Hi.

Does the upgrade timers been changed for anyone lately ?

Especially low level buildings like Storage Silo 9 -> 10 being 24 hr instead of 60, Supply Depot 6 -> 7 being 12 instead of 24 and Recycling Plant 4 -> 5 being 17 or 27 instead of 66.
From memory, Armory, Munitions and Military Markets also had faster upgrades.
I'm not 100% sure about the numbers as I triggered an upgrade already but I'm pretty sure it's way faster now.

High level building like Nuclear Power Plants, Oil Rigs, Space Center... has no change.

Anyone or I'm just high ?

Hmm sure wish I would've looked before starting my newest upgrade 20 minutes ago.. But I'll look tomorrow when it's complete.

I've triggered an upgrade earlier this afternoon after looking several times cause really, that seemed too good to be true.

However, I'm a bit surprised that nobody at all reported anything like that, making me wonder if that's for real or not.

I also check in 6-7 hours. That would be great news if it is true. :)

Nop, I have 7 parts.
This appeared "randomly" after I upgraded a lot of my unit buildings, for exemple I have 7 on Barracks, 7 on Air Field and 7 on War Factory, upgraded all in order to complete map missions.

Call me superstitious but at least that happened for me, an Oil Refinery from 2 to 3 just took 24 hrs instead of the usual time again.
Depots, Armories, Silos, Oil Derrick, Communication Center, Munitions, Military Market, Recycling Plant, Ore Mine and Oil Refinery had timers affected for me.
Natural Gas Plant I'm not sure.
Everything else including Satellite Array (low level) was unchanged.
Not sure about Desalination Plant but my first upgrades were 4 and 12 hrs.


If there was a "secret" like that, I'd have expected people to have found out already, I haven't done anything special or gotten any extra items that gave faster upgrade times.
