• Regular patch 1.9.0 live - 20 August 2026

  Dear chief of whatever officers and office dronesPatch 1.9.0 is mostly about UI improvements, decreasing the use of the dreaded sub-(sub)-menus, flattening them. For example, sending executives around the map now takes one hover+click instead of three. The construction screen was integrated into the main desktop screen, and so on.Hopefully these improvements do not take away too much from the immersion of using a corporate UI.

Q&A is still ongoing, but the language can already be selected in the options menu.Complete list of changes:1.9.0Features & gameplay- At most 3 items can be requisitioned at once; the Requisition Management feat, the Additional space upgrade and the Logistics network project each…
