Hidden Champion – Patch Notes
This update significantly expands the core gameplay: from now on, you will no longer manage just a single product, but two different products at the same time. In addition, several building mechanics have been reworked, tooltips have been improved, translations have been updated, and numerous bugs have been fixed.
Features
Two Different Products
From this update onward, you will have to manage two different products at the same time.
Production, storage, and delivery must now be planned separately for both products.
Managing your available production capacity therefore becomes more important.

The additional complexity makes the expansion and organization of your locations more important than before.

Building effects and bonuses are now presented more clearly.
The different building configurations are now displayed and applied correctly.
Production Lines
Production lines now play a more important role due to the introduction of the second product.
Production lines can be adjusted to produce the required products.
Several production line actions have been improved.
Tooltips have been updated for:
Retooling production lines

Stopping production lines
Selling production lines
The effects of these actions are now explained more clearly.
