Hi everyone,

I’m excited to share that I’ve just laid the first cornerstone of our new economic system! After extensive local testing with placeholder buildings and resources, I’m happy to report that everything is running smoothly. Buildings now take time to construct, and once they’re complete and activated, they’ll start consuming their inputs and producing valuable outputs—just as intended.

Of course, this is only the first step. The real challenge lies ahead: creating a sequence of buildings that takes us from basic, early-stage resource gathering all the way through to advanced, spacefaring industries. I’ll be introducing these buildings one by one over the coming days and weeks, so stay tuned for more details as we continue to expand and refine this feature.

Cheers!
