Build 5396- 2026-08-26
• New "Sandbox Mode"
• Experimental "Modular building system" - Create custom building layout based on your preference.
• Placement preview adjustments to account for new build system

Sandbox mode — New Game → Campaign / Sandbox → farm level; sandbox starts with large cash ($999,999); flag saved so Continue/Load keep sandbox rules

Experimental "Modular building system" gated to sandbox — modular pieces only in sandbox for now; campaign still has prefabs and the rest of the game
