Improvements
* Increased the maximum camera distance by 50%.
* Added a new adaptive simulation speed mode that lowers the sim rate before frames start dropping, keeping the game smooth under heavy load. It is the new default and can be changed in the settings.
* Mine and forestry towers areas, and logistics zones, can now be edited together. Editing one area shows all of them at once so it is easy to switch between them.
* Added a configurable Ctrl+M shortcut to open tower area editing directly without going through an inspector.
* Hovering a tower area now highlights the tower it belongs to and shows a connecting line.
* Surface clearing now respects truck zone construction filters.
* Train station modules now distribute products evenly between both sides.
* Reworked linked storages:
- A storage can now only be linked to a single station.
- Logistics is automatically disabled on the linked side while the station is loading or unloading it, preventing trucks from "stealing" reserved cargo or space from trains.
- Port restriction sliders now reduce the storage amount and capacity available for train reservations.
* Improved train pathfinder heuristics to discourage routing through other stations and network waypoints when an alternative exists. Trains far from a busy station are now much less likely to try to squeeze through it.
* Removing a waypoint now replaces it with the matching base track (electrified waypoints leave electrified track, normal waypoints leave normal track).
* Mining designations now ignore bushes and stumps that sit below the designated mining level.
* Train UI improvements such as job information to the train status row or a new open inspector button to arrivals.
* Trucks will no longer deliver parts in small amounts when products are low and are trickling in to storages one by one.
* Recovery saves now preserves logistics zones.
* Console commands now reject undefined enum values instead of silently accepting them.
* Improved console command error messages and help formatting.
Performance
* Construction and deconstruction are now processed in chunks, greatly reducing the cost of dense construction sites (measured ~4x speedup in vehicle buffer balancing on a large save, with spikes reduced from 40ms to 10ms).
* Added a vehicle connectivity manager that detects unreachable destinations without running a full pathfinding search, drastically reducing pathfinding cost and stuck-vehicle behavior in disconnected areas (over 10x pathfinding savings on some saves).
Fixes
* Vehicles no longer show red "cannot reach" lines and notifications for targets they do not need to path to anymore.
* Fixed level crossings not closing when a track was under deconstruction.
* Fixed the new-content dot not clearing when a building was upgraded.
* Mod config dialog now allows typing negative numbers for parameters whose minimum bound permits it.
* Fixed pause button not working for trains parked at a depot while assigned to a network.
* Fixed train network product statistics ignoring the per-station train limit.
* Fixed stacker tower incorrectly reporting invalid rail segments.
* Fixed active settlement bonus UI indicator showing "" before the floater faded in, and the warning color not being applied to the right element.
* Fixed non-storable products being assignable to train station modules by feeding them in, bypassing the train compatibility check used by the UI pickers.
* Fixed pollution values shown in vehicle, locomotive, and train designer tooltips ignoring the fuel-consumption and pollution game difficulty multipliers.
* Fixed "stored quantity" being shown on the settlement internet provided building.
* Fixed visual flicker and notification toast spam caused by same-tick notification retriggers.
* Fixed stale arrival rules after replacing station modules with an incompatible type.
* Fixed train capacity changes through edicts leaving unrealistically high loading targets that could prevent the train from departing.
* Fixed waypoints being assignable as fuel stations in train networks.
* Fixed stacker tower keeping a stale target after a configuration change when no input was available.
* Fixed trucks swarming to a single excavator instead of distributing across multiple available ones.
* Fixed truck pickups stalling at storage buffers that never naturally fill up; partial loads are now allowed after 60 seconds without activity.
* Fixed hydrogen ship engine particles.
