before this update will see a one-time callout on next load pointing them to the Mod Manager tab.

Employees

• Operating costs panel is now embedded at the bottom of the company profit chart as a collapsible section - click to expand the full line-item breakdown.
• Hire staff cards now always display in a single row of five instead of wrapping.

Other

• Added a system tray icon - right-click for Open / Quit, double-click to restore the window.
• Added crash log files that write to disk in real time. Access them via the Crash Logs button at the bottom of the Mod Manager.

v0.2.11 - QoL and Stability Patch

New Features

• Regrade Station upgrade (Business Level 4, $8,500) - adds a Crack & Regrade button directly to your recently graded cards. One click cracks the slab and resubmits to the same company instantly. Button is styled per grading company and disappears once the card is no longer yours as a graded slab.

• Mod Manager moved to the sidebar - Mod Manager now lives in the sidebar under Tools with an on/off toggle. No more digging through Dashboard Settings to find it. First-time enable still shows the experimental warning.

• Market sort in Inventory - the Profit sort has been replaced with a 3-way Market sort. Click once to sort by highest market trend first (green), again for lowest (red), again to turn it off. Works with mod and event trends.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash when publishing or updating large mods to the Steam Workshop

• Fixed a crash in the Workshop subscription scanner that could cause large subscribed mods to silently disappear from your mod list

• Fixed "failed to parse mod file" errors when importing large mods that contain cards with no art

• Fixed the Chaos Grading Module firing on every submission instead of as a 30% chance - it now correctly forces grade 10 or 1 as a wildcard, matching its upgrade description

• Fixed the chaos badge showing on nearly every graded card when the module was active (caused by the same bug)

• Fixed chaos badge text saying "Grade dumped to 1" on cards that weren't graded 1

• Fixed "Update Workshop" / "Publish to Workshop" button appearing on mods you imported but didn't create

• Fixed base-game card variants (e.g. black parallels) still showing visual overrides from a disabled mod

• Fixed rarity sort in Inventory sorting alphabetically instead of by actual rarity order

• Fixed "Jump to" links on the Dashboard appearing for pages you haven't unlocked yet

• Fixed the Dashboard inventory count being higher than the sidebar badge

Improvements

• Damaged slabs in the recently graded list now show crack lines and a centered DAMAGED label over the dimmed card art

• Chaos and mislabel badges now appear in the single and bulk grade reveal modals, not just in the recently graded list

• Rarity and condition sort buttons in Inventory now show a tooltip listing the full order from highest to lowest

• Mod Manager opening and closing is now faster - large mods show a loading screen instead of a frozen UI

• Clicking Back in the Mod Editor now shows a saving screen instead of a freeze

• Mod Editor Cards tab now uses pagination (25 per page, switchable to 50 or 100) instead of infinite scroll

• Disabled mods no longer load at startup, reducing load time when you have many mods installed

v0.2.10 - Balance & Fixes

Mod Editor - Events Tab

• Custom Events - create your own market events with custom flavor text, up/down direction, swing range, duration, and pool weight. Scope effects to specific sets, variants, or rarities beyond cards that already carry a trend tag.
• Base Game Events - per-tag overrides for all 27 base game event tags. Adjust up and down multiplier ranges and duration independently, or disable a tag entirely so it never fires.

Mod Editor

• Generation 1-7 packs now appear as default booster packs in the vending machine
• All 10 rarities now appear in the mass upload rarity selector and balance tab rarity filters - previously only the base 5 were listed
• Balance tab: new bulk set rarity and bulk set variant tools - apply to all cards matching the current filter in one click

