Hello Builder,
Second patch in the “Improving player quality of life” series
This time we've improved filter visualization and added automatic triggers when you perform certain actions.
The crop filter appears when you place a cultural building, and the resource filter appears when you place a production building.
There have also been a number of additions to the tutorial to help you better understand certain game mechanics.
