🧼 Features

• Mark I: Cleans once per hour, requires restart every 8 hours.
• Mark II: Cleans every 30 minutes, requires restart every 24 hours.
• Mark III: Cleans every 0.25 hours (15 minutes), never requires restart—now with enhanced visual effects.

🌀 Advanced automatic cleaning mechanics:

1. Operates only within fully enclosed indoor spaces with an intact roof. Functions normally even in vacuum or oxygen‑free environments, as long as the room is sealed and roofed.
2. Will not activate if placed outdoors, near map edges, or in rooms with missing roof sections.
3. Requires connection to the electrical grid; exposure to rain may cause short‑circuiting and shutdown.
4. Includes icon prompts for power status, outdoor placement, and restart state.

🔬 Dedicated research branch: Unlock cleaner tiers through the custom “Clean Tech” research path. 🔧 Balanced gameplay:

• Each tier has distinct cost and research requirements; building work times rebalanced for gameplay flow.\n
• Supports removal and reinstallation (minifiable), allowing flexible layout adjustments.

🌍 Language Support: - Now includes Simplified Chinese, with more languages to come!
