Hello Contractors!
Our work on the next major update, Roof & Porch, is ongoing, and we are feeling the excitement of approaching version 1.0. While our early access process continues, we are continuing to fix bugs, and we thank you very much for the bugs you have reported to us. In addition to our bug fixes, we are introducing the subbasement in this update to give the houses being built a more beautiful appearance. Additionally, we aim to make the game look better with the visual changes we have made in the city.
Along with these, I would like to share an image related to the Roof & Porch update with you. This update will be released very soon, and we will provide you with more detailed information about the gameplay.
Roof & Porch Update will be released on March 13th.

Subbasement
Now the buildings will have a sub-base. This is part of the current update. Unfortunately, the houses you have already built will not be updated in this way. The new houses you will build will have a view.
- Houses currently under building can be problematic, so there's a workaround you can take to avoid being affected. We have opened a beta version called “old_public_0.5.2.3”. By joining this, you can complete your houses without any problems. You can access detailed tutorial about this issue: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2698780/discussions/1/594016333228680969/ Once your build is complete, you can revert to the current version, as your new builds will not have any issues. Your save files will not be affected in this case. You need to use the save from before you received the update.
City Adjustments
The appearance of roads and trees has changed, and in general the color of everything in the city looks more beautiful. These colors are more vibrant. We hope you will like it.
