THE FIRST TECHNOCRATS

by Hazed

Now that he has finished work on the new version of Tesla, Alan has turned his attention to the next rank - Technocrat. He has wiggled his magic coding fingers to promote members of the test team to this exalted level, so they can test the builds as he codes them. The first build, which is in now, is anti-grav architecture - the ability to build extremely tall tower blocks, thus allowing you to pack even more people into a small space. You can read the details of the build here.

Right now, the final decision on how many builds you need to promote to Technocrat hasn't been taken, but it's probably going to be around the 100 mark, or thereabouts, ish.

In case you have forgotten, Technocrat is the rank at which you can add objects and events to your planet - at least you will be able to once Alan has finished re-coding the necessary workbench tools!

Promotion to Technocrat means that some of the builds you carried out at lower ranks will vanish: telegraph, defense base, agricultural college and housing estates will not only cease to have effect but will disappear from the build list completely, thus lowering your total.

Auto-promote is still not implemented so once the promotion is released to the players in general, it's going to be up to you to decide when to go for it.