Fixes

• Custom event set/variant/rarity filters now correctly affect card prices - the tag and criteria filters now work as OR (a card is affected if it has the matching tag, or if it matches the set/variant/rarity criteria)
• Market Trends exposure panel now correctly counts inventory for custom events that use set/variant/rarity targeting - previously always showed "none in hand"
• Card inspector now shows active custom event trends in the drift section - previously only base game tag trends appeared
• Card inspector drift chart and "% from baseline" now factor in active trend multipliers - a x18 event now correctly shows a massive spike instead of just noise
• Inventory card Market pill now shows the combined noise + trend percentage instead of noise-only
• Market movers ticker now ranks by full effective market movement including trends - heavily pumped cards surface to the top
• Rarity badge now scales proportionally with card size at all display sizes
• BidGoblin Paddle upgrade now correctly requires 100 reputation to purchase, matching the BidGoblin marketplace unlock
• Mass uploader no longer scrolls when removing an image - only scrolls when new images are added
• Sets tab badge now shows the correct total set count instead of the number of customized set profiles
• Base game pack overrides now correctly ship to all players on deployment
• Sets tab pool preview now shows correctly for custom mod sets before saving

v0.2.2 - Modding Patch

New

• Balance tab in the mod editor - view and tune all card market stats in one place. Stat distribution histograms, bulk set-value tool, bulk tags tool, and an inline-editable table with mini card thumbnails
• Balance tab - "Remove All Tags" button clears trend tags across all cards or a specific set (with confirmation)
• Grading tab - slab colors are now fully customizable per company. Pick a primary and accent color with a live preview. Changes apply everywhere slabs appear in-game
• Variant editor - "Hide holo dots" toggle to disable the built-in sparkle layer on custom variants
• Variant editor - Autograph toggle adds the signature overlay and pen glyph to the card
• Ctrl+S saves the mod instantly - rebuilds cards, syncs to disk, and shows "Saved!" on the button

Improvements

• Grading company name overrides now apply everywhere - badge buttons, status labels, employee tooltips, and daily deal text all use the modded name
• Card editor - new cards now start with sensible defaults: Base Value $5, Base Premium $30, Popularity/Supply 50, Volatility 30, Grade Potential 70
• Card editor - Market Stats fields have hover tooltips explaining what each stat does
• Workshop tab now lazy-loads - mod list only fetches when you open the tab
• Cards tab resets to the All Cards view when clicked while already on that tab and auto-saves
• Cards tab shows a warning badge when any cards are missing a name, with a "Name missing" label on each affected card

Bug Fixes

• Fixed enabled mod cards not showing in inventory when a different disabled mod shared the same set name
• Fixed card variant visuals breaking on cards from disabled mods
• Fixed a data corruption issue where disabling a mod could permanently hide those cards even after re-enabling - a one-time repair runs on startup to clean up affected saves
• Fixed a crash (QuotaExceededError) when saving mods with large art - art no longer goes through localStorage, it stays in memory and reloads from disk on startup
• Fixed mod cards without a name being silently dropped from the card pool - they now show as "(Unnamed)" until named
• Fixed showcase not updating after toggling a mod on or off

v0.2.1 - Modding Patch

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash when exporting mods that contain large card images
• Fixed custom variants using a Normal background still showing holo effects
• Fixed holo patterns tiling differently between the preview and the collection/shop views
• Fixed base game card overrides losing typed values when editing number fields
• Fixed card art sliders being hidden when overriding a base game card that already has art
• Fixed new cards being lost if you added them before the mod was first saved

Improvements

• Card art is now kept at full resolution while you adjust position sliders - compression only happens when you save
• Save Mod no longer closes the editor - it flashes a "Saved!" confirmation instead
• Custom variants from all active mods now appear in the Rules tab pull-rate section, labeled with the mod they come from
• The Sets panel in mod Settings now lists base game sets and any sets added by active mods, grouped by source

