Hey everyone!

Another week of refactoring goes by and brings us closer to an even more modular core of the game. The final boss is reaching the polishing phase very soon and should be in a testable state any week now.
Statistic goals now need to be claimed before you receive the reward. This change has been done in order to prepare for future rewards that will be things other than PowerStone slots.
We added a migration that will auto-claim all your previous unlocked goals, so you should have the same amount of slots unlocked after loading the game.

The remaining contracts for the Headquarters have been finally added to the game. This change actually revealed a few invalid or missing module tags which have been added and fixed in the course of this update.
Let us know in the comments which blueprint has the highest possible multiplier you can achieve while still being useful!
