Replace flat GPU buying with a realistic data center + rack pipeline:
- 4 DC tiers (small/medium/large/mega) with construction time, dual
capacity constraints (rack slots + power budget kW), and era/research
gating
- 10 predefined rack SKUs from consumer GPUs through custom ASICs, each
with unique FLOPS, power draw, cost, and pipeline timings
- 6-stage procurement pipeline (order → mfg → receive → install → test
→ production) with Kanban UI, talent-influenced speed bonuses
- Test failures (5-25% base rate) reduced by cooling, ops talent, and QA
research; auto-repair with cost and re-test cycle
- Production failures at low per-tick rate, racks sent to repair pipeline
- Cooling and redundancy upgrades per DC (reduce failure rates)
- 4 new tech tree nodes (DC Engineering II/III/IV, Quality Assurance)
- Save version bump (1→2) with migration that resets old saves
- Updated economy system to account for rack repair costs
- Redesigned Infrastructure page with pipeline Kanban, capacity bars,
rack ordering, and DC upgrade panels