v0.2.0 - Modding Update

Mod Manager

• New Mod Manager under Tools in the sidebar - create, edit, enable/disable, export, and import mod packages
• Live card preview in the editor - every change to name, rarity, hue, border color, art, and variant reflects on the card instantly
• Custom art upload with scale and offset sliders so you can position the image exactly where you want it
• Override any base game card variant independently - change the Gold Full Art without touching the Holo
• Rules tab to tune money multipliers, market values, day speed, starting cash, per-rarity value multipliers, per-variant pull weights, and employee stats
• Variants tab to design fully custom card finishes - background style, foil tier, color tint, holo pattern, and layout toggles
• Grading tab to rename companies, override costs and turnaround times, set grade value multipliers, and tune chaos and black label chances
• Sync Game rebuilds the card pool and refreshes the marketplace and all mod-dependent screens immediately
• Export mods as .feebaymod files for sharing and import them with drag-and-drop

Steam Workshop

• Publish mods directly to the Workshop with title, description, tags, visibility, and a preview image
• Browse, install, and update Workshop mods without leaving the game
• Installed Workshop mods update automatically when Steam downloads a new version
• Locked mods can be played by subscribers but only edited by the original creator

v0.1.30 - Grading Fixes, Cracking Tweaks, and Bucket Updates

Grading

• New - InstaGrader (Business Level 5, $100,000) - after cracking a slab you can send the raw card straight to any grading company right from the result screen, no need to dig through inventory. If you don't own the upgrade yet, the grading buttons show as locked with a purchase button below them. Business level requirement shows as red and disabled with a tooltip.
• Bucket mislabels - roughly 10% of Bucket grades come back with a different creature name printed on the slab label. The real card art and grade are unchanged; only the name is wrong. Your inventory flags it with "(mislabel?)" and the grading reveal calls it out with a yellow warning. The mislabeled name shows everywhere the slab appears - inspector, zoom view, listings.
• Chaos % on grading company cards is now hidden when Chaos Mode is off. When active, the percentage shows in green.
• Grader employee rules now support condition, variant, and rarity filters - same multi-select pill style as Flipper and Scout tabs.
• Fixed auth-failed cards (fake cards sent to grading) landing as slabs in inventory - they now correctly return as raw cards with the AUTH FAIL overlay.
• Fixed the "graded by employee" indicator showing on all graded slabs including ones bought by Flippers - it now only lights up when your Grader actually graded the card.
• Fixed chaos rolls firing in the card inspector when Chaos Mode was off.
• Fixed Bulk Grade Reveal height jumping mid-animation - the grade and profit row now reserves its space so the Skip button stays put.

Cracking

• The crack confirm screen now shows a real warning - your exact damage chance based on current upgrades, your current rep and where it lands after cracking, and an honest assessment of what you're about to do to a perfectly good slab.
• Cracking a slab now costs 0.5% rep instead of 5% - still a slight ding, but you're not bankrupting your reputation over it.
• Pneumatic Cracking Press damage floor raised to 2% - even pressurized air can have a bad day. Upgrade description updated to match.
• Crack damage warning now shows your actual % based on current upgrades instead of the old hardcoded "~15%".

Inventory

• Raw, Grading, and Graded filter buttons now show a card count badge, same as Showcase.

Shop / Employee Stock

• Employee stock now shows an empty state message when your Scout hasn't sourced any cards yet, instead of hiding the section entirely.

Storefront

• Fixed card values in active listings showing a different number than the employee stock and Shop views - all three now use the same live market calculation instead of the storefront staying frozen at the price from when you listed.

UI / Other

• Tooltips now have a 0.5 second delay before appearing - fixes tooltips getting stuck on screen when your mouse passes through buttons quickly. Applies to all three tooltip systems in the app.

