<strong>Illustrated edition:</strong> 24 October 2026. Game balance, market prices, and event rewards can change. Use each page's Help button and the current purchase preview for exact costs and effects.

Screenshots show local development accounts at different progression stages. Their balances, quantities and timers are examples, not targets. Your available controls depend on your profile, unlocks and enabled features.
