Implemented two-decimal rounding tolerance when comparing warehouse inventory to per-minute turn requirements. In-house facilities with adequate stock are now correctly recognized as primed rather than being flagged as deadlocked cycles.

Configured Prime All and individual Prime buttons to enforce a minimum market purchasing threshold of 0.01 m³. Submitting micro-decimal deficits under 0.005 m³ no longer attempts to buy 0 m³ or triggers positive amount errors.

Repairs now scale strictly with the live market value of installed machines instead of land plot fees. A full overhaul from 0% condition costs exactly 20% of equipment value, scaling linearly with wear.

Machinery condition now directly governs manufacturing output. Facilities operate at 100% throughput between 100% and 75% condition, throttle linearly down to 50% between 75% and 25%, and suffer complete mechanical breakdown (0% output) below 25% condition until overhauled.

Dismantling production units now refunds 75% of building fees and 40% of machinery live market value (+20% with active Salvage Boost, total 60%), providing a viable rescue ramp to fund fleet overhauls without capital destruction.

Production rates tables and facility dashboards now display colored condition badges, mechanical breakdown warnings, accurate imperial repair costs, and a comprehensive field manual in the Wiki.

Removed the previous cap of 10,000 certificates per purchase on trash, wastewater, and nuclear permits, allowing players to buy any desired quantity in a single order.

Optimized permit pricing and asset valuation algorithms to calculate in constant time, keeping the storage page fast and responsive even when purchasing millions of permits.

Refactored the profitability calculator from a legacy accordion strip into a standard dashboard card with clean 12px rounded borders, matching background and shadow tokens, modern facility icon container, and rotating interactive chevron.

Replaced the floating inline crown icon with a dedicated, vertically-aligned gold Supporter Perk pill badge, creating clear visual hierarchy and harmony with the executive summary card.

Standardized the golden crown indicator across all supporter and donator perks site-wide, including facility profitability calculators, corporate tax cut notices, and warehouse storage capacity boosts.

Visiting competitor profiles now displays clear crown status indicators on unlocked tabs (Units, Storage, Bonds, Staff, Finance, and Log), while replacing unstyled legacy error blocks for free players with modern call-to-action cards.

Facility dashboards now feature a responsive 3-metric executive overview strip showcasing real-time operational status, 24-hour time-weighted efficiency, and the primary resource bottleneck limiting output.

Initial facility production status events are now rendered server-side on page load for instantaneous 0ms display with zero pop-in or layout shift, while retaining smooth asynchronous pagination for older logs.

Resolved an issue where production history and status logs appeared blank due to inline scripts evaluating before deferred script bundles. The timeline now auto-initializes declaratively upon document readiness and queries without integer overflow constraints.

System notifications sent when new executives register now correctly point to the player username profile route (/profile/username) rather than internal numeric account IDs.

Navigating to a profile using a direct account ID now seamlessly redirects to the executive username profile page.

Resolved a cascading notification storm where multiple industries stalling across consecutive turns sent dozens of duplicate alerts. Alerts are now edge-triggered once per incident, summarize total stalled lines and key missing resources across your empire, enforce a 1-hour anti-flapping cooldown, and honor your notification preferences.

Selecting a corporate archetype founding package is now permanently recorded in company logs. Includes an interactive breakdown drawer detailing starting liquid capital (€500,000), warehouse capacity (10,000 CBM), environmental permits (trash and wastewater), production facilities, and starting fuel inventory.

Performing a voluntary or administrative corporate reset now logs an entry with a distinct reset icon and an itemized drawer recording reset scope, initial tier baseline, and wiped assets.

Floating milestone reward toasts are now temporarily suppressed while the guided HUD navigation tour is active or scheduled to launch, eliminating competing dialogs and preventing premature page reloads during the tour.

Finishing or closing the HUD tour immediately presents pending milestone reward toasts with a smooth transition, allowing executives to collect their cash bonuses without disruption.

Resetting or re-founding an enterprise now automatically clears previously dismissed toast flags from session storage so new milestones always present reliably.

