Archaeology

Fixed redirect issue when unloading Salvage ship cargo. Remember ship must be at a port and idle (Does not need to be in a bay) to unload cargo! Click the cargo box icon and then the red unload button!
Bug Report #50 Resolved 'unable to refuel archaeology ships'.

Construction

Continued framework for 'groundwork' style construction jobs, expect announcements on this soon once testing has reached a more complete place. These jobs will be a focal point for young construction companies.

Exchange

Bug Report #31 Resolved 'Sometimes trailers would show inaccurate location when attempting to buy in exchange on used market'.
Made monthly update to NPC purchasing algorithms based on data, should see slight buffs to most sales, but nothing dramatic.

Head of State

Bug Report #52 Resolved 'Unable to see electronics prosperity numbers'
Added in prosperity requirements for levels 4 and 5 of prosperity.
A large rework continues to go on here, and currently any 'sales' will not impact prosperity so feel free to stockpile while we continue this large upgrade to the HoS system!
Added in framework for economic booms and busts for countries, regions and cities meaning certain periods will see higher or lower sales based on several factors that will be coming into play (Economy, Tourism, Supply of basic needs, luxury goods, etc.)

Logistics

Bug Report #54 Resolved 'unable to rest semi drivers'.
Bug Report #37 Resolved 'Intermittent distance discrepancies on some oceanic flights.'

Updated load distribution for Semi Loads, and began preparations for several new national level companies.

Manufacturing

Officially began testing of first baby version of blueprint manufacturing. This is a long awaited feature and we still have a lot of work to go, but early testing looks promising!
Prepared framework for blueprint transfers from city to city via plane (Expect availability next patch of basic function, with more advanced method in August)
Added weights and hauling methods to about half a dozen recipes that were missing this information.
Updated expiration timers on several recipes that are moving out of generic factory and into specialized factories (All visible on recipes page)

New Player Experience

Completed all 15 logistics starter missions and began first phase of testing.
Round two of testing completed on agricultural missions, once remaining bugs are squashed this will be considered 'Done' for the first baby release.
Began work on Construction starter missions, completed about 2 of these so far this week.

Resource Acquisition

Ran final tests of fuel delivery to mine sites. Reminder this goes LIVE August 1st!
Added in XP gain functionality. This is a long planned feature that allows working equipment to gain XP, which will then make that equipment more effective on future sites it is used on. This also applies to construction equipment. XP will be visible in the near future on the details page of each piece of equipment, and will be a factor in deciding whether you should overhaul and keep equipment or salvage/scrap it as it gets older and wears out quicker!
Continued work on 'Breakdown/Repair' functionality for mine sites. Expect more thorough testing in August and a launch likely in September, with documentation coming ahead of time (Stock up on spare parts, and get fleet maintenance facilities built, or work with a player who has these items!)

The Beyond

Wiki

Drafted (Not public yet, but will be next patch) article regarding vehicle maintenance and breakdowns for mine sites (will be very similar for construction sites)
Minor updates to several "Beyond" articles with new information.
Minor updates to mining articles in preparation for new information on refueling and above listed maintenance drafts.
