Fixed: The “Innovations” link on project screens was opening Hardware R&D (console tech tree) instead of mechanic research.
Now: Innovations opens the correct screen where you unlock gameplay mechanics for your games. Hardware R&D stays under Console R&D.
Fixed: Studio Upgrades showed 17/18 even though only 17 upgrades exist.
Cause: A hidden deprecated upgrade was still counted in the total.
Now: The counter shows 17/17 when the tree is complete, matching Dashboard and Company Profile.
Fixed: The “No company upgrade in progress” alert could stay forever after you’d unlocked everything.
Now: That alert only appears when upgrades are still available and you’re not researching anything. It clears when the tree is maxed.
Renamed the Tech Tree tab to Innovations for clarity.
Updated links that pointed at the wrong screen (e.g. hardware/innovation cross-links now go to the right places).
Real estate has been reworked so well-maintained properties can appreciate in value while still earning rent, with slower deterioration, true multi-unit buildings, and more late-game depth.
What changed
Condition decay is much slower, especially on rented properties
Deferring maintenance costs; maintenance events are less frequent
Properties can gain market value over time based on city desirability and regional economy
Condition affects value less harshly
Weekly value noise removed — equity moves should feel intentional, not random
Where to see it
Real Estate → Catalog → buy any property
List → Manage on a property
Check Market value, Market appreciation, Cap rate (net), Condition decay
Advance several weeks with the property Rented and funded → value should trend up on maintained units
What changed
Dashboard shows avg cap rate, equity vs invested, and units occupied (for multi-unit holdings)
Occupancy bar includes Partially occupied for multi-unit buildings
Click path
Real Estate → top dashboard cards (Weekly net P&L, Portfolio value, Occupancy)
What changed
New property type: Multi-Unit (multi_family)
Duplexes, triplexes, and 6–8 unit blocks with per-unit tenants
Partial occupancy — some units rented, some vacant
