Update #21

Today’s addition is a quality-of-life improvement suggested by a player who had a good idea, which I implemented.

Addition :

• It is now possible, by clicking on an empty inventory slot icon in smelting furnaces, to open a sub-menu allowing you to select which resources you want to assign to it.

  • It is not possible to assign the same resource twice.

  • The “empty” icon must be visible.

  • If the selection menu is open and overlaps the button used to “empty” the inventory, that button will not work.

Bug fixes :

• If an employee was on strike, they would not resume work even if assigned to a machine.

• The red color indicating prices when you do not have enough money is working again.

• Employees no longer need to physically move in order to find a workstation.

• Assigned employees can no longer continue working on a machine that is being moved via the crafting menu.

• The sound played when closing an employee or machine menu is functional again.

With that said, I wish you all happy end-of-year holidays.
If you encounter any bugs, please report them. I will be working on T5 at the beginning of next year !

Update #21.1

Bug fixes :

• Context menus for presses now display their names correctly.

• Polishers are now able to polish all resources that pass through the machine.

Optimizations :

• I made a few changes to reduce lag. The impact is fairly minor, but not nonexistent.

  • Cameras consume fewer resources when they are not moving.

  • Context menus consume fewer resources, whether they are closed or open.

Update #21.2

This mini patch focuses on optimizing the code for resource management. I managed to gain nearly 20% in performance !

The only cost of this optimization applies when reloading your game: the ingots will not appear. But your next save will work.

Change :

• The minimum visible ingot parameter has been increased from 1% to 10%.
