Patent Research Problem
Adding the requirement for natural resources, to their corresponding extraction patents, created a problem. You can gather the natural resources by hand but there is no obvious way to supply them to the university.
The Store page on the building window now has a button that says, "Offer to Sell". This causes the building to open a private comm channel to you so you can use the Auction, For Sale, and Accept buttons to work out the deal. The button is never disabled so it can be used even if the building does not have a store. You must remain in the building site to communicate on the channel.
The Offer to Sell button is not exclusive to the university. It is available at all buildings with a Store page.
This was a tragic enough problem that an update was needed right away. It presented a tough hurdle for new emperors. That is why there was a late day update on a Friday.
An indirect method exists to supply the materials to a university, a work around, not intended as the way it should be done. The materials could be bartered for things at a building with a store. The university would get them from that store when it was trying to satisfy the needs of its processes. Few might have tried this.
