Guided first-time tutorial, the intro now walks you through your first working line step by step, the toolbar category you need glows green, each placement pops a little celebration, and finishing the tour pays a 500 coin starter bonus
Locked parts explain themselves, the next part you can unlock in each dropdown now shows what it does and what it takes right in the menu
First-open panel hints, the Tech Tree and Network now greet you with a short "what is this" card the first time you open them, so you are never dropped in cold
Rebirth button on the main screen, a Rebirth button now sits top-right, greyed until every Tech upgrade is maxed, so you never have to go hunting for how to rebirth
Session summary on return, the Welcome Back screen now also shows your current goal, any contract you are holding, and your streak, so you land back in oriented
Eight new achievements, Task Master, On a Roll, Dealmaker, Apprentice, Foreman, Smooth Operator, Goal Getter and Network Mogul
Click feedback on machine tasks, tapping a boost task now fires a cyan ripple right on the machine so the click always registers
Late dropper progression stretched out, Uranium and Diamond droppers now unlock over a longer, steadier climb instead of arriving almost back to back
The Rebirth goal now spells out exactly how to rebirth and points at the new button
Locked menu rows are now compact again with only the next unlock described, so dropdowns never overrun the screen
Flow overlay recoloured to a colourblind friendly palette, and border thickness now signals congestion too
Machine and processor boost tasks were being cleared the instant they appeared, so those boosts and the Oil and Calibrate actions now actually work
The task marker no longer clips off the top of the grid at any zoom or pan, and no longer hides behind neighbouring machines
The Try it now and Got it buttons on the unlock popup are now the same size and aligned
The progression rebalance applies to runs already in progress, so an existing factory may show different unlock timing than before, this is intended
