A new update for Bconomy has been released.

=== New Features ===

* <strong>Transmutation Queue.</strong> (TheCarriedOne)
** Refinery <strong>transmutations can now be queued</strong>: while one recipe is running you can line up more to run automatically, and they continue while you’re offline.
** Unlock the queue with the <strong>new Transmutation Queue research</strong>, then buy the <strong>Transmutation Queue upgrade</strong> (5 tiers) to increase how many recipes you can queue from 2 to 10.
** When you queue a step its required <strong>items are reserved from your inventory</strong> (and refunded if you cancel). A queued step’s “max” <strong>assumes earlier queued steps finish</strong>, so you can chain conversions (e.g. green→amber then amber→purple) even if you don’t yet have the intermediate item.
** You can <strong>cancel a single queued step</strong> (any steps that depended on it are dropped and refunded).

=== Improvements ===

* <strong>Mint Bay income and costs.</strong> (TheCarriedOne)
** Mint Bays now <strong>generate BC in proportion to what they cost to build</strong>, each module and level-up pays for itself in a predictable number of days. <strong>Early modules repay fastest</strong>; very deep module counts repay more slowly.
** Overall Mint <strong>income is much higher</strong> (<em>FOR REAL this time</em>) across the board (example: a 100-module max-level bay goes <strong>from &#126;18B to &#126;300B per day</strong>).
** Heat in overclocked mode <strong>increased from 2.5× to 3.5×</strong>.
** Mint modules beyond #100 no longer get ever more expensive: <strong>craft cost levels off</strong> instead of climbing indefinitely. Overpayment was <strong>refunded automatically</strong>.
** Mint modules beyond #350 have the <strong>Salvage cost capped at 25M</strong>.
** Module tooltips now <strong>show each mint module’s actual BC/min contribution</strong>.
** Pending (unclaimed) mint BC that accrued before this update is <strong>preserved at the old rate</strong>; the new rates apply from this update onward.
