Summary
This is a minor bugfix patch that focuses on the following:
- Employee system stability, especially in multiplayer
- Fixing crafting recipes not consuming sometimes
- More save/load fixes
- Minor memory leak fixes
Next week, we'll continue to focus on reducing the amount of memory the game consumes over long play sessions which should increase framerate and overall stability. These memory fixes will take a bit longer to profile and fix, but we believe that it will be really worth it.
Thank you all very much for your continuous feedback on the Steam forums and https://discord.gg/Saleblazers -- everything helps. We also really enjoy seeing save files that have been emailed in. We hope that you'll be able to enjoy Saleblazers to its fullest extent as soon as possible!
