NEW
- Marinas and boats
- Library: speeds up the education level growth of nearby buildings
- Radius showing bus and train station serviced area
- Smooth terrain mode: can be activated in the gameplay settings menu, -before- loading a city
- Thai Localization (Special thanks to Cherdphong Sutithep, Plan Pimlada and Chinnapat Sawatwongvicha)
BUG FIXES
- AM buildings could not progress to stage 2 and above if demand for BM was negative.
- Service buildings were sometimes very difficult to select.
- Destroying a large area while in pause and with a government building involved could make some buildings indestructible or stop the city's growth
- Gov headquarters stage 2+ could not be selected and opened (fixed for new headquarters or if still on Stage 1)
- Changing a lot zone type were causing some visual bugs, displaying wrong max stage and creating incorrect vacant lot size
- Parks monthly cost was not counted in the total expenses!
- In rare cases the power capacity of all cities could add up to zero and cause a divide by zero error.
- Destroying a train station could in some cases stop the city's growth.
- The broken water pipe visual effect was spawning in the air or inside buildings
- Unemployment can no longer go below -10% or above 99% to prevent "NaN" bug and extreme inflation and approval values.
- Pedestrian walkways button displayed wrong maintenance cost
- Ends of pedestrian bridges were misaligned
- Enact policy button tooltip was displaying incorrect stability impact
- A state owned building that was under construction when exiting the city was not reloaded at its correct position and could be seen floating above the map
- Additional safeguards to prevent infinite plane spawning
- UI volume setting was apparently still not saved
CHANGES/BALANCING
- Participation rate now increases when the education level increases. Expect a slightly higher unemployment rate in educated cities.
- Removed central bank infinite money exploit
- Fasten the reaction of the economy to changes. The larger the city the faster demands can be impacted by changes.
- A lack of workforce was not decreasing the demand of commercial and industrial buildings
- Destroying and decayed buildings no longer give back business demand points (demand is recovered progressively by the economy anyway)
- Tax rates can now be increased even without enough stability points
- The student capacity of universities is now counted from all universities in the Nation (reloading cities with universities necessary). Universities working over
capacity now have a lower grade and a lesser effect on the education level.
- Improved bus and train usage (especially for cities with lots of stops close to each other).
- Added incentives for commuters to use highways and increased the capacity of highway access roads, now 30000 (before was 500 - need to be rebuilt to get the new capacity)
- Bankruptcy process no longer sells and destroys roads
- Bankruptcy no longer induces "free power" production situation
- Profits from sales of service buildings and private properties during bankruptcy multiplied by 2
- Improvements to road/avenue intersections to support more cases.
- Moved grass and tree tools under the terraforming section
- State owned buildings can no longer catch fire
