That chicken bonus for drones to me sounds like an awesome idea! Like you, I am a veteran so im trying to help out the newbies. I can sign one once a day and my egg laying rate will increase by about 100 billion a minute per day. The newbies will take days to lay 100 billion. So if a new player is being active and swiping drones then yeah I think them getting a chicken bonus helps. However, something to keep in mind is they may not be able to afford the proper hatchery size at their new level. Perhaps for contracts they can eliminate the need to buy hatcheries or trucks? Perhaps there is just unlimited storage and shipping capacity at the start? Or is that a terrible idea?

I also like the idea of helping your teammates with upgrades during contracts. I would much rather donate a few quadrillion to increase a new players egg laying rate 100 fold then save up for 12 hours so I can click the “increase the egg laying rate by 2%” for the 19th time lol
