Hi everyone!
This patch contains a lot of balancing fixes, which should make it easier to make profit on the one hand and calm down live mode on the other hand.
The patch is currently live on the public-test branch*, which can be accessed in the preferences of the game and will be out for everyone this afternoon (when I know it's all working well, wanted to give you access asap but not accidentally break anything =) ).
Let me know if you have questions, feedback or issues! =)
Changelog:
Fixed: Creating a profile where the name has spaces at the end lead to a bug not loading any festivals.
Optimized: Tweaked even more AI parameters to lower the chance of stuck agents.
Balancing: Reduced the amount of trash visitors will produce.
Balancing: Reduced the amount of fights and pickpocket events happening at once.
