Golden Eggs tend to be given out in dozens, just like eggs in real life.
After spending 152,000 Golden Eggs, 6 becomes the new minimum for regular Drones (12 for Elite Drones), rather than 3/6.
Before the Version 1.20.5, videos would give 396.
Golden Eggs can be spent infinitely on Boosts.
Prior to Version 1.21.2, Golden Eggs were referred to in-game as 'Golden Eegs' in locations such as video offers and Random Gifts. This quickly became a running gag in the main Discord server.
- A similar occurrence happened with Grain Silos, wherein the maximum away time was displayed as 'hr hrs' instead of 'hr.'
