+ The acquisition of Industrial XYZ Augmenters, Base Gear and Station Kits has been adjusted as follows:
++ The build costs of Y and Z Gear/Augmenters/Kits has been increased substantially to account for the fact that you are no longer required to build the previous tier in order to unlock a single use blueprint of a higher tier. In addition, the maximum workforce has been removed and replaced with significantly higher manhour requirements. This means that better production bases will be able to build this gear at a faster rate.
++ As a result of the replacement of the system where X blueprints produced the equivalent X Gear/Augmenter/Kit and a Y blueprint, which in turn produced the equivalent Y Gear/Augmenter/Kit and a Z blueprint, there are now research blueprints. The X blueprint can be found in The Acropolis, in the Industrial Station Gear X Blueprint Pack. Researching and unlocking Y and Z gear will still take 2/4 weeks without any build time modifiers, but you can build more than one research blueprint at a time and sell them to those who are not able to build them as quickly.
