Fixed a follow-up issue with the base switcher on mobile: after buying something (units, resources, anything that updates your counters), tapping another base in the switcher could close it instead of taking you there. Switching bases now works reliably right after a purchase.

Fixed a rare mobile glitch where opening the base switcher and quickly tapping a base could instead open an unrelated vehicle's details underneath it. Switching bases on the go should now behave every time, however fast you tap.

The bevelled frame around research blueprints is gone everywhere it still lingered: the production floor, the orders strip on the Build page, and both the tiles and the detail card on the Tech tree. Blueprints now sit flat like every other plate, with the same coloured rims telling you what you can start, what is running and what is done. Behind the scenes, the Command Desk now keeps track of its own workload and stuck maintenance runs are stopped early, so help desk answers keep coming without eating into the week's budget.

If you'd already replaced a building with its upgraded version (like a Silo becoming a Depot), some research lines and tier advancement could get stuck asking for the building you no longer had — even though the upgrade was strictly better. Those checks now recognize the upgraded building too, so progress that looked blocked should be clear to continue.

Fixed a Command Desk hiccup where the "Reading, Commander…" placeholder could stay stuck on screen after the real answer had already arrived — you'd have to scroll up to find it. The desk now catches itself up as soon as you open the panel again.

Six blueprint expeditions — the ones behind Fast Trike, Large Concrete, the Tanker conversion, Medium Soldier, Heavy Harvester and the Octopod conversion — now correctly reveal the matching upgrade once the expedition completes, instead of handing you the finished unit outright. Queue the upgrade from the Build page as normal once it unlocks.

Found a blueprint for an upgraded vehicle and started the matching upgrade at the factory? You could briefly see both the old and new version sitting in your vehicle list until the upgrade finished. Now only one shows at a time, the whole way through.

Squashed a family of rare glitches that could show up right after switching screens quickly — a base sheet, a filter panel, an image viewer or the mention list occasionally throwing an error mid-navigation. All of them are fixed now, checked against a real browser doing exactly that.

Fixed a rare glitch on mobile where the menu, base switcher or Dev Channel's quick-actions sheet could get confused right after you moved to a new page — mostly noticeable as the Escape key or back gesture not closing things cleanly in that split second.

Quieted down a harmless nightly hiccup in the test site's error log so real problems are easier to spot.

The Merge controls now reach into a factory's waiting list. Queue more of something a factory is already building and that waiting order grows its own Merge button — one press and it joins the run instead of waiting its turn, which also hands you back the queue slot it was holding. Merge all does the same sweep in one go: it folds every line of an order together and pulls the waiting orders of that same unit in with them.

Two orders of the same unit can now become one even when none of it is building yet. Where a factory is tied up with something else and your orders are stacking up behind it, the later one carries a Merge that folds it into the one in front — same units, one queue slot instead of two, and it keeps the earlier order's place in the line rather than going to the back.

Nothing is lost in a merge. Units already built stay built, the work put into the one still on the bench travels across, and the order is delivered in full — it simply runs on fewer lines from there. Where there is nothing to merge, neither button appears.

Research recovered from expeditions is meant to stay a secret until you find it, and the technology tree was quietly giving some of it away. A research line that hangs an extra level behind an expedition showed that level in its count, and opening the line listed it outright — by name, with its price and build time — so a line you had actually finished reading as unfinished was the least of it.

The tree now counts and lists only the levels you can actually reach. Find the blueprint and the extra level appears, exactly as it should have all along. The Field Manual's copy of the tree got the same treatment: it is a reference work anyone can read, so it no longer documents discoveries nobody has made yet.

Nothing you have researched has changed — this is only about what the tree was willing to tell you.
