Hellooo Newsbearers of the world! 🐻
With the Going International update out, we've been closely following your feedback and making adjustments to improve your newsroom experience. This patch brings a mix of improvements and bug fixes to ensure your global expansion runs smoothly! Along with more natural employee behavior and fine-tuned mechanics, we’ve also added Steam Cloud Saves, so your progress stays with you wherever you go. Let’s dive into the details!
🛠️ Improvements
- Steam Cloud saves have been added.
- Production employees now only help with the transportation of chain items that are supported by their assigned work station.
- Added new Europe and Passive Desk traits to calendars throughout the game.
- Tags on guides and quest pop-ups are now clickable, allowing you to sort the article side drawer.
