We've rolled out an update to the open Playtest build, including a new hard mode starting scenario, water upgrades and lots of quality of life and bug fixes!
New Content
New starting scenario: Rock Bottom (hardcore mode, you start with nothing)
Water trading guide can now be bought from Dr. Jackson New
Wild Network upgrades available in the open playtest: Retired Water Merchant, Gutterflow on Tap, Rustwater on Tap (Not the Water Trade Starting Scenario when starting a new game)
Quality of Life
Non-16:9 aspect ratios monitors can now use Full Screen mode, which will display black bars
Changes
Display case will no longer work on the first day if the tutorial is enabled to not mess up the tutorial sequence
Blank disposable keycards can no longer be inserted into the output slot of the cryptographic desequencer, to avoid confusion
Cassette player will resume playing on load if it was playing when the game was saved
Changed the sprite used to represent [Poison] in the underground exchange directive to the cyanide pill, to avoid confusion
The vacuum robot now displays more clearly that it only operates at night and that it has a manual function At -40 reputation with the Black Market, players now retain access to the janitorial service, but the cost is doubled
Players can no longer lose the game with the "Augmented" ending for missing too many augs, unless playing on Hard Mode Added a 60 FPS cap to prevent increased load on faster hardware
