Upgrading from +32 to +34 has lowered power gained. I could get to CR27 before but now I can only make it to CR25. It seems that completing whole cycles causes more time to be wasted for the same power generated. I understand from other comments that once you get the 'Charge Up' upgrade that the cycles increase your energy production but I think cycles aren't supposed to decrease your production and is therefore an issue that could be fixed. Otherwise the game seems promising and I'm looking forward to updates
