 ## Gameplay
-- Harvest time now 5.2 seconds, from 3.125 seconds, making full saturation ~1.5 workers per node instead of ~2 (c. Veeq7)
-	- This change is meant to reinstate diminishing returns on adding additional workers per patch, adding more value to the initial worker on any given node
-	- This also makes expansions more valuable, reduces the impact of distant resource nodes, and slows down the economic pacing - its impact is significant and will be evaluated!
+- Harvest time now 4.8 seconds, from 3.125 seconds
+- Workers no longer accelerate or decelerate
+	- These changes are meant to reinstate diminishing returns on adding additional workers per patch, adding more value to the initial worker on any given node when compared to the second worker
+	- This also makes expansions more valuable, reduces the negative impact of distant resource nodes, slows down the early economic pacing, and makes workers more responsive - its impact is significant and will need to be evaluated!
 
 ## AI
 - Gas-only expansions will no longer request production
