If you’re addicted to the grind in Droid Tycoon, Insider Gaming has all the details on the latest patch notes.
Complete Star Wars Droid Tycoon v1.06 Patch Notes
The headline change from the latest update to Star Wars Droid Tycoon, which dropped on May 6 with v1.06, is a further buff to the Upgrade Chips grind.
Previously, only obtainable as Daily Mission rewards and by collecting in the overworld, a prior update introduced Upgrade Chips as a reward for selling Gold, Diamond, and Rainbow Droids, and that return has been boosted further, with the amount received increasing.
Additionally, collecting Upgrade Chips in the overworld now yields one to three Upgrade Chips at a time, and the update also buffs Astromech Mission Rewards, Legendary Droid stats, and more.
