[h3]We’re excited to present version 2.0 of Project Wunderwaffe! This update introduces significant changes and improvements to key game systems, making the gameplay experience even better.[/h3]

[h3]🔧 Production System Changes[/h3]
[h3]:pwwenergy:Local Storage for Excess Resources[/h3]
If warehouses are full, produced resources are no longer lost. Instead, they are stored locally in buildings or within a buffer. Notifications will now inform players about these events.
[h3]:pwwenergy:Flexible Production Queue[/h3]
The FIFO queue system has been removed. If one recipe lacks the required resources, the system will check for other recipes that can still be produced. This allows for more dynamic production management.
[h3]:pwwenergy:Improved Resource Retrieval from Warehouses[/h3]
The system now optimizes resource retrieval, speeding up production tasks.
[h3]:pwwenergy:Enhanced Recipe Tooltips[/h3]
Tooltips now include information about available resources, making production planning much easier.

[h3]📦 Warehouse Improvements[/h3]
Resources in warehouses are now displayed alphabetically, improving organization and making inventory management more intuitive.

[h3]🔨 Mining System Changes[/h3]
:pwwenergy:resource extraction speed decreases as mines get deeper,
:pwwenergy:resource transfer time to warehouses is now dependent on the mine’s depth, adding a layer of realism to resource management,
:pwwenergy:Mines now extract 2 resource units per cycle, making extraction more efficient,
:pwwenergy:improved sorting of resources for extraction, ensuring a more logical and efficient process,
:pwwenergy:after mining is complete, the mine will retain information about which resources were extracted there.

[h3]📋 Command Center Enhancements[/h3]
:pwwenergy:resources are displayed alphabetically and grouped by size for better inventory management,
:pwwenergy:holding Shift while adding resources for shipment to the front quickly adds x10, greatly streamlining the process of managing large quantities.

[h3]⚙️ Endgame Optimization[/h3]
:pwwenergy:key optimization work has been carried out to ensure greater stability during the late stages of gameplay.

[h3]🕹️ Save Game Compatibility[/h3]
Your old save files will work with version 2.0. However, due to the extensive changes introduced in this update, we highly recommend starting a new game to fully experience all the new features and improvements.

Thank you for your continued support and feedback – every update brings us closer to delivering the perfect gameplay experience!

Check out the new features in version 2.0 and let us know what you think! 🎮
