Research locked Tabs (Upgrades, Automation)

The Upgrades and Automation tabs are no longer available from the start you now unlock them through the Technology Research Center.

New research nodes

• Upgrades Facility unlocks the Upgrades tab

  • Cost: 750 Data, 350 Blocks, 50 Energy

  • Time: 30s

  • Requires depth: 150m

• Automation Facility unlocks the Automation tab

  • Cost: 500 Data, 200 Blocks, 50 Energy

  • Time: 45s

  • Requires depth: 200m

  • Prerequisite: Upgrades Facility

Added a small Command Center window that acts as a quick launcher for any UI you’ve unlocked.

Highlights

• Visible by default, but starts collapsed so it stays out of the way

• Toggle it with H

• Buttons open/close windows or switch tabs

• Buttons light up when that UI is already open/active

Main Menu: New Game overwrite confirmation

Starting a New Game is now safer if you already have a save.

Behavior

• No save present → starts immediately (same as before)
  
  

I’ve got more in the works  I just came down with the flu, though. If all goes well, I’m hoping to ship another update in the next 2–3 days.

Thank you for playing and the support!
