The Mini stations get a job. Every Mini you place is now a bench for its Grand building, and the Grand no longer grows with station level. One rule covers all four: a Mini is how you upgrade the Grand.
- Minis upgrade the Grand. Each Mini Furnace, Mill, Juicer or Cauldron you place gives its Grand one more bench, so it works one more batch at once, and two more places in its queue. There is no limit. Each copy costs more than the last, and from the second on, some of that station's own goods.
- Minis no longer cook on their own. Tapping a Mini opens its Grand's menu from wherever the Mini stands, with Move and Uproot for that Mini at the bottom. The raw-crop rule goes with it: every recipe is made at the Grand. A Mini's chimney lights while the Grand is working, and a small sparkle above it says a batch is ready at the Grand.
- Station level no longer grants benches. A Grand starts with one bench and two free queue slots, and grows only through Minis and prestige Bench picks. Existing farms will see each Grand drop to one bench plus one per Mini already placed. Anything already on a bench keeps cooking.
- Bought queue room is refunded. The Sigils spent on the tray square's extra queue slots come back in full on first launch. That square now opens the Structures row for the next Mini, with its price shown.
- Cheaper Juicer and Cauldron Minis. The first Mini Juicer is 10,000 Sigils, down from 20,000, and the first Mini Cauldron 50,000, down from 200,000. The doubling ramp is unchanged.
- Uproot a Mini any time. Even mid-cook: batches already on a bench finish, the ones waiting move back a little, and nothing is lost.
- Batches a Mini was cooking carry over. They move into the Grand's queue on first launch and finish on schedule.
The old Minis were a smaller copy of a building you already had for free, which is why nobody built them. Tell me how the new ones feel once you have two or three standing.
