GREEETINGS NEWSBEARERS!

We’ve just rolled out a small but impactful patch to keep your newsroom running smoothly!

Improvements

Improved estimation times for automated desks:

We have improved the estimation times displayed for automated desks. Timers now better reflect the actual remaining work time, even if an employee takes a break during item creation. Pneumatic tube setups will no longer throw off these estimates.

Bug Fixes

Fixed “What a Mess” Introduction Issue:

Resolved a bug where the first introduction bullet could be skipped and cause a soft lock.

Fixed Chain Item Stalling in Long Tubes:

Chain items will no longer get stuck in pneumatic tubes in setups spanning 8+ floors. Even after reroutes or mid-transit saves.

That is it for now!

Thank you for all your feedback and reports, they help us fine-tune the game. We’re already hard at work on the next update and will share more news with you very soon.

Stay tuned!
