Patch #3
I've got good news and bad news. The good news: we fixed the save file corruption bug and added an automated workaround to load all prior corrupted saves! The bad news is the corruption existed in the first place, sorry for that.
We've also been focused on squashing crashes, so hopefully this patch brings a reduction there too.
If you had a corrupted save, please attempt to reload it with this patch. The loading might take a while, as the game needs to try up to 1024 combinations in the decompression permutations.
In regular changes, we've tweaked taxes again, sped up mining, and my personal favorite: small and oversized main island parameters are now more extreme. You can see the above header image for an example of the new oversized main island sizing :)
