Hey Builders!
It’s been a few days since the release of the American Houses DLC. We’ve been reading your reviews and feedback closely, and we know there are some technical bumps and rough edges that need ironing out. Rather than wasting any time, we got straight to work.
Today, we're releasing Hotfix #1 - our first batch of updates aimed at clearing out the most critical issues reported so far.

Hotfix #1 - Patch Notes
Quality of Life & Construction Mechanics
Window & Glass Door Assembly: Resolved an issue that bugged out during the assembly of windows and glass doors.
Garage Door Colliders: Adjusted the collision box above garage doors that was preventing drywall placement right above the gate.
Roof Construction: Disabled the ability to build roofs using mismatched wooden elements.
Scenarios & DLC Fixes
DLC Mission Blockers: Resolved progression blockers across DLC scenarios 19, 20, and 21. This includes fixes for the sand dumping mechanic in those levels.
Visuals & Graphics
Roof Visual Glitches: Fixed graphic glitches occurring on roofs.
Terrace Visual Glitches: Resolved visual artifacts and glitches on terraces.
Bug Reporting
Fixed the in-game bug reporting tool. Players can now successfully submit reports directly to us so we can catch remaining bugs faster.

We are keeping this momentum going and laying the groundwork for even more improvements. If you stumble across any other issues on the construction site, please use the newly fixed in-game reporting tool, let us know on the Steam Community Hub, or drop by our Discord server. Thank you for your continued support and honest feedback!

Stay constructive and keep it concrete!

Thanks for reading and for helping us turn pixels into real-world impact.
If you’ve got ideas, want to hang out, or just love talking bricks and blueprints, hop onto our Discord:

We’ve also prepared a special branch for you to jump into if you want to downgrade a game version (v.1.7) for a while in case of some problems or game-breaking glitches.
Here’s the code for the branch ->
There you should also have the option to send the items you’ve created directly into the Steam Workshop. To create your own item to the Steam Workshop open a tool that should be downloaded by default with the new update. To check if it’s installed properly first enter your library and change the visibility of tools.
Press the list that should say “Games” or “All” and make sure the Tools section is marked.
Then Navigate to the Builder Simulator - Workshop Exporter (or search it via the search bar) and make sure it’s properly installed.
Now you can press play on the Workshop exporter and the tool should guide you through the steps of creating your own item into the game. When the item is ready simply click “Prepare Item” then “Send Item” and Verify it on your Steam Workshop. After all that you’re ready to download the full item from the Steam Workshop (By default it’s unsubscribed so you need to subscribe it manually).
If you have any troubles with the Steam Workshop, we’ll prepare a more detailed tutorial in the next Devlog. Let us know if you need that in discussion under this Devlog.
Just before we finish everything up, we just wanted to remind you about the recent release of Builder Simulator VR, and about the special Bundle we’ve prepared just for you!

As always thank you for sticking with us until the end!
We can’t wait to hear your opinions and see the items you’ve created for the game!
Cheers!
~Jacob and the Frozen Way Team!
This is all of the peeks I can give you right now…
Stay tuned for more information about the update!
Cheers!

Good luck and have fun!
LMG Team
But what you see above is not everything. You were pretty fond of our customization we've created for you (30.37%), the fact that you could build a house from scratch (25.70%- we see you sims fans!), what missions are waiting for you (22.12%) and the interior design (19.47 %). Interior design (19.47%), sandbox mode (17.91%), blueprints (17.91%), and career mode (16.50%) are not so far behind.
But there are some not so loved by you things and of course, we're talking about bugs (25.70%), but who loves them right? Although you liked our career mode, you collectively thought that there are not enough of them (23.05%) the same as with tools (19.47%)- don't know how our dev team will feel about OVER 9000 more tools, but we'll talk about it :D
But like we've mentioned at the beginning - gold star for all of you for your contribution because you had been a real help in suggestions and options for changes.
Lots of you would like to see even more flooring (58.10%), and as mentioned earlier - even more tools (24.61%). You would be also happy if much more architectural styles would appear in our game (19.47%) and if there would be an option to change how the tool menu looks (20.90%)
As you can see - there were some pretty neat answers to revisit and think about!
Thank you again for your help and contribution to our game, and till next time!
