[h3]Ideology[/h3]

You can unlock Ideology by building Big Ben (Unlocked by Capitalism). Big Ben also provides +2 Science From Busy Workers.



[h2]New Great Person[/h2]

• Yuri Gagarin: Cold War age promotion great person

[h2]New Buildings[/h2]
There are some breaking changes regarding Livestock Farm - it is split into two buildings: Poultry Farm which only produces meat and Dairy Farm which only produces milk. To help with this transition, existing livestock farms will continue to work but can no longer be built. Dido still provides boost to Livestock Farm in 0.14 but will be removed in 0.15.

• Add "Poultry Farm": 2x Wheat -> 2 Meat
  
• Add "Dairy Farm": 2x Wheat -> 2 Milk
  
• Add "Poetry School": 2x Paper + 1x Alcohol -> 2 x Poem
  
• Deprecate "Livestock Farm": existing livestock farms will continue to work but you cannot build new livestock farms
  
• Dido now boosts Dairy Farm and Poultry Farm
  
• New great person Homer: +1 Production and Storage Multiplier for Stable and Poetry School (Classical Age)
  

[h2]New Wonder[/h2]

• Large Hadron Collider: All Information Age great people get +2 level for this run. This wonder can be upgraded and each additional upgrade provides +1 level to all Information Age great people for this run (Unlocked by Virtual Reality)
  

[h2]Other Changes[/h2]

• Clone Factory will no longer sustain itself - it is required to transport resources from a building that produces the resource to be cloned (e.g. If you want to clone Super Computers, the clone factory can only use Super Computers directly transported from Super Computer Labs. Super Computers stored in Warehouse/Caranvansary/Clone Factory cannot be used)
• Transports to buildings that produce workers no longer require workers. This will help with worker domino collapse issue
  
• When upgrading wonders (Internation Space Station, Marina Bay Sands, Palm Jumeirah, Alderson Disk, Dyson Sphere, Matrioshka's Brain, Luxor Temple Chogha Zanbil), the builder capacity will increase linearly with the level
  
• Matrioshka's Brain: each additional upgrade provides +1 Production Multiplier for buildings that produce Science
