Howdy Pinies,
We're plowing ahead with more updates that allow players to enjoy the game with different play styles. These enhancements are all from the community's great feedback -- thanks, as always!
(Spoiler Warning: patch notes may contain details of the game not yet experienced by players.)
New Feature
"Fast Forward" buttons can be enabled in the Settings menu. Clicking different times allows players to "fast forward" the game at three time intervals to more quickly reach production, story, or other gameplay objectives. While the game and its idler elements are designed to be enjoyed at the 1x speed, this feature is built for those who want to experience the game without idler parameters.

QoL Improvements
New tooltip has been added for showing how much resources are needed to unlock unknown stories on a character's timeline; hover your cursor over the unknown story to reveal the amount

The "100% game completion" message now reappears via the progress page
[Steam Deck] Continuing to optimize the game for Steam Deck, the Era hotkey glyphs no longer display in Steam Deck Mode
Bugs
Fixed the issue where players have completed in-game achievements but where not receiving the achievement Steam; each time a player loads a game, all achievements in that game will be reprocessed to ensure that those achievements (whether obtain while idle or offline) are recorded on Steam
"In the patches we are found, sayeth Quentin P. Brown."
A big thank you for your support!
