R&D talent now grows through universities

Economy

The R&D workspace now presents the operating loop more clearly, while the shared researcher market is replenished from unemployed university graduates.

Research now connects directly to the world's education and labour systems:

- The redesigned R&D workspace brings offices, the available talent market, research teams, programs, and applied gains into a clearer operating flow. - The shared researcher market is replenished once per game day, primarily from citizens who have actually graduated from a university. - Only unemployed citizens can be listed or hired. Unhired listings rotate after several game days so the market does not stay static. - Building faculties, keeping them staffed, and graduating students now expands the future supply of research talent for the whole economy. - The fundamentals remain intact: corporations still need suitable office capacity, a hired and assigned team, an active program, iteration time, and enough cash to meet daily researcher payroll.

Graduates enter a shared market rather than belonging to the university that educated them. Strong education businesses benefit the wider world, while every corporation still competes to recruit and retain its team.

This change is live in the game right now.
