Probably Stolen has an official release date. It is launching on October 28th!
And we've also just released a new Demo build, with a ton of changes since the open playtest.
Check out the full patch notes below.
Content
New Machine - Added 1 new early game machine and 1 corresponding new item
Starting Perks - Added 2 Starting Perks, designed for challenge runs
Equip mode - for selectable items, allowing tools to be quickly used on multiple items (Credit to @AdrianNumbers for the original idea)
Toolbox - a new item that can store tools, including the blue and red labelers. Pressing keys 1 through 9 equips the corresponding tool. The Toolbox can be bought from Dr. Jackson after day 14
The Bottle Printer can now be upgraded with electronic parts to unlock the normal bottle printer and the large bottle printer
The Vacuum Robot can now be upgraded with a Common Electronic to unlock a built-in incinerator feature. When turned on, the robot consumes double the normal power but destroys the feces in its storage after cleanup
Quality of Life
Multi-item selection: drag to create a selection box (bright white) and move multiple items at once. Multi-selected items can be used together on a target item, and can be placed accurately when moving within the same inventory. Hold Shift while dragging to enable precise placement into a different inventory
Sorting: Right-clicking on a grid inventory now opens a contextual menu that lets the player sort items
Save Discovery: added a "Discover" button to the load game interface, allowing players to see and load manually added saves from another player
Players can now open and preview containers and machines before buying them
Players on non-16:9 monitors playing in Full Screen mode can now dock various UI elements onto the black bars
Dragged items can now be rotated and flipped using mouse wheel up, mouse wheel down, and middle click
Dragging a battery onto another battery will swap them if both are owned. Desequencer crypto modules can be swapped the same way
Pressing the "Delete" key while hovering over an owned item in the store now sends it to the trash bin
Container items such as the Storage Bay can now also be double-clicked to close
Pressing the Escape key now closes the most recently used GameItem window or PaperUI first, with a consistent order across both
Increased the cap on how many inventory windows can be open at once from 10 to 25
Item windows now hide during customer examine and shooting modes, and return untouched afterward
Using a scanner on an item now brings the scanner's panel to the front, even if it was already open behind an item window

Container window names now match the custom name given by the Blue Labeler, if one has been set
Nightly logs and reports now persist after reloading a save
Quick-dialing a contact from the phone book now connects instantly when the contact will answer, and skips the greeting dialog
The game now limits its frame rate to 10 FPS while minimized; added a setting to disable this
Added settings to instantly dismiss a customer, instantly dismiss a customer and call the next one, and instantly call Security
Changes
Winning lottery tickets can now be redeemed immediately
Pouring wine into a liquid container now produces a new Wine Extract liquid, which changes the color of the liquid

Some T3 buyers from the display case now scale their budget

Improved the dialog system when using the manual dialog advance setting
Skip Intro mode now starts with the Immunivax guide and grants the topical bandage that the tutorial's after-hours visit normally provides
Gene Scanner allele colors in the animal tooltip now respect stat direction. A low Hunger Rate roll shows green and a high one shows red, instead of the reverse
Supply and Science keycards and desequencer chips will no longer be stocked by anyone, since there are currently no supply crates for them in the game. They have been shelved to avoid confusion
Fanta has been renamed to Phanta to avoid trademark infringement
Minor UI improvements
Animal Cage rework
Durability wear now scales with the size of the living animals inside. Dead animals, cage equipment, and other stored items cause no wear
Each ingot size upgrade now also adds 20 maximum durability and 20 current durability

BUG FIXES
Items & ownership
Fixed multiple bugs that allowed certain non-owned items to be used as if they were owned, such as using non-owned scrap metal to upgrade an Animal Cage
Owned items can no longer be inserted into non-owned containers
Fixed a bug where item features such as Tourist Tax could persist on an item and be used to sell it to other customers with the bonus still applied
Fixed a bug where some item features related to events were removed when left on the back counter
Fixed a bug where items produced at after-hours locations teleported into store inventories
Fixed a bug where the flashlight passive effect for scavenging still applied while the item was left back at the store
Fixed a bug where transferring between two perfume bottles of the same type destroyed the emptied bottle without carrying over its remaining value
Fixed a bug where combining two livestock serums to transfer doses also wasted an extra dose from the source serum

Fixed the Powerbloc not charging adjacent batteries and machines on the first night after power is turned on or Powerline Hijack is purchased.
Only owned items can now be equipped.
The security officer's sentence is now decided when they arrive, not when the case closes, so a record lowered into fine territory by the fixer or by nightly decay no longer results in an arrest.
The security officer now visits on the morning right after the investigation completes, instead of waiting an extra day.
Dialing with the numeric keypad now plays the button sound and shows the pressed button, the same as clicking.
The phone's End button now resets the status to Ready and stops the ringing and dial tones.
Closing the phone with Esc now hangs up properly, so reopening it no longer shows a stale or cut-off conversation.
Closing the phone while it is ringing now stops the ringing sound.
The negotiation panel no longer keeps showing the previous customer's item name when a new customer arrives.
Scavenging wound chances now show the flashlight bonus on arrival at the dumping grounds instead of after the first search, and tools left on the ground now count as within reach.
Trading & economy
Fixed a bug where items inside a sold container were counted at the wrong price. Premium and discount buyers no longer apply their modifier twice to boxed contents, and items donated to the trade board official in a container now count their full value toward the bribe

Fixed a bug where Dr. Jackson would still offer the aug scanner after Security declared the aug threat over
Fixed a bug where Sawyer would not give the Underground Exchange Directive if the Sawyer's Crew starting perk was taken without skip intro mode enabled
Arresting Odin after calling him for a delivery now correctly crosses him off the wanted poster
Fixed a bug where dismissing the information dealer after paying but before they finished talking would permanently cancel the event you paid to hear about
Security

Fixed a bug where Security could arrest you over a fine you could afford to pay
The Security Alarm's theft prevention rate can no longer go below 0
