Today’s addition is a quality-of-life improvement suggested by a player who had a good idea, which I implemented.
Addition :
It is now possible, by clicking on an empty inventory slot icon in smelting furnaces, to open a sub-menu allowing you to select which resources you want to assign to it.
It is not possible to assign the same resource twice.
The “empty” icon must be visible.
If the selection menu is open and overlaps the button used to “empty” the inventory, that button will not work.
Bug fixes :
If an employee was on strike, they would not resume work even if assigned to a machine.
The red color indicating prices when you do not have enough money is working again.
Employees no longer need to physically move in order to find a workstation.
Assigned employees can no longer continue working on a machine that is being moved via the crafting menu.
The sound played when closing an employee or machine menu is functional again.
With that said, I wish you all happy end-of-year holidays.
If you encounter any bugs, please report them. I will be working on T5 at the beginning of next year !
Update #21.1
Bug fixes :
Context menus for presses now display their names correctly.
Polishers are now able to polish all resources that pass through the machine.
Optimizations :
I made a few changes to reduce lag. The impact is fairly minor, but not nonexistent.
Cameras consume fewer resources when they are not moving.
Context menus consume fewer resources, whether they are closed or open.
Update #21.2
This mini patch focuses on optimizing the code for resource management. I managed to gain nearly 20% in performance !
The only cost of this optimization applies when reloading your game: the ingots will not appear. But your next save will work.
Change :
The minimum visible ingot parameter has been increased from 1% to 10%.
