Update 5 - Less Sleepiness, Demolish Tooltip, and Thank You for Reviewing us!

Hi Everyone!

In the comments of Update 4 there were a few people mentioning how the sleepiness mechanic needs improvement. So, today we spent some time working on that using a few of the save games you sent to us. We've made some progress and depending on your city layout you may notice it's improved, but there's still more to do.

Here are the changes for the latest build:

Version 0.7.1858

Improvements

  • Added tooltip for the demolish button on the building ui that shows how many resources will be recovered

  • Improved citizen walk paths on the winery, pottery workshops, and large charcoal maker

  • Tuned citizen walk speed inside buildings to be faster

  • Various tweaks and changes to help improve excessive 'sleepiness' issues. You'll need to let the save run for an in-game day or two to take effect (more improvements are coming in a future patch as well)

Fixes

  • Fixed carts being able to pick up resources their supplier didn't store

  • Fixed carts not traveling on bridges

  • Fixed supplier select mode staying active after closing the building info ui

  • Fixed being able to duplicate gold from demolishing
