Hello, fellow CEOs! (v0.908.3) – Patch shipped yesterday 🎉
Patch 0.908.3 went live yesterday with hiring balance tweaks, safer UI, and cleaner event timing. We are also deep into a research revamp. Updates will not be weekly from now on so we leave enough time for testing and QA.
Highlights

Tune salaries for clarity: default markup set to 0%, market rate equals the real average, and the floor is now 20% below market. Should we make it 100% below?
Stop accidental actions: block multi-stand purchases from spam clicks and restrict double-click-to-load to the loading screen.
Fix event timing and duplication so countdowns do not go negative and news panels behave.
Achievements: update Steady Eddie to track a 5% or higher worker salary markup so progress reflects real pay decisions.
New features & improvements
Worker Salary: validate slider minimum and maximum values so rounding near the minimum does not jump your setting.
Ensure the Research tab title always displays so navigation stays consistent.
Double click to load works on the loading screen only to avoid accidental triggers elsewhere.
On load, publish post-news activation events for cash events so information panels refresh correctly.
Balance
Set default worker salary markup to 0%. In case you forget to the set it, you are not penalized.
Make the market benchmark 100% of average salary (was 105%) so “market rate” equals the true average. They are now happy with market rate salary.
Cap minimum salary at 20% below market (was 25%) to reduce extreme under-pay.
Fixes
Events expire on time instead of counting into negative days.
Prevent reactivation of saved active cash events when loading a game.
Stability: make goal transitions safer behind the scenes to reduce rare edge cases.
