Devblog #28 - Improvement Office

Hello Constructors!

Today, we’re diving into one of the tier choices you’ll face when advancing to the** Age of Scholars**. You'll find an option to unlock the Improvement Office. This is a building which introduces a brand-new mechanic that will help you make use of spare Science Points.

CONVERT YOUR SCIENCE POINTS

Once you’ve constructed an Improvement Office, its engineers get to work converting your hard-earned Science Points into valuable upgrades for your city. These upgrades can include reduced upkeep costs for buildings or increased efficiency for oxen, among others. What's the catch? The Improvement Office applies its benefits to buildings within its range, making strategic placement crucial. So keep that in mind!

PICK YOUR REWARD

You, as the Governor, have the power to choose which upgrade to prioritize. Want to focus on economic efficiency? Opt for reduced building maintenance costs. Need to boost resource transportation? Enhance your oxen’s productivity. And if your priorities shift, no problem – **you can adjust the chosen upgrade anytime **via the Improvement Office panel. That's also the place where you can check the exact value of your bonuses.

The Improvement Office empowers you to fine-tune your city’s performance, ensuring it thrives under your guidance. Will you use this mechanic to shape your city? Let us know your strategies, and as always, stay tuned for more updates!
