Content Update 2 is coming in August!

Hey there,

We have some great news for you about the biggest Content Update yet, which is due to be released in August! Today, we would like to show you the new content, which includes many of the features that the community has been wishing for!

There’s truly something for everyone: from more automation with new incident commanders and vehicles, to improved base building, all the way to visual details and enhancements at incident sites.

Incident Commanders: Automation at the scene and new vehicles

With this new type of staff member and three new vehicles, you’ll be able to automate work at incident scenes. Once an incident commander has been assigned to a mission, it’s no longer necessary to give units specific instructions. The incident commanders coordinate operations and tell staff what to do.

Living Scenes

From now on, vehicles remain visible at the scene, and players can optionally specify their exact parking position. Crew members exit the vehicles, and certain tasks – such as providing medical care, extinguishing fires or making arrests – are visually depicted. Furthermore, operations that block the road now cause traffic jams.

Enhanced Base Building

We have completely overhauled the base building system and implemented the two most requested features. You can now build multiple storeys and connect the individual floors with stairs or poles. Furthermore, roads can now be laid out flexibly. There are no longer any pre-defined large road blocks that can only be built in specific locations. Instead, you can build roads just like rooms, in any configuration you like. This makes it much easier to build emergency response centres in a far more realistic way.

More Hospitals and Prisons

Through research, you can unlock additional hospitals and prisons, which can be placed anywhere on the map.

New Missions

To add more variety to the game, more than 30 new missions and additional tasks await you.

New Finance Menu

With the new update, the finance menu now clearly displays the history of the last few days and weeks. This allows you to better assess your financial situation and progress.

Map Update

The map data has been updated and further issues with junctions have been resolved. Service roads connecting public roads are now also displayed in the game. In addition, there are some minor graphical improvements to roads and buildings.

Balancing

We have continued to work on balancing, focusing in particular on reducing the stress levels in Relaxed mode.

Performance and Stability Improvements

As always, we’ve continued to improve performance and fixed a number of crashes.

We’re looking forward to your feedback and will let you know as soon as the content update is available!
