Patch 0.15 - UI Update, Balance and Gameplay Bugs

It's time to retire the old orange UI, whilst it had charm the new UI is far more presentable and accessible.

Many new features can be found in the new UI such as objective tracking and a better understanding of staff stats.

Another major change, booths will now "call cars" to their lane when other lanes are getting busy to help rebalance cars. This will help prevent cars piling up in one lane whilst other queues are empty.

Please provide any feedback through the steam community forum or any of our channels such as Discord.

[Gameplay]

- Booths now "call cars" in adjacent lanes to their booth - but only when staffed and have less than 4 cars.