Grading

• Grading company buttons are now styled as distinct logo badges - ZAG in dark blue, PZA in crimson, Bucket in amber. Free voucher shows up as a gold "FREE" badge right alongside them
• Black Label now has its own chip in Grade History and Grade Distribution so you can see how many you've pulled at a glance
• The card inspector shows when a chaos roll bumped or dumped your grade
• Grade potential in the card inspector now reflects the actual score used for that specific copy - condition + centering + print quality combined. Was showing a generic static number before
• Card print quality now has a small influence on grading (15%) - cards with known printing issues are slightly harder to gem even in perfect condition
• Centering now enforces hard grade caps the same way condition does. Badly off-center cards are capped - only well-centered cards can hit 9.5 or 10
• Bucket was dumping grade 1s way too often on decent cards. Near Mint cards now floor at 3, Lightly Played at 2 - only Played and below can crater to a 1
• Bulk Reveal now pauses on black label pulls instead of auto-advancing - you can't accidentally click past one
• Fixed black label styling not showing correctly in the reveal animation
• Fixed chaos 10s being eligible for black label - a lucky chaos flip shouldn't count
• Fixed the grading reveal queue getting permanently stuck if you sold a card before clicking Continue on its result
• Selling a card with an unrevealed grade is now blocked with a warning - previously it would silently corrupt the reveal queue
• Fixed the reveal animation occasionally skipping the flip when revealing multiple cards back-to-back
• New - Chaos Grading Module (level 4, $5,000) - unlocks a Chaos toggle on the Grading page. When on, every submission gets a random grade shift after the normal roll - usually +-1 grade, sometimes +-2, and rarely a flip to a 1 or 10. Works on all companies. Toggle persists between sessions and there's a tooltip on the ? explaining exactly what it does

Employees

• New - Grader employee - automatically pulls raw cards from employee stock and grades them using your unlocked companies. The card shows which card is actively being graded and which company is handling it
• Grader speed slowed down - was too fast out of the gate. Rookie is now 45s per card, Pro 30s, Veteran 18s
• Grader profit now shows the actual value change from grading - the difference between raw value going in and graded value coming out. Positive means the grade helped, negative means it hurt
• Employee Rules modal is now tabbed by role (Scout / Flipper / Grader) so each one has its own dedicated settings panel
• Grader rules - set a card value range and choose which companies it's allowed to use
• Flipper rules - new Raw / Graded toggle so you can restrict what the Flipper sells. Useful if you want to hold raws back for re-grading
• Flipper sell delay slider now steps in 10s increments instead of 30s
• Scout-sourced cards no longer automatically register in the Codex - they go into employee stock without counting as "owned". New level 6 upgrade "Staff Codex Integration" ($500k) re-enables this if you want it

Inventory

• New search bar - filter by card name, rarity, condition, or tag
• "List @ price" is now a split button - if you have listing defaults saved the main button instantly lists at those settings. The gear always opens the full modal to adjust. Raw and graded have separate defaults
• Fixed Sell All playing a sound for every single card when selling large batches - now one sound, one summary notification

Marketplace

• Make an Offer reworked - number input alongside the slider so you can type an exact amount, accepted offers close the modal immediately, counter offers show an inline Accept button
• Binder and booster pack listings now have their own dedicated art
• Lot listings (binders, mystery lots, slab bags, etc.) no longer show single-card fields like Rarity, Condition, or Centering
• New "New cards only" filter when Codex Scanner is active - hides cards you already own so you can spot collection gaps
• Auto-refresh countdown timer added to the marketplace header
• Raw / Graded / Lots category filter now supports multi-select
• Three new slab cracking upgrades - Cracking Tool Kit ($600, level 2), Cracking Station ($3,000, level 3), Pneumatic Cracking Press ($75,000, level 6). Each one drops card damage chance by 5%, bottoming out at 0%
• Cracking a slab now costs 5% rep - the collector community is not a fan

Shop

• Storefront customization now supports photo upload - uses the same crop tool as employee photos (drag to pan, scroll to zoom). Falls back to your chosen icon automatically if the image is ever unavailable
• Shop photo now shows in the Employees page header too, not just the Shop page
• Added a Packs tab in the sidebar - coming soon teaser for a future update where you'll be able to buy and open booster packs directly

