GREAT NEWS YOU´VE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR! ːsteamthumbsupː
It's been quite a while but thankfully Stephen managed to bring a plethora of bug fixes and some new features before the holiday! You can take a look at the changelog from the title screen or here, down below. Notably, the most infamous bugs have been addressed. Meeple getting stuck, doctors going on strike, and lazy janitors.

The largest feature in this patch is the 'zones' menu where you can setup areas by selecting different rooms and assigning specific meeple/crew to restrict where they can and can't go , a handy way to cut down on pathfinding costs because the pathfinder will ignore restricted areas.

The new version is available NOW in 'Experimental - pre-patch version' (will be officially released in the next few days after Testing), just select it by right clicking the game in your Steam Library.
