As always, Revison 40A may be found in the Experimental Branch on Steam for your enjoyment and horrific death.
Please Note: The UI code has received a huge overhaul for this patch. If you see any alignment issues or other oddities in the UI, please let us know so we can get them cleaned up. (Sub-note: We know that you can't click on or drag the character portraits in the work crew panel but we did not want to delay the patch. You can still add/remove workers from crews using the +/- buttons. Also we know about the heads thing. You'll see.)
