Strategic Command & QoL

v0.1.4Mar 17, 2026

Your new Command tab and assistant make running a large kefir operation calmer and less clicky.

Command hub, not clutter:
The Command tab now acts as your strategic surface: a clean snapshot of your factory state plus a structured Technology Catalog when you want the details.
Assistant that actually assists:
The KefirWay assistant now reacts to your factory, surfaces system updates, and responds on every tap with context-aware advice.
Readable market pressure:
Marketing upgrades hit harder, and the new "Show Market Help" callout explains demand coverage in plain language based on your current stock and sales.
Hands-off automation controls:
Auto Pricing, Auto Temperature, and Auto Milk can now be toggled directly from the dashboard once researched. The manual "Buy Milk" alert retires gracefully after Auto Milk is online.
Early-game inventory pacing:
You now start with 1,000 units of storage. The first upgrade unlocks after 3,000 total kefir produced, nudging you to build a buffer before scaling.

Developer Note

"The goal here is less click-churn and more quiet, legible control over a fast-growing factory."

v0.1.3Mar 14, 2026

Storage progression now follows tiers: Local, Overseas, Underground, and Orbital.
Each tier unlocks repeatable storage upgrades with escalating costs, so capacity can scale indefinitely over time.
Tier unlocks now use prerequisite relationships, including mixed requirements for advanced paths.
Daily Diary and Assistant now provide tier lock/unlock and bottleneck guidance when storage progression stalls.

Developer Note

"The road to planetary and orbital kefir logistics should feel earned, readable, and endless."

v0.1.2Mar 14, 2026

Added a hard inventory capacity for kefir. Production no longer scales into infinite storage by default.
When storage is full, excess output is discarded and tracked as waste instead of silently piling up.
Added new storage-focused R&D upgrades to expand capacity.
Added visibility for capacity and waste in the dashboard.

v0.1.1Mar 14, 2026

Fixed the low-temperature exploit where 0C could create unrealistic free production behavior.
Added cold spoilage behavior for extreme low temperatures.
Synced UI and assistant calculations with the core simulation rules.

Thanks for keeping the vats running while we tune the knobs.
