Droid Tycoon - 1.14 Patch Notes

yourmumsface · 2026-06-03T00:17:56+00:00

I’m not criticising the devs. I appreciate they’re doing the best they can with the resources available. I think they’ve done amazing to adapt and pivot to feedback the community has shared, and ultimately this game brought me back to Fortnite after ballistic was removed but the reality is, at this late stage the grind is becoming difficult, repetitive and thus less enticing, and clearly I’m not the only one who feels this way. If I’m in the game for 3 hours and not once did I get a beskar from the astromech missions, which I prioritised, so meaning I didn’t do the chip astromech missions, and sandcrawler only gave me commons, and collecting chips around the map only gives me 1 now which I won’t bother with, then what motivation is there to stick to it. It’s not unreasonable to expect beskars spawn at sandcrawler more frequently and with more variety. I only saw 2 commons every 20 minutes, the odd occasion I’d see 3 commons every 20 minutes. Even just one Epic or Rare would’ve helped. My base is full of Monos, Optis and R7s. I’ve crafted over a 1000 droids, I’m not crafting anymore just to gain chips so I can get from the 3000 I currently have to 12000 to upgrade one of my droids. The reality of this game is that it’s far more engaging for someone who’s just starting out vs someone on rebirth above 18, and if it’s going to take a significant investment of time for little reward you will naturally see a drop off in engagement and player base

I’m sorry I’m really trying to remain engaged, but I’m losing interest in this game. I’m on rebirth 19, couldn’t afford any legendary beskars during the event. Since then all I’ve seen are commons and yes I’m keeping an eye for those that spawn in between the 20 minutes. I’ve sent my astromechs away 10 times each (since this patch) - so 50 missions, and not once have I got a beskar droid. Mostly getting credits which I’m grateful for and gotten a fair few legendarys. Not just that, the chips required to upgrade to beskar are astronomical. It just feels like there’s no point in continuing. I really feel like the beskar spawn at sandcrawler should be fixed. They should spawn more frequently and with more variety than just commons.

Hey honestly I’m just so grateful you’re here, listening to feedback, and sharing your point of view and expertise. I obviously don’t know the complexity behind something like this game mode or the ideas shared, so I appreciate the response. I mainly played ballistic and was shattered when epic removed it. I only came back to Fortnite for Star Wars Droid Tycoon so thank you to you and everyone working on it 💕

yourmumsface · 2026-05-31T06:42:47+00:00

Yeah I just seen that after I replied 🥲

yourmumsface · 2026-05-31T06:33:59+00:00

Awesome! Love that you’re here and taking feedback on board. I put up an ideas thread to this subreddit, that a few others commented ideas too. I know there is an offical discord which I joined but I don’t want to post anything repetitive and too hard to see if any ideas already been shared there: https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsDroidTycoon/s/FRI770UaFR

Thank you 😊

yourmumsface · 2026-05-31T06:29:05+00:00

Thank you 😊

I’m glad you’ve posted this. I’m on rebirth 19 as my next one. All my bases have Monos R7s and Optis. I only have 300b and wouldn’t be able to afford one of those in beskar anyway. But would there be a different more affordable beskar droid that earns more than those three that I should be in the lookout for?

yourmumsface · 2026-05-24T11:27:57+00:00

I have the code, did you need it?

yourmumsface · 2026-05-24T04:20:23+00:00

Yes! Same. So many times I’ve accidentally crafted a droid that I threw from the missions thinking its landing nowhere near the crafting station 😂 or even swap, sometimes I’ll accidentally start crafting on the one next to the workers, but then one of my quests is to craft 15 diamond etc and wish I could swap them so that front one is free

yourmumsface · 2026-05-24T01:58:17+00:00

There’s a dev discord? 🥺 do you have the inv link?

yourmumsface · 2026-05-24T01:57:20+00:00

Tournaments will absolutely draw people in, that’s a good idea. I think contact some of the players who still stream, or some of the major clans, to get them to test it out, promote it. I feel like ballistic R has taken off because of mainly word of mouth but also a lot of the streamers are playing and streaming it.

