Change the way research works (or change how the market works)

Make all building of a tier accessible (if you have that tier unlocked of course). Only exception to plantations, since they are basically upgrades to the normal farm.

Building upgrades work as normal: you research them, the buildings get the upgrade.

Don't lock the next tier behind money. Make the next tier automatically accessible if you completed X building upgrades. Even "research all tier I upgrade to unlock tier II" is viable.


Money is a limiting resource: I need them to unlock the next tier, unlock the buildings necessary to produce new drugs and to build such buildings and expand my production line.
However the price of opium keeps going down because of market adjustment: so basically I can't do anything about it.


Changing how the market works can also fix the issue. If the prices don't go down as much, then expanding would be possible.

My main iffy thing is that all the upgrades per tier are proprietary to said tier. So if you research Tier 1 farm upgrades they do nothing to help the Tier 2 farm. Makes lower tier upgrades seem pointless other than just rushing the higher tiers and upgrading then.

Hi! Thank you for the valuable feedback, I've gotten it to the devs!

The tier 1 building upgrades seem very useful to get what you need instead of having to do all the research to get the upgrades of tier 2. At least that's how I experienced it in my story mode game. Ofc you still need to get to tier 2 to unlock like new drugs and stuff but I didn't mind the tree too much overall.