Storage Units

• Buffed across the board - more cards per unit, guaranteed Holo Rare+ count doubled, and fake card rate dropped from 5% to 2%

General

• Space or Enter now skips lot opening animations. Press again to confirm adding everything to inventory
• Fixed the day timer jumping backwards after reloading from a paused session - pausing now saves immediately so the game reloads exactly where you left off, paused or not
• Fixed listings expiring early after reloading from a paused session (same root cause as above)
• Switching tabs now always scrolls back to the top
• Active convention badge in the top bar is now subtle - hover it to see the boosted tags, boost %, and time remaining
• Locked only filter on the Achievements page now saves when you switch tabs

Removals

• Removed "Bundle Boss" achievement and "Bundles sold" stat - replaced with "Black Labels obtained"
• Removed bundle selling from inventory - Sell All with configurable rules covers this better

Other Fixes

• Fixed "Sold a million fakes" achievement not unlocking from walk-in storefront sales
• Showcase now rotates randomly when you have more than 60 cards in it instead of always showing the same first 60

v0.1.26 - Launch Update 3

Employees

• Compact view toggle on the roster - reduces each card to a single row showing name, status, and profit. Persists across sessions
• Compact roster view now shows an Upgrade button to the right of the XP bar so you can train without switching to the full card view
• Roster re-arrange mode - drag cards to reorder in both full and compact view
• Team Stats modal - shows concrete cycle times, mistake rates, and what upgrading each employee would improve; displays the employee's custom avatar if one is set
• Employee Customize modal - rename an employee, train them to the next tier, or upload a custom photo avatar (stored locally, falls back to role icon if missing). Avatar upload includes a drag-to-pan, scroll-to-zoom crop tool
• Employee Rules modal now accessible from both the roster header gear button and the Scout stock filter row
• Sell delay slider in Employee Rules (Flipper section) - new cards must age for 0-5 minutes before the Flipper is allowed to sell them
• Store stock cards show a live countdown badge when a sell delay is active and the Flipper would otherwise sell the card
• Store stock cards show a lock icon when the Flipper's rules permanently exclude them (variant, rarity, or price restriction)
• Store stock sort, variant filter, and pagination settings now persist across tab changes
• Recent sort toggle added to the store stock filter row - sits to the right of the divider and stacks with the active primary sort as a tiebreaker; primary sort buttons are now deselectable (no selection = sort by most recently acquired by default)

Inventory

• Replaced bundle mode with a two-button Sell All control - a main button to execute and a gear button to configure rules
• Sell All rules let you set min/max value thresholds and exclude specific variants, rarities, or card status (raw/graded) from being sold
• When no rules are saved both buttons open the config modal; the config modal includes a review step showing matched card count and estimated profit before saving
• Once configured the Sell All button fires immediately without an extra prompt
• Sell All only applies to raw or graded, unsold, non-showcased cards in your personal inventory

Shop

• Employee stock section added directly to the Shop page - display Scout-sourced cards without leaving the tab
• Sort, variant filter, and pagination added to both the personal stock and employee stock grids to prevent lag with large inventories
• "Stock to display" section renamed to "Your inventory"
• Recent sort added to both stock filter rows as a secondary toggle - stacks with the selected primary sort as a tiebreaker; primary sort buttons are deselectable (no selection = recent by default)
• Default page size is now 10 across all paginated stock grids
• Fixed: newest card highlight ring was misaligned on graded slabs (gap on left and right sides)

Grading

• Bucket Black Label: a rare outcome (~5% chance) when Bucket grades a card 10 - the slab upgrades to a black label, carrying a massive value premium (roughly 11x on top of the normal grade-10 multiplier). Black label slabs display a distinctive all-black case with gold lettering.

