1.The pause button works on a full size keyboard. 2.The plus and minus keys on the horizontal number layout works to speed up the game x2, x4 etc. These keys are located after the number 7,89,0, - , + 3.The map provided is for testing purposes. i didnt find any other maps. 4.Difficulty settings are not the main issue currently because we are not testing the performance of the ai yet. Just the new game mechanics.

Yeah. This is good to speed up the research part of the game because more labs or extra labs means more capacity to research multiple items simultaneously with regards to tier level. Therefore two tier 4 techs can be researched together if there's 8 labs? I think this is what you mean?
