PROMOTION REQUIREMENTS FOR ENGINEERS

Bella has now decided on the promotion requirements for the next rank in the game - Engineer - and she is continuing with the code needed to implement this.

You will need to carry out 30 infrastructure builds on your planet, after which you will be able to promote when you choose. It won't matter which builds you do, so long as there are at least 30, although you are advised to ensure that your infrastructure includes the things you need to stave off disaffection, otherwise you may have problems after you promote.

You will then be able to use the 'PROMOTE' command, and at the next reset you will advance to the Engineer rank and your planet's exchange will be re-rolled as a resource economy.

You cannot just stay at Founder doing an infinite number of infrastructure builds; once you have done 35 builds, you will promote at the next reset automatically.

However, since some players have already done more than 35 builds, there will be a transitional period of a couple of weeks after the promotion code is implemented, before that upper limit is enforced. More information on how this will work nearer the time.

Now, I know you are all dying to know exactly when the promotion code will be ready, so on your behalf I broached the question with Our Illustrious Leader:

Hazed asks, "I am not sure I should ask this, but... any idea when the promotion to Engineer will be
ready?"
Hazed ducks.
Catspaws stands far away from Hazed so she doesn't become collateral damage
Bella says, "two, weeks, Xmas, or possibly soon"
Bella says, "or not as the case may be"

I guess that's the best we could hope for!