Window / Settings

• Ctrl+- and Ctrl++ now zoom the window symmetrically in both directions (previously Ctrl++ did nothing on Windows keyboards)
• Zoom level shown as a notification in the activity feed when changed via keyboard
• Zoom slider added to Dashboard > Settings (75%-150%) - stays in sync with keyboard shortcuts

v0.1.25

Inventory Pagination

• Added pagination to the Inventory screen - large collections no longer render all at once, which should fix lag and stuttering when your inventory grows
• Choose how many cards to show per page: 10, 25, 50, or All
• Page size preference is saved and persists across sessions
• First / prev / next / last navigation controls appear when there are multiple pages
• Changing filter or sort order resets to page 1 automatically

Lot Reveal

• The lot reveal modal now shows a Codex +N chip in the summary footer when any cards from the lot were new additions to your collection

Card Rarity Labels

• Fixed: cards labeled "Holo Rare" now only show that label when the card actually has a holographic finish. Normal and reverse-holo prints of the same creature now correctly show as "Rare" instead

List for Sale

• Added "Save as defaults" and "Reset defaults" buttons to the List for Sale modal - set your preferred marketplace, price percentage, and duration once and it will be pre-filled every time you list a card

Vault Keeper Fix

• Fixed: the Vault Keeper upgrade now correctly stabilizes both raw and graded card values. Previously only graded cards were immune to market noise - raw cards still showed inflated or deflated values from noise fluctuations. All inventory cards now lock to their true baseline value when the Vault Keeper is hired
• Fixed: Vault Dealer listings now price at the noise-free graded value - the price you pay is exactly what the Vault Keeper upgrade shows in your inventory after purchase, with no drop

Card Detail - Market Drift

• Revamped the market drift section on the card detail modal: now shows a dollar value (noise-adjusted base value), a delta vs the start of the chart window, and a properly labeled Y-axis with min/mid/max values - no more unlabeled flat line
• The sparkline is now pre-seeded with a simulated walk when you open the modal, so the chart has data immediately instead of being empty until you watch it for several minutes
• Active trend events that affect the card are now displayed inline inside the drift panel instead of in a separate box

Market Activity

• Market noise now drifts much more visibly - per-card values wander further from baseline (wider drift step, less aggressive mean reversion) so prices feel alive rather than locked near 1.0
• Market noise updates every 7 seconds instead of 12, making value changes more responsive
• Each game session now starts with randomised noise across all cards instead of everything flatlined at 1.0 - the market is already moving on day 1
• Market events fire every 40 seconds minimum instead of 60, so active trends appear more frequently

UI & Navigation

• The Reset Save button has been moved out of the top bar and into Dashboard > Settings, under a clearly labelled Danger Zone section
• The top bar button that was Reset Save is now a gear icon that navigates to the Dashboard and scrolls directly to the Settings panel
• The P key now toggles pause as advertised in the tooltip - previously the shortcut was listed but not wired up

Offline Progress

• Fixed: closing the game no longer lets the day advance while you are away. Time offline is now treated as paused - when you reopen the game it picks up at exactly the same point in the day as when you closed it

v0.1.24 - Launch Update

Listing Improvements

• Manual price input in the "List for sale" modal alongside the slider
• Custom +/- buttons for fine-tuned price adjustments
• Quick-select presets: 50%, 75%, 100%, 130%, 160%, 200% of reference value
• Listing duration picker - Half-day (4 min), 1 day (8 min, default), 2 days, 3 days
• Sale odds panel shows per-minute chance and total chance for the full duration
• Fixed pricing above 1.6x reference no longer hard-cuts to 0% sell chance - now scales smoothly to near-zero

Grading Screen Improvements

• Card and slab images in Active Submissions and Recently Graded are now larger and easier to read
• Added zoom/inspect button to every card and slab in the Grading screen - click the magnifier to get the full-screen card detail view

