The Investycoon team hopes you had a great summer. On our end, a lot has changed: a reworked company onboarding, more visibility into your finances, a real rental market with turnover, two new sectors to work with, and plenty of changes under the hood. Here's a full rundown of what's waiting for you if you pick your business back up.
Onboarding built for new entrepreneurs
Creating your first company used to feel a bit like jumping in the deep end with little guidance. That's fixed: when you create a company, you now get 4 simple objectives to learn the company module step by step:
- Extract a first resource,
- Sell it on the common market,
- Assign a robot employee to your tool,
- Take out a first loan.
A 5,000 KET reward is paid out once all 4 objectives are completed.
Another welcome change: the starter tool or machine matching your sector (pickaxe, axe, etc.) is now given to you for free when you create your company, instead of having to buy it yourself. That means you can start producing right away, without worrying about not having enough money to get going.
These changes come alongside plenty of other usability and navigation improvements across the interface, making the overall game easier to pick up.
Payment default and upcoming deadlines: more visibility into your finances
Managing a loan or paying taxes blind is over. You can now view your upcoming loan repayment deadlines as well as upcoming taxes, directly from your company dashboard. This feature is still young and will keep improving through the end of the year.
⚠️ One thing to watch out for: if a payment fails, it's the player — not the company, at least for now — who enters payment default, which currently triggers the forced sale of their land. Keep an eye on your deadlines so you don't get caught off guard.

Rental investing: turnover is here
The rental market is getting more dynamic. You can now raise the rent for an existing tenant (under certain rules) or terminate a lease when the situation no longer works for you.
The flip side: rental turnover is now active. Tenants won't stick around forever — expect to regularly look for new tenants to replace the ones who leave and keep your properties profitable.

Also new...
- A daily helping hand: a 5 KET daily income has been added to help struggling players avoid getting stuck.
- Two new sectors: petrochemistry now lets you produce plastic from ethylene and asphalt from heavy oil residue, while assembly (manufacturing) lets you build gears, circuit boards, and engines.
- Redesigned land map: new designs and added filters to help you find the right plot faster.
- Various fixes across the map, navigation, and notifications, plus a pricing rebalance.
New legend and new filters (status, ownership, resource) on the land map.
On our end, the community keeps growing steadily: the Investycoon beta now counts more than 60 registered players on the public server. Your company, meanwhile, is exactly where you left it.
