Hello friends!
Duplicants everywhere are chilling out with Meep's Manadatory Recreation Content Pack! This free content pack contains a set of new recreation buildings to help our Duplicants relax and enjoy the leisure time all that Automation has brought to them.
As well, we've added a new mechanic called “Overjoyed Responses” which gives a chance of bonus improvements to decor or productivity along with new Overjoyed reaction animations when Duplicant morale is much higher than expectations!
The team has been hard at work these last few months improving performance issues, building Meep’s Recreation Pack, as well as working on bigger things for the future.
We've fixed a number of bugs in this update as well, so thank you to everyone who has reported bugs in the forum! We always appreciate your reports and feedback!
