Hrm... are top tier factories/forges meant to be giving 8 jobs now instead of 10? - I logged in to find I had billions of very angry unemployed specialists and no easy fix for their situation. Mid-tier fabs/forges are still giving 5 jobs and top tier labs still give 10.
I don't see that change in the notes.
Same here. It sure confused me, considering that tier 2 factories/labs produce 5 jobs, making building 2 tier 2 buildings more resource efficient than building a single tier 3 one. Someone screwed the pooch on this one.