Fixed data serialization for completed onboarding milestones. The gold floating reward toast now reliably appears in the bottom right corner immediately upon completing an objective, allowing executives to collect their cash bonus with one click from any screen.

Permit notifications now explicitly display the quantity acquired (e.g. "Acquired 1x Trash Storage Permit (Permit #3)") so ordinal permit numbers are never confused with batch order amounts.

Clicking the Acquire button now dynamically binds the active stepper quantity immediately before navigation, ensuring bulk permit orders consistently process the intended quantity.

Harmonized production asset compilers to automatically include all modular frontend services (including StorageService and Storage feature handlers), resolving console errors on market and inventory collapsible panels.

Resolved an issue where evaluating bank financial services for Milestone 7 could trigger an error for new executives. The objective now cleanly recognizes active business loans, tax prepayment credits, and corporate bonds.

Borrowing funds or prepaying corporate taxes directly in the Bank now immediately marks Milestone 7 as achieved.

Aligned the Corporate Office Accountant training ceiling to Level 5 across all staff panels, matching the 25% maximum corporate tax reduction and overdraft discount caps.

Redesigned the chat sidebar online, busy, and away presence labels into delicate rounded pills with high-contrast text and subtle borders, eliminating harsh unpadded background blocks.

Input commodity bottleneck cards now feature warm amber accents rather than muted slate tones, ensuring visual harmony across all four operational dimensions (Materials, Storage, Waste, and Cash Runway).

Added dedicated trash-can iconography for solid waste input bottlenecks and upgraded production permit badges to modern FontAwesome 6 standards.

Factory ROI badges now dynamically factor in executive department bonuses: Waste Management waste discounts (cutting negative disposal fees on Trash and Wastewater by up to 50%), Human Resources wage mitigation, Engineering maintenance savings, Legal compliance fee reductions, and Logistics warehouse upkeep discounts.

Facility profitability figures now scale proportionally with active speed multipliers, including Active Leadership (+5%), Super Sunday (+10%), Syndicate R&D Sprint (+2% to +10%), and Coin Shop Production Boosts (+10%), displaying true real-time hourly throughput.

Harmonized the Production Profitability Calculator on individual facility screens with the primary KPI badge. The calculator now factors in complete capital investment (facility building price, machinery market value, and freight logistics) and displays estimated payback periods in hours or days.

Renamed Tier 5 from Empire to Titan (€10,000,000,000 net assets), maintaining the 6.0x labor wage multiplier, 15.0% compliance fee, and 40% maximum bank borrowing ratio while serving as the gateway to Executive Prestige Holdings.

Established Tier 6 Empire (€100,000,000,000+ net assets) as the official pinnacle milestone, applying natural economic drag: 7.0x baseline labor (mitigable to 3.5x via HR Level 5), +20.0% compliance fee (mitigable to 10.0% via Legal Level 5), and a 35% macro borrowing ratio to safeguard market liquidity.

Replaced confusing progress bars with a prestigious golden Maximum Corporate Scale Reached celebration banner upon reaching Tier 6 Empire status.

Introduced dedicated briefing pages for Tier 5 Titan (/upgrade/titan) and Tier 6 Empire (/upgrade/empire), ensuring CEOs receive comprehensive economic drag and unlock overviews upon crossing €10B and €100B valuation thresholds.

Expanded the Executive Prestige Holdings catalogue with 10 exclusive Tier 6 Empire sovereign trophies ranging from €15B to €200B (Orbital Space Elevator, Mars Terraforming Bio-Dome, Dyson Swarm, Continental Antimatter Forge, Universal Matter Synthesizer), introducing massive capital sinks with daily 5% operational upkeep drag for high-net-worth conglomerates.

Implemented invisible human interaction tokens and off-screen honeypot shielding on the contact support desk to silently eliminate automated spam submissions without introducing puzzle captchas or friction on mobile devices.

Reorganized introductory objectives to follow the natural economic flow: 1) Founding, 2) First Production Cycle, 3) First Commodity Market Trade, 4) Scale Up Facility Units, 5) Logistics & Storage Management, 6) Commercial Trading Routine, 7) Bank Credit & Capital, and 8-10) Corporate Office Staffing.

