Beta 20 Released!
The new Research Tree is replacing the current tier system and is now live in Beta 20. You will be able to unlock exactly what you want. This means that you don't have to wait anymore for tiers to unlock, you're now completely in control. All the features of Startup Company are unlocked via the Research Tree and not only items that used to be limited by old tier system.
Note: If you were higher than Tier 5 you will get 2.000 Research Points (RP) when you're upgrading to Beta 20.
Weve implemented the Centralized Clockrate Controller (CCC) in Startup Company, which is a highly requested feature by our community. This new unit can control the clockrate for up to 500 servers. A practical example would be: if you reach 90% overall CU usage, the CCC will change the clockrate from 50% to 100%. We're looking forward to see how everyone will make use of this new feature! Together with the new and improved XServers you'll now be able to ensure your company is ready for the future - especially when you're being DDoS'd or get a viral boost!
With the release of Beta 20 two new server types are now available: the Small and the Large XServer. These new servers are a lot bigger compared to the existing servers. The servers also generates a lot of heat and a higher energy consumption per throughput. The XServers are a great choice to combine with the CCC to keep expenses low, while still having the power to overcome increased traffic.
If you have been playing with 100+ racks, you probably know that the game starts lagging when you click a rack or navigate around the server room. We've been able to make this piece of code 80% faster. Hopefully this eliminates lag for most setups. As always, we're dedicated to make sure everything runs smoothly by fixing potential issues, listening to the community and continue the development by working towards Beta 21. In case you're wondering what's coming up in Beta 21 make sure to take a look at our updated roadmap from January 4, 2019.

Huge improvements to hosting/server code
