Greetings, Station Managers.
Version 1.5.1 is a bug fix update that resolves several critical issues with prestige progression not saving correctly. If you've experienced lost R&D upgrades, achievements, or tutorials resetting after prestige, this update is for you.
Prestige System Fixes
We've fixed multiple issues where player progress was being lost after performing a prestige reset.
R&D Wing Persistence
Fixed R&D Wing upgrades not persisting across prestige resets
Fixed Research Points being lost after prestige
R&D data is now properly saved to prestige checkpoint and restored on reload
R&D Upgrades Now Work Correctly
Fixed R&D wing upgrades having no effect (they were writing to non-existent properties)
Construction speed bonus now properly applied when building decks
Token gain multiplier now properly applied during prestige calculation
Rush hour frequency reduction now properly applied between rush hours
Global production multipliers now function correctly
Fixed prestige unlocking at Deck 5 instead of Deck 6 as intended
