Titan Tuesday: Patch 0.18.0
Tech Tree
Changes as of 0.18.0
🪐 indicates changes due to community feedback!

New Building: Science Lab

- Additional employees assigned to higher level science labs will increase the speed that research is completed
- Connecting a science lab will increase the efficiency of each employee working inside
New Device: Reinforcement Pillar

🪐 Building Blueprints!
- You asked for it, we delivered! Buildings can now have blueprints that you can save just like with ships! Like with ship blueprints, please note that you will need all your resources up front to be able to use a building blueprint
- Increased the number of blueprint slots available
- Important note: Because we have placed some devices in the tech tree (namely on ships), blueprints using those devices will not always be available for use until you’ve managed to unlock the device in the tech tree of the game you’re currently playing. We are currently brainstorming ways to solve this design oversight!
