Hello everyone! You might have noticed that we initially released this patch last week. One of the fixes was to address the low FPS issues people were having, but that fix caused some secondary issues! We rolled that fix back for now, but wanted to get the rest of the improvements out to you!
Many of you have been enjoying the new 0.9 progression challenges, but many of you also requested that some of the new features be customizable!
In custom games, you can now:
Disable import limits
Allow all items to be imported
Expensive Clothing, Expensive Jewelry, Smartphones and Smartwatches can be imported from the import docks
Urgent Order Fees can be customized
Both Wholesaler and Importer Urgent Order fees can be customized.
Additionally, the Urgent Order fees are now based on game difficulty, making the Import penalty much less painful in easy and normal game modes! You should see this change reflected in your current story-mode games!
Here are a few fixes for when you don't exactly follow Uncle Fred's guidance, so the game doesn't get stuck!
If you buy out a store and then change the type of store, it will progress through the quest after you set up inventory deliveries
If you previously had this issue, you will have to buy a new business, but it will now allow you to buy a cheap business and change it!
