I really enjoyed this entry. I’ve always been a fan of the first alkahistorian, and this style of gameplay has always been super interesting to me.
I really like the progression in this one, and would’ve loved to see more things like the arc furnace that replace earlier buildings. This is the type of game I could really see being expanded with further content to ridiculous amounts.
Bits of feedback: I’d love to zoom out using the scroll wheel, since scaling the browser affects all webpages and makes the right panel harder to read. I wish the canvas expanded in the up and left directions as well. Towards the end of the game there were certain resources whose production was very hard to increase, like water, stone, and coal. I would’ve preferred to see some sort of (complicated, so it doesn’t trivialize the game) system of nodes that could form a positive feedback loop, so late game starts increasing production through transmutation. Perhaps using some of the other resources to allow it to happen - earth, notably, wasn’t very useful mid-late game.
Overall, I was really happy to be able to play this game and I can’t wait to see what you work on next!