Eliminated early onboarding friction for Solar Power and Retail specializations by recognizing any transaction executed via the Commodity Market page (/market), whether buying fuel wholesale or selling clean utility power. Quick machinery purchases from factory builder screens remain excluded.

Replaced disruptive full-width top alert banners with an elegant, non-blocking floating achievement toast in the lower right viewport. Displays a gold trophy badge, reward pill (+€10,000 Cash), and dedicated action button.

Players can now collect cash rewards directly inside the toast or Academy with snappy inline animations and coin sparkles without losing their place on /production or interrupting gameplay.

New executives now receive a sleek, compact 6-step guided tour introducing what lies behind each primary menu button: Overview (/production), Industries (/sectors), Warehouse (/storage), Market (/market), Bank (/bank), and Finance (/finance). Features bite-sized descriptions and full touch support.

As players browse through each tour step, the corresponding menu button in the top navigation bar or mobile bottom navigation automatically lights up with a glowing amber pulse ring and centers smoothly into view.

Players can replay the tour at any time via the User Dropdown menu (Quick HUD Tour), the Community Sidebar (Quick Tour), or the Academy page (/tutorial).

Suppressed the aggressive unclaimed milestone warning banner upon initial arrival at /production, allowing new CEOs to inspect their factory floor and take the tour without disruptive redirects to /tutorial.

Removed the obsolete fan-project Assistant link from the Community sidebar to keep links clean and focused on official channels.

Redesigned the 1-Minute Bootstrap Buffer table with compact action buttons to eliminate horizontal cutoff, added a visual micro progress bar for warehouse coverage, aligned units and rates, and added clear status pills for circular cycle deadlocks.

Completely replaced the legacy starter pack claim with an executive briefing integrated directly into the game design system. Displays a prominent executive office visual, concise boardroom greeting, and your verified seed capital package (€500k cash, 10,000 m³ storage space, and waste permits) alongside a visual 3-step production cycle.

New executives can now establish their company with an operational starter facility: choose between a Solar Power Plant (recommended for beginners with zero raw materials needed), a Gas Station (fast consumer cashflow with starter gasoline included), or Custom Sandbox mode with all 104 sectors unlocked.

Retired legacy pick.php endpoints across all registration and authentication workflows in favor of clean /founding routes.

Removed the legacy automated welcome private message to eliminate disruptive unread inbox banners during company setup, replacing it with direct administrator telemetry alerts.

Fixed the production history timeline on facility detail pages. Corrected DOM container nesting, added graceful operational state fallback when no prior transition logs exist, and hidden the load older logs button when all history is displayed.

Expanded the backend cash validation tolerance for tax advance prepayments. When players click Max Cash, live minute production expenses (wages, raw materials, interest) no longer trigger "Not enough cash" rejection errors: amounts slightly exceeding available cash gracefully clamp to the actual floor balance.

Upgraded the top facility card from the legacy text box into an executive summary panel. It combines the 3D facility render and industry lore with 4 quick-glance KPI metric tiles: Installed Units, Machinery Health condition, Production Speed multipliers, and Hourly ROI.

Added an Hourly ROI metric to the facility dashboard. Supporter players see the exact live hourly return percentage calculated from machinery capital, commodity prices, workforce wages, and upkeep. Free players receive an unobtrusive Supporter status indicator.

Refined the executive card header to feature clean facility names, single-line functional descriptions, direct Deactivate and Activate controls, and a status badge positioned above the 3D facility render.

Streamlined the Live Operational Status card into an exception-only troubleshooting panel. When manufacturing lines operate at full efficiency or are idle, the card is hidden to eliminate visual clutter. When production is halted due to depleted input commodities or full warehouse storage, the panel appears collapsed with a soft rose badge, ready to expand with instant procurement actions.

Streamlined the Live Operational Status card header by removing the redundant status badge. The card summary now relies cleanly on its color-coded status icon, unit count, machinery wear condition, and direct operational toggles, leaving in-depth diagnostics to the expandable body.

The speed multipliers card on industry and overview dashboards now strictly displays boosts that are currently active. If no speed multipliers are active, the card is hidden entirely to keep pages clean and focused.

