Gameplay & Balancing

  • Economy: First responders' salaries have been reduced, and the number of available candidates for hire has been increased.

  • Progression: Employees learn and level up faster.

  • Main Network: The polymer content in the composition has been increased to 40%. A new technology now allows up to 5 refineries to be connected to the main network.

  • Continuity: You can now import your demo saves to continue your adventure in the full version.

Personnel Management

  • New “Replace” Feature: A “Hire to Replace” button has been added: the new employee will take over the position upon arrival, automatically freeing up the old one.

  • A new button in the block interface allows you to hire and assign an employee with a single click.

  • You can now immediately remove an employee’s assignment upon their dismissal.

  • Employees can now rest (eat/drink) even if there is a power or water outage in their sector.

  • Employees who need supplies for production can transport more per trip

Interface & Information (UI/UX)

  • Display of tank levels and estimated time remaining before resources are depleted.

  • It is now possible to manually empty the raw material tanks at the station.

  • When processing multiple items, the interface now displays the estimated production per product.

  • Clarification of how export limits work and addition of two additional tiers.

  • Addition of a visual indicator when a drilling well can no longer extract anything.

  • Automatic hiding of the bug report button on screens that are too small.

  • Zoom corrected on SteamDeck

Fixes

  • Fixed logistics lines that were ignoring set storage limits.

  • Fixed a bug where delivering a contract could empty the bank account and cause slowdowns. The tanker drone now disconnects correctly once the tanks are full.

  • Assembly line robots no longer pass through the floor of the upper level.
