Unfortunately, we had to refactor some underlying implementations, and therefore some of your Venture saves may be broken. We apologize for the inconvenience 😔.

On the bright side, in this update we are making the Research section available, so that you can see how the research work in the full version!

Only a few nodes will be available to research in the Demo version, but they are already quite powerful by themselves!

Additional changes are listed below.
