Hi everyone,
I'm happy to say v0.3.6 is now finally fully released! This update includes new item slot filters, which will allow you to tell your employees which items you want or don't want in a particular slot. Employee beds have been replaced with space-saving lockers (although you can still use beds if you really want to!), and I've rewritten a large chunk of the saving system, which should dramatically improve saving times and make Steam cloud syncs much more speedy and reliable.
Apologies, this update has taken a bit longer than usual - it's been a hectic past few weeks. I was in surgery for wisdom teeth removal about 2 weeks ago, I have had to spend quite a lot of time recording/documenting the game for AU classification, I'm back to uni this week, and I've been dealing with some other things going on behind the scenes. Nevertheless, I'm excited to get back into the swing of things and get to work on the first major Schedule I update.
Speaking of which, I've been setting up the infrastructure needed for the community voting system, and I'm happy to say everything is now in place. We'll be running the first vote this coming week - you'll see a prompt to vote in the main menu as soon as the voting period opens.
Additions
Added lockers. These will be replacing employee beds. For compatibility reasons, employees will still be assigned to beds in existing saves, but going forward, you can use lockers instead, which are more space-efficient and can store more stuff.
Added item slot filters. You can now set whitelists or blacklists on slots to tell employees which items should or shouldn't go in a particular slot.
Added employee property transfers.
Tweaks/Improvements
Increased storage unit employee capacity to 3.
Consolidated all NPC save files.
Consolidated property save files.
Consolidated business save files.
Changed the trash can pickup area to be square instead of circular.
The trash can pickup area is now visible while you're placing the trash can.
Bug fixes
Fixed occasional NPC long-distance pathing failures.
Fixed occasional employee pathing failures.
Fixed employees sometimes attempting to pick up items that they don't have the inventory capacity for.
Fixed botanist-related performance issue.
Fixed police showing question marks above their heads while they're unconscious.
Fixed viewmodel drifting.

Thank you, everyone!!