Active speed multipliers now feature dedicated theme palettes and FontAwesome 6 icons for Active Leadership (green), Super Sunday (purple), Syndicate R&D Sprint (blue), and Coin Shop Speed Boost (amber).

On smartphone viewports, the multipliers grid transforms into a sleek horizontal touch-swipe ribbon with smooth snap scrolling. This caps the card at a fixed 58px height regardless of how many boosts are active, preventing vertical scroll bloat.

Integrated Production Speed directly into the hero header on industry detail pages as a fourth metric box arranged in a balanced 2x2 grid alongside Required Scale, Units Installed, and Machine Condition, with a sleek Back to Sectors button tucked under the description.

Corrected commodity requirement formulas in the Live Operational Status card on individual industry pages. Input consumption and output generation now properly divide base hourly rates by 60 minutes per turn, factoring in machine condition and company speed boosts. This prevents active, well-stocked facilities from falsely flagging as halted with artificial input shortages.

Converted the Live Operational Status card into a sleek collapsible details element defaulting to collapsed for a clean page layout, with persistent open/closed state synchronization via StorageService.

Replaced external market redirection links with instant in-place purchase buttons for missing raw materials, including a 1-click Buy All Missing Input Materials bulk procurement button matching the machinery installation flow.

Refined the warehouse capacity footer into a compact single-line layout, ensuring readiness badges never wrap onto an awkward secondary line.

Introduced a centralized company maintenance bar under the production rates table with a Repair All Machinery action for Tier 3+ (Multinational) enterprises, enabling players to overhaul all degraded factory units across all sectors to 100% condition in a single atomic transaction.

Consolidated the 1-minute turn buffer table into 5 clean responsive columns with integrated pipeline indicators and consuming facility badges, eliminating horizontal page blowout.

Clicking Buy on any unprimed commodity now purchases the required 1-minute turn buffer directly on the market in an instant transaction and returns straight to your production flow. Added a Prime All button to procure all missing buffers in a single click.

Deadlocks are registered when a commodity is required as input and should be self-sustained in-house, but warehouse inventory lacks a 1-minute operating buffer, making it easy to identify failing loops after operations begin.

Excluded waste byproduct commodities (Trash, Wastewater) from bootstrap purchasing checklists, resolving negative cost calculations.

Redesigned site-wide top alert banners with generous icon padding and clear dedicated action buttons on the right. Added direct action buttons for mission milestone claiming, inbox navigation, admin contact inquiries, and maintenance mode management, with responsive full-width wrapping on mobile.

Maximum allowable borrowing ratios now scale dynamically with Corporate Scale Tiers: Startup (65%, min €50k floor), Enterprise (60%), Corporation (55%), Multinational (50%), Megacap (45%), and Empire (40%).

As borrowing ratios tighten on higher scale tiers, expanding Prime borrowing brackets through your Conglomerate Finance Department becomes exceptionally valuable for large corporations.

Balanced Friday corporate tax relief to 25% to protect the economy against excessive liquidity and inflation while ensuring Friday remains a lucrative high-earnings day.

Event tax discounts now sum additively with Corporate HQ Accountants rather than multiplying. A Level 5 Accountant (25% discount) on Tax Relief Friday (25% discount) yields an exact 50% total reduction on midnight corporate profit taxes.

Removed the artificial restriction that gated multi-purchase steppers behind owning 10+ permits. Players at all stages can now acquire multiple Trash, Wastewater, or Radioactive Waste certificates in a single atomic transaction.

The interactive stepper and numeric input are now universally available across all permit cards on /storage. Live price calculations seamlessly sum escalating tier price brackets up to the maximum flat price cap.

Repurposed Corporate HQ Accountants from loan interest mitigation to Corporate Tax Optimization. Each level of your team of accountants now reduces your midnight corporate profit taxes by 5% (up to 25% at Level 5).

Updated /finance, /office, and /staff to clearly display active accountant tax deductions, savings, and net liabilities alongside syndicate mission bonuses.

