Patch #9
Hello Everyone,
A bunch of players requested a way to toggle the acceptance of goods into a warehouse while it was being constructed. To address this we started work on construction phase configuration and added this control. Going forward we have a bunch of tickets of similar construction phase configuration requests which can leverage this UI flow.
We also made buildings better communicate when their entrance was out of reach. Many players got confused by the Flax Spinner's second floor entrance, and this improvement helps that situation plus any other player might hit.
Of course please consider reading the full changelog, today's patch is quite a large one.
