SE clearly does not understand the issue with Escutcheons. From the update preview
"Among these changes is an increase to the minimum amount of spheres produced during the Escutcheon-creating process"
All this will do is let the bots finish FASTER as if more spheres are produced per synth, they still will have more synths than normal players who need to eat and sleep.
I'd rather it say "We are adding more staff to the Special Task Force to combat those that are using 3rd party programs"
