- Dev Note: I know that with more than half of the 50M Neon Party event items being skins, many people will want an option to equip and unequip these skins. Please be informed that this feature will come in a future update. Initially, it was supposed to be added in this update, but due to unexpected technical difficulties with adding the feature, it has been delayed. For the meantime, the only way to apply skins to already-purchased refinery items is to rejoin, and there is no way to unequip skins. We are very sorry for this inconvenience.

Changes & Improvements
- Significantly reduced Tycoon Bux requirements for Researching
- Dev Note: Tycoon Bux requirements were added in the Research N’ Achievements update to prevent players from maxing out to the max level quickly before we release the upcoming expansions. It was never intended to be a permanent requirement. Since then, there have been changes with Tycoon Bux and the codes that now give significantly less of this currency. Apart from that, we’ve added a “Reset Tycoon Data” option which allows maxed-out players to start again for an achievement and Tycoon Bux. Because of these, and because Tycoon Bux is supposed to be a premium currency, we’ve decided to further reduce Tycoon Bux requirements for researching. In the future when more or all expansions are finally out, there will no longer be Tycoon Bux requirements.
- Major UI improvements / changes
- Game now uses the Robux and Tycoon Bux icons instead of “Robux”, “R$”, “Tycoon Bux”, and “T$”
- Text size is now more consistent across UI screens and screen sizes
- If the item name is too long, it will now go on two or more lines while retaining the same text size
- If the item description is too long, it will now allow you to scroll through the description with the same text size instead of making the text size smaller and cutting it off with an ellipsis.
- You will now be redirected to the Tycoon Bux shop if you try to purchase bags while having insufficient Tycoon Bux
- Tweaked tooltip
- Premium Screen
- The Premium screen has been made More Beautiful™!
- The shirt icons now have less file size for faster loading and less storage use
- Settings
- Feedback Screen is now located in the Gameplay screen
- There is now a minimum requirement of 1h play time in order to send feedbacks.
- Interface Size setting now uses a slider
- Improved Settings screen design / colors
- Research
- Improved Research screen design / colors
- Research buttons are now hidden and replaced with a label saying that you need to complete the requirements if you cannot research
- The Refinery Upgrade Shop is now locked if you are on Level 1
- Research requirements now have “X” and checkmark icons before them to indicate whether they are fulfilled or not instead of relying solely on colors
- This step was made in order to make the game more colorblind-friendly. If there are other sections of the game that aren’t colorblind-friendly, please let us know via the Feedback System!
- Tweaked bag opening animation design

- Renamed the title bar of “Ore Tycoon 2 Menu” to “Shop & Inventory” to be consistent and accurate