Upgrading your Conglomerate Finance Department now grants exclusive control over commercial loan interest by shifting risk brackets higher: Prime rate (4.0%) shifts +3% per level up to 35% debt, Moderate rate (5.5%) shifts +3% per level up to 55% debt, and Heavy rate (8.0%) shifts +1% per level up to 65% debt.

At Finance Department Level 5, the punitive 14% to 18% High Risk interest penalty bracket is 100% eliminated, capping all borrowing up to the 65% asset ceiling at the 8.0% Heavy rate.

Capped maximum Finance Department levels at Level 5 (down from 8) to maintain balanced syndicate progression without leverage creep.

The full-width leverage risk meter on /bank now dynamically adjusts its color segment flex weights, threshold labels, and needle badges in real-time according to your alliance financing level.

Retired the legacy digital loan contract and redundant credit facility boxes. The bank interface is now sleek and uniform regardless of whether your balance sheet carries active debt or zero loans.

Added four clean metric cards at the top of the banking screen displaying your Outstanding Debt, Available Credit Line (65% asset backing), Interest Rate (with Prime / leverage tier badge and accountant discount), and Accruing Interest. Includes smart compact formatting for large multi-billion figures.

Introduced a full-width, responsive multi-color leverage meter spanning the top section. Features a high-contrast needle indicator pin slicing through the track with a live debt ratio badge and dynamically aligned tier boundaries.

Reorganized actions into two side-by-side cards: Borrow Capital on the left and Pay Back Debt on the right. Both feature quick percentage pills (25%, 50%, 75%, Max Limit, Full Debt, Max Cash), real-time interest calculators, and clean reassurance states when debt is zero.

Positioned Overdraft Policy configuration cleanly alongside the Self-Funding Production Protection card, eliminating visual clutter and competing upgrade boxes.

Expanded page alert banners and milestone notifications from a legacy 1080px cap to the full 1200px master container width, perfectly aligning alerts with the page hero header and right sidebar.

Industries operating at 0% production rate on /production now display a prominent 0% Halted badge alongside the exact operational reason (such as missing input commodities, full warehouse storage, or overdraft credit limits) instead of collapsing into an empty progress bar.

Installed factories on /industry/{name} now feature a prominent live operational card displaying real-time throughput percentage, active speed bonuses, quick activation toggles, and clear diagnostic explanations whenever production is stalled.

Each facility includes a per-turn input raw material checklist detailing required quantities, warehouse reserves, runway turns remaining, and direct 1-click market shortcuts to immediately replenish missing supplies.

Resolved an issue where the production history timeline on industry pages displayed an empty state claiming the player owned zero units. The timeline now synthesizes active steady-state operations and logs live operational diagnostics.

Added a dedicated Bootstrap Buffer tab to the Production Flow section alongside Net and Gross flow. It tracks the exact 1-minute raw materials needed to jumpstart each manufacturing line, classifies circular feedback loops vs external supply, and provides 1-click market shortcuts to prime stalled chains.

Integrated proactive deadlock detection into the production runtime alerts. When self-sustaining manufacturing cycles sit at 0% rate due to an empty warehouse starting buffer, a prominent Cycle Deadlock banner identifies the stalled commodities and guides you to ignite the chain.

Facilities are now allowed to run at full capacity even when cash balances drop below zero or breach credit limits, provided overall operations generate net positive cash flow (Sales Revenue exceeds Operating Costs). Because profitable manufacturing directly pays down corporate debt each turn, solvent operations are no longer penalized by temporary cash exhaustion.

Resolved an issue where the 30-day historical debt and interest column charts on /bank failed to render due to missing chart script dependencies. Added automatic script inclusion and graceful scale baselines for debt-free accounts.

Added a third interactive column chart to the 30-day bank history ledger displaying the daily financing rate. Even without active loans, the chart reflects your applicable borrowing interest rate determined by bank level and accounting discounts.

Updated both the Commercial Banking guide and Production guide on /wiki to explain the mathematical rules behind self-funding production protection, net cash flow thresholds, and debt recovery mechanisms.

Upgraded the primary production status banner on /production into a smart, non-duplicated operational monitor. Elite Donators now see active crown badges and real-time dispatch indicators (Discord Webhook and In-Game alerts) when issues arise, while non-donators receive a subtle contextual upgrade tip.

