Optimization Upgrade
You can experience an optimization improvement and frame rate increase as we have moved to Unity 2018.1.
As a result, the update is quite large, so you might need to download 8GB of data.
Repairs Part 2
Keep an eye on your Washplant, as from now on, it can break when least expected. This can cause your gold mining operation to stop, and your resources to deplete.
Repairs can be enabled/disabled via game's settings.
'Re-worked' Workers
Hire specialized workers to improve the performance of particular machines. Create a team of workers specializing in Vehicles or Washplant and benefit from a special boost!
