Hey, long time lurker, first time poster. I just checked Space Miner again on my iPod and it says my alien tech is 24/25. I only just finished it recently on hardcore though so I noticed it during that playthrough. Was it always out of 25? I can't remember if that was different before the new version, but I can't find any reference to 25 on the net. People always refer to 24, 8 in each difficulty. Am I missing something? Is it a bug? So confused!
From what I remember there are only 8 per difficulty level. Just checked and I also have 24/25. Maybe there is another after you play again after all difficulties? If so maybe it will help me win the "42. Piece of Junk" award.
Ooooh there might be some amazing alien tech that we do now know about. *thinking of all the amazing possibilities* But then again, the developers might have momentarily forgot how to count.
While some of us on the design team are not that great at math, I can assure you the 25th alien tech is very real. There will be more details on how to unlock it soon.