Elite Donators now have an eye-catching pulsing alert indicator in the top navigation header next to notifications whenever warehouse capacity exceeds 90%, storage is completely full, cash balance is negative, or factory lines stall due to missing input materials.

Whenever a supply chain bottleneck or storage stoppage occurs during minute turns, Elite Donators now receive instant in-game notifications in their activity feed with direct links to the production dashboard, matching external Discord webhook dispatching.

Resolved a layout overflow issue where bottleneck status badges and metrics in the Production Runtime & Prognosis cards could break out of their container borders on wider widescreen displays. The prognosis cards now use a flexible two-column baseline with elegant wrapped status pills and aligned metrics.

Retired legacy unreachable dashboard code from the public homepage to streamline initial load times and prepare the landing page for modern presentation updates.

Your executive prestige perks on /profile now display as clean visual cards with dedicated iconography, item titles, and market appraisals instead of bare icon squares.

Purchasing or dismantling prestige assets now triggers a single customized notification upon reload instead of duplicate stacked banners.

The top of the rankings page now features a prominent standing card tracking your current position, lead gap to the next competitor, and live prestige margin when competing in the highest tiers.

Added an exclusive 30-day historical statement ledger to /finance for Supporter, Donator, and Elite players, backed by a dedicated high-performance database table. Features itemized expense drawers, 1-click CSV export, and instant unlock when upgrading.

Added segmented tab navigation between the Table Statement and Interactive Column Charts. Switch between dedicated trend charts for Net Profit, Revenue, Operating Costs, Prepayments Used, Taxes Paid, and Effective Tax Rate with stepper controls and period stat badges.

The asset write-offs and depreciation table on /finance can now be collapsed to keep your financial dashboard clean. Your open or closed preference is automatically remembered across sessions.

The total daily tax shelter amount is now displayed prominently in the top right header of the write-offs card with nowrap formatting on all screen sizes.

Added an exclusive 30-day debt and financing history ledger to /bank for Supporter, Donator, and Elite players. Track your daily loan balance evolution, debt repayments, and midnight interest settlements in identical visual styling to the finance ledger.

Added segmented tab navigation between the Credit Ledger and Interactive Column Charts on /bank. Switch between dedicated trend charts for Outstanding Debt and Interest Paid with stepper controls, peak indicators, and period stat chips.

Export your complete 30-day corporate credit ledger to CSV with one click for offline analysis and auditing.

Client-side preference retention across corporate scale cards, solvency meters, write-offs, and inventory drawers is now governed by an encapsulated, schema-validated storage service.

Unified desktop page container max-width to 1200px across the entire game, removing residual container constraints on News, Patch Notes, Activity Logs, FAQ Questions, Team, and Bank Upgrade cards so every screen aligns pixel-perfect with the top navigation bar.

Repairing factory machinery now costs purely cash. You no longer need to sacrifice raw materials like electronics or steel from your warehouse inventory to keep production lines running at 100% efficiency.

The Machinery Maintenance Boost now freezes machinery wear completely for its entire duration. It no longer grants free instant 100% repairs, ensuring factory upkeep remains a meaningful strategic decision.

The hourly cost, revenue, and ROI badges on factory and production overview pages now dynamically adapt to smartphone screens without overlapping.

Friday tax relief has been balanced to a generous 50% discount on daily net profits. This prevents sudden hyperinflation on the leaderboards while keeping Friday an exciting high-earning day.

Active events like Tax Relief Friday, Super Sunday, and Loan Relief now display clear visual banners across your Home dashboard, Commercial Bank, Finance, and Production pages so you never miss an active perk.

The bank and finance pages now project your upcoming midnight tax estimate and show your active event discount in real time.

The chat and conglomerate icons in the top menu now glow warm golden amber and show an unread dot whenever new messages arrive.

Tax payment logs on /logs now transform into easy-to-read stacked cards on mobile devices instead of compressed tables.

Hovering over conglomerate member tables on desktop no longer causes unwanted scrollbar shifts for members.
