Today's patch introduces a hotly requested quality of life feature that should make managing your buildings much easier.
The "Paused" state will be automatically applied to any building that has insufficient funds for upkeep. When the necessary upkeep funds are provided, the building will resume operations automatically without the need to manually re-enable it.
Check out a preview of this feature in action:
We've also added some new visual effects for planes and ships, along with some additional bug fixes and QOL improvements. Take a look at the full patch notes below, and let us know what you think!
Patch Notes - Early Access Version 0.9.0.1299
Updates & Changes
- Previously buildings have had only On and Off states - now they also have Pause. Paused buildings don’t function normally. Buildings are set on Pause when they don’t have dirty money for upkeep, and they automatically automatically resume their work when money is delivered (while On and Off states can be toggled only by player himself)
- The links between buildings have been improved, Pause and Turn off states are now displayed
- Loyalty and Terror bars first appearances are now animated in tutorial
- Removed character upkeep warning describing logistics issues
