[h3]"Science" Great People[/h3]
Since the release of the Cold War era, several great people that boost science are missing - this version adds the missing great people.

[h3]QoL & Bugfixes[/h3]
[h3]An Update on Monetization[/h3]
First of all, a big thank-you to all of you who've purchased the supporter pack: we have more than 300 people who've supported the game. One copy of the support pack (after Steam's share and tax) covers about a day's server cost, which means that we've secured about a year's server cost!
Currently, the supporter pack does not contain additional content. But as I previously mentioned, I will start to add content to the supporter pack once the base game is in a good state. Here's my plan:
I feel this strikes the best balance of "providing value for the supporter pack" and "not making the game pay to win". If you have already purchased the supporter pack, there's no need to do anything: all the new content will be available for you when they are released.

Currently, the supporter pack does not contain additional content. But as I previously mentioned, I will start to add content to the supporter pack once the base game is in a good state. Here's my plan:
- The whole tech tree will be available in the base game (free)
- The supporter pack will include additional maps (which will add new content & mechanisms)
- Just like in Industry Idle, each week, one of the premium maps will be available for free-to-play as well
I feel this strikes the best balance of "providing value for the supporter pack" and "not making the game pay to win". If you have already purchased the supporter pack, there's no need to do anything: all the new content will be available for you when they are released.