Grading

• Added a cancel button to in-progress grading submissions - click Cancel next to the timer, confirm the prompt, and the card returns to your inventory as raw. The grading fee is forfeited
• Fixed "Reveal All" did nothing after pausing and unpausing the game - grading timestamps now use game time consistently across all reveal paths
• Grading submission timers now pause and resume correctly alongside the rest of the game
• Grade 0 (authentication failure) now displays as "Auth Failed" in the grade distribution on the Grading and Stats screens
• The "best grade" stat no longer counts auth failures toward your personal best

Bulk Reveal Improvements

• Added an animated scrolling card marquee to the Reveal All summary screen - your graded slabs scroll past sorted by grade
• Fixed the marquee now loops seamlessly with no visible snap or seam at the end
• Fixed "Best of the run" label was showing the grading company name twice (e.g. "ZAG ZAG GEM 10")
• Removed the redundant gem count line from the summary screen

Inventory Fixes

• Fixed sorting by Condition could display cards out of order when condition label tiers overlap in score. Sort now groups by label tier first, then uses score as a tiebreaker within the same tier

Pause System Fixes

• Pausing the game now correctly freezes online listing timers and progress bars
• Pausing now freezes grading submission timers and progress bars in the Grading screen
• Net Worth chart no longer samples new data points while paused
• Company Profit chart no longer scrolls while paused
• Live charts now show a red "Paused" badge and a green "Live" badge dynamically
• Fixed "Claim All" on the Achievements screen could be used while paused

Marketplace Fixes

• Fixed FeeBay withdrawal fee was being charged on top of each marketplace's own transaction fee, causing double-dipping. Storefront withdrawals are now fee-free - the only fees you pay are the ones shown at listing time

New Card Variant - Black

• Added a Black variant print for all cards that have a Rainbow variant (Holo Rare, Secret Rare, Mythic Rare, Error Print, Signed, and Prototype Card rarities)
• Black cards feature a matte black finish, a cool silver border, and a tiling silver crosshatch pattern across the card face
• Creature art is partially desaturated with a drifting silver sheen, giving them a dark metallic feel
• Priced above Rainbow and below Full Art on the secondary market; similarly scarce and volatile
• Appears as a mystery slot in the Collection until you pull one

Collection

• Added a Binders teaser below the Showcase - shows a rendered mini binder (spine, rings, cover, FeeBay label) as a preview of the upcoming binder system for organizing your collection

Economy

• Grade 1 slabs now carry a novelty collector premium - a legitimate card that grades a 1 is a curiosity item worth far more than its condition implies, roughly equivalent to a grade 6-8

Upgrades

• All active perks in the Marketplace sidebar can now be toggled on/off individually - click any perk row to flip it. Affects listing card display and Deal Bot picks in real time. Persists across sessions

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Vault Dealer listings showed an inflated true value that didn't match the card's inventory value after purchase - now uses the same pricing formula as daily deals
• Vault Dealer listing descriptions are now dynamic - 28 unique lines across serious, underground, and dry-funny tones, each referencing the specific card name, grade, and company
• Fixed listing a graded card for sale displayed its value as if it were ungraded - grade multiplier now applies correctly whether the card is in inventory, listed, or anywhere else

Mod Safety

• Broken creature mods can no longer cause a permanent white screen on startup - if a mod crashes during loading or rendering, it is automatically disabled and the game recovers
• A full error report is shown in Dashboard > Settings under the Creature Mods section so mod authors can diagnose what went wrong
• Your save data is always preserved; only the broken mod is removed

UI & Navigation

• Cash stat in the top bar now shows a tooltip on hover explaining what it is and showing any pending storefront payout
• Reputation stat in the top bar now shows a tooltip with a full marketplace unlock breakdown and a progress bar to the next unlock

Tutorial Fixes

• Fixed clicking the showcase button during the "Inspect your card" tutorial step accidentally advanced the tutorial without opening the card detail
• Bundle mode is now hidden during the tutorial to prevent breaking the card-inspect step
• Sell / List / Grade buttons are hidden during the tutorial to prevent accidental tutorial advances