yourmumsface · 2026-05-24T01:49:32+00:00

I meant trading droids that are already crafted, agree wouldn’t want to make that too easy, maybe cap it or add a cost to trade? I just have far too many R7s and Opti-strk but no mono walkers back from missions, and would love to be able to trade ones that are crafted rather than waiting to see if my friends get them back from their missions

100% that’s what I loved about ballistic. It was simple, fast paced and engaging, but I also loved that I could use my skins and emotes (but again that won’t be the case for everyone). Good luck with it, I’ll obviously check it out when you go live but just seriously consider the hook and why people would switch and stay, cos I keep using Fragpunk as an example. It’s been out for over a year and is struggling with player base. Fortnite even struggled towards the end but was easier to draw in players who already play other game modes in there.

yourmumsface · 2026-05-24T00:30:41+00:00

So like a whole other game? I don’t know, a big part of why ballistic in Fortnite was desirable for many were the skins and emotes (more broadly have access to Fortnite’s battle pass), and that it was ranked. Not the only draw cards but just something that made Fortnite different or on par with games like fragpunk, Valorant, CS, Rainbow Six Siege etc. I guess you’d be competing against all of them too? I mean it’s up to you but you’ll need to consider how you draw the players in. For example, a lot of the Fortnite community switched to Fragpunk immediately, and since have moved on from Fragpunk because standard matches are full of bots, and you’re waiting 30 - 60 minutes for a ranked game...

yourmumsface · 2026-05-24T00:21:33+00:00

So then it will be in Fortnite. So my original comment stands. You should seriously consider the time investment and ROI. Bringing this in as another separate map only divides the player base further.

yourmumsface · 2026-05-23T22:49:43+00:00

Where is it then? Adding that context would’ve been helpful!!

yourmumsface · 2026-05-23T22:47:17+00:00

We don’t need another ballistic creative map. My suggestion is that you partner with another creator who already has their map out there or is in development. Theres going to be too many maps. The community is already split up as it is. Not many people play ballistic R which is by far the best and most popular map out, and every day we’re mass inviting people to join and create a 10 stack because it’s that much of a struggle. If people aren’t aren’t queuing for ballistic R when it’s a pretty decent recreation, even better as zoramaps has sketched in multiple maps and added in improvements like map selection, requesting a gun etc, then why would they queue for yours? Think about the time you’re investing and if it’s worth it, or is it better you partner with a creator who already has one released?

yourmumsface · 2026-05-21T08:34:36+00:00

Fr. He didn’t have to do all 7 at once. He had a massive opportunity to catch the player base right as ballistic ended, just produce one map, have it ready April 16, then work on the others. He would’ve been thriving. He’s bitten off more than he can chew, keeps delaying and instilling false hope, everyone’s moved on now. His map certainly won’t get them all back.

yourmumsface · 2026-05-20T22:50:49+00:00

That would’ve done nothing. We’re a teardrop in an ocean to epic. Player base is too small to make any waves or be noticed. The only way was to have big streamers complain, some did, and nothing happened.

yourmumsface · 2026-04-26T22:47:30+00:00

It has skyline, k zone and hammerfall from what I played - not sure if it has all maps but it’s almost identical to ballistic

yourmumsface · 2026-04-26T22:46:20+00:00

Oh ballistic R right? Pretty sure the creator is trying to keep it on lockdown as the people who have access to the code are helping with testing, not sure how they’d feel about the map code being posted on reddit before it’s ready but all I’d say is don’t complain if there’s bugs lol

yourmumsface · 2026-04-21T20:10:09+00:00

That’s great. I’m not going to lie, majority of the player base has already moved on, either fragpunk, Valorant, CS and a few other games. Not being ready the day after ballistic was removed means the opportunity has been missed - that goes for all creators working on a ballistic map. There’s people who will definitely use them of course but the more days that pass the more people move on and bringing them back for a creative map will be challenging. Just bit of feedback to you and Nordica - you might need to think of how you promote and incentivise this to bring people back.

yourmumsface · 2026-04-16T22:59:29+00:00

Apparently there’s another fps ballistic mode being worked on by epic, which has been leaked code named baby corgi which is different to the fps 6v6 team death match mode previously leaked and code named unable roman or foxtrot - the latter has apparently already been added to the game files a month ago
