Hi!
I've released a few updates over the past days/weeks, here's what's new in v0.66.36.
Landing pads can now be customized
A new Barista trait was added, and the Bartender trait is improved to work with coffee makers in addition to bars.
A new decorative, Scarecrow, was added which has a minor effect.
You can now view power and pollution breakdowns.
Someone asked why the house interior is always tiny even when upgraded to three storeys. So house interiors are now improved and now go up to three storeys!
On the experimental branch, the house building system is now available to try! This system is still in a very early preview/prototype state. Do let me know your thoughts on this if you get to try it out.
9 extra grids were added to bird island
Many improvements were also made, such as inventory resizing, displaying of trait levels in schools, clone improvements, etc.
