Steam Patch Notes — Mid-Game Overhaul + Research UI Upgrade + End-Tier Unlock

On Steam

Mid-Game Event Rebalance

The mid-game has been fully re-tuned to feel fairer, punchier, and more consistently rewarding.

  • Rebalanced middle-tier events to reduce abrupt difficulty spikes.

  • Smoothed out the harshest RNG swings so outcomes feel less “all-or-nothing.”

  • Reworked reward scaling to better match the risk and your current progression.

  • Improved event pacing so the mid-game now transitions more cleanly into late-game power growth.

Research Improvements — UI Fix Pass

Research is now cleaner, clearer, and more reliable.

  • Fixed multiple research UI issues affecting display, refresh behavior, and interaction.

  • Improved consistency of research state updates after unlocks/purchases.

  • Cleaned up UI behavior to prevent misclicks, overlap, and blocked interactions.

Progression Fix — Final Upgrade Tier Now Reachable

This one is critical: if you were previously blocked from the top end of progression, that’s now resolved.

  • Fixed an issue where some players could not access the final upgrade tier.

  • Corrected progression gating so requirements and unlock flow behave as intended.

  • Added protections to prevent edge cases that could permanently lock progression.

Additional Polish

  • General stability improvements.

  • Minor fixes across UI and progression flow.
