With the buttons under {H:Temporary} you can hire staff temporarily. They will stay until their job is done or until you dismiss them. Hovering over the buttons will show you their terms. Press {H:Finish} to end the tutorial.

With the buttons under {H:Permanent} you can hire staff permanently to clean, fix your furniture, etc. You can see their salary by hovering over the buttons. They will show up once a day until you dismiss them. You can change their working hours using the buttons in the list.

This is the staff window. At the top you will see a list of your currently employed staff, whether permanent or temporary.

Begin by opening the staff window.

While you made your choices, the game made some choices on your behalf in the background. The game's choices might not be optimal, but you can safely start development at this point. If you want to dive deeper into dependencies, frameworks and market targeting, you can switch to the advanced version of the design document by clicking {H:Advanced}, otherwise just click {H:Develop}.

If you destroy a server group completely, all processes will be unsupported, which can have major consequences. If this happens you should click the {H:View unsupported processes} button and redelegate all processes to other servers. Press End to finish the tutorial.

From here you can manage your servers and check if they are overheating. If you select a server group, you can see a list of all processes running on that server group. You can then move those processes to other servers by pressing {H:Move Selected Processes}. You can also pick a fallback server, which will handle a server group's processes if the group breaks down.

Outside of connecting servers, you can use wire mode to get an overview of your server connections. Exit wire mode and bring up the server window when you are ready.

You can connect or disconnect servers in wire mode by clicking on a server and then on another server. You can also select all the servers you want to connect using {KeyBind:MultipleSelect}, {KeyBind:SweepSelect} or dragging a rectangle with {KeyBind:NormalSelection} and then press {KeyBind:ContextMenu} and press {H:Connect servers}. The load you put on a group of connected servers will be distributed among every server in the group. If one server in a group breaks down, the entire group stops working. Open the server wiring interface by clicking the wire button.

To the right you will now see a list of all tech levels currently researched for the chosen specialization and whether they have a patent owner. At the bottom you can see a button to start researching this specialization, which requires designers with a level 3 specialization of the type you want to research. Researching new tech before anyone else will allow you to apply for a patent using {H:Service} employees with the level 3 {H:Law} specialization. If you own the patent to a tech level, all companies using it will have to pay a royalty fee off their sales.

The research window allows you to research a specialization to unlock a new tech level. The newest tech level will always be inaccessible until you've researched it, but they will unlock as you or your competitors research the next tech level. Try clicking one of the specializations in the left panel.

Start the tutorial by pressing the {H:Research} button to bring up the research window.

When you are done making your design, click the {H:Project management} button, instead of the {H:Develop} button, to assign your new design to the project queue.

The bottom panel tells you which projects are currently queued and lets you cancel or take them over. Before the project can begin you have to either pick a product you've released to use as a prototype for future projects or assign a project directly from the design document window. You can also pick previous products, if you just want your leader to manage tasks for already released products, e.g. marketing, support, updates and distribution. Go to the {H:Design document window}.

You'll notice a new panel that tells you whether the leader has made any mistakes, which negatively impacts projects they are handling. Mistakes will start to happen when the effectiveness bar gets below the blue marker, but your lead designer will work to avoid this. The more leader skill your leader has, the quicker they'll be able to fill the bar. The bar can be filled 2 times higher than needed, which will allow the leader 2 months off without it going below the marker, if they fill it fully.

Now open the project management detail window for your new project.

Now look through each of the options to control how the projects should be handled. You can hover over each label to get a detailed description. Note that some options might be greyed out, because your leader doesn't have the necessary Automation level. You can see what each Automation level unlocks by hovering over the stars in the specialization overview for leaders in the Employee window, Team window or Employee detail window. Click OK when you're ready.

Project management let's you delegate a release cycle to a leader in your company, so they control everything from creating a design to supporting the product once it's released. A project management team needs a leader, with at least 1 star in the {H:Automation} specialization. The leader will dedicate all their time to keeping the project running, so it might be worthwhile to keep the leader in their own team. Start by selecting a leader to run the project and name your team.

Start by opening the project management window.

You'll find printers in the furnish menu. Small printers can be placed directly on conveyor belts and larger printers can be placed on the ground to drop boxes on conveyor belts adjacent to them.
