- Added Omnitemple recipes, which produce Star Coins
- Star Coins are used for Infinite Research, which appear when Omnitemple is created
- Added Infinite Research (which can be completed any number of times for cumulative bonuses at an increasingly large cost) for: Crafting Speed, Omnitemple Speed, Mana Reactor Productivity, and Natural Resource Regeneration
- Research panel and Buildings shows time remaining in research / construction
- Added new Research & Building: Minecart. Minecarts do not require Land, they do require a Worker, and provide a passive 5% bonus to all Prospecting
- Added new Research & Building: Steam Train Engine. Trains require Land and a Worker, and provide a passive 10% bonus to all Trading. It requires both Rail Tile and Steam Engine research, and requires completion of a Quest to earn Exchange Coins (which itself is unlocked once Trading is unlocked)
- Fixed some building-specific upgrades being available too early on town resets (prerequesite quest remains completed on town reset, but the building research is not)
- Removed Quests that unlocked Prospecting for ores / minerals. Prospecting is now available immediately as soon as the natural resource & the correct Mine building is unlocked
- Several support buildings no longer require land, some of them require multiple plots of land, and some require a Worker (e.g. Tractor does not take up Land but requires a Worker, Farm now requires 2 Land)
- Decreased XP growth for buildings, but increased baseline XP value
- Decreased construction time growth for buildings, but increased baseline construction time
- Fixed ingredient icons sometimes showing a regular status when they were in fact limiting the recipe
- Hid Minigames, for now (needs more development time but other items are more of a priority)
- Idle Gain is now a Global Perk. Each level of the perk adds 6 hours of potential idle progress while game is closed. All idle progress is still worth 25% of normal in-game progress
- Fixed missing Icon and localization for Gem Jewelry research
- Locked and Completed research is shown on the Research panel
- Research tooltip shows a list of requirements to unlock the research
- Improved default research display order
- Fixed incorrect tooltip wording on Mana Power Drills, Mana Power Packager, and Mana Power Tractor upgrades
- Removed ‘Mana Power Packager’ upgrade, replaced with Magic Conveyor Belt building which boosts Packager effects
- Added Magic Rail Tile buildings, which boost the effect of Minecarts and Steam Trains
- Wood, Stone, and Grain processing speed upgrade levels are worth (2x / 3x / 4x) multipliers instead of (2x / 4x / 8x)
- Changed many research costs & dependencies
- Added Steam Pipe research, which requires Machinery and unlocks Steam Generator
- Advanced Magic Tome requires Mana Ether instead of Magic Shirt
- Added research for Nails, Reinforced Planks, Wood Axes and Pickaxes, instead of Quests
- Cotton research requires Workshop, not Town Level 5
