Patch 0.15.2 - New "Right To Trade" System for Easier Save Transfer

- Right To Trade: To enable save file transfer between devices and prevent abuse, a new right to trade mechanism has been introduced. You can export multiple save files but only one can have the right to trade. In headquarter, you can choose to backup your save (right to trade remains) or transfer your save (right to trade goes with the save file). If you import a save that has the right to trade, you will not be subject to any cooldown at all - this should make transferring save across devices much easier. If you import a save that doesn't have the right to trade, you will not be able to trade from that save. However, you can force restoring the right to trade on that save but you will be subject to cooldown (N^N hour, N = number of force restore in the last 30 days). In headquarter, you can check whether your current save has the right to trade
- Expansion 2 Playtest: Replacing São Paulo with Rio de Janeiro
- Expansion 2 Playtest: New Map - Istanbul (Tower Defense Mode)
There are 140 resources, 197 factories, 59 policies, 18 maps and 52 achievements available in this version

Also, I am asked about Steam Deck support. The game has a "native" Linux build - so it should run on Steam Deck. The UI works with touch screen devices (like mobile phones). Although I have no devkit and Valve hasn't tested the game officially (I assume we are a niche group). If any of you have access to Steam Deck, feel free to test it and let me know if there's any issue.

Community25 Jul 2026Server Sustainability UpdateIndustry Idle's server will soon enter its sixth year of service. Last year, I posted a proposal to reduce server costs. However, the community did not reach a consensus, so I moved on to work on my other games. A month ago, our hosting company increased our server costs by almost 300% . This is devastating for a free-to-play game with optional paid content.

The game has a small but active player base, and the server has been instrumental in keeping the community together. However, running a game server comes with challenges — there are ongoing costs, and maintaining anti-cheat systems (especially for a game available on six different platforms) greatly increases those costs.
