Beta branch now contains build 208 which iterates on some changes mentioned in yesterdays update beta 207.
Beta 208:
-Overcrowd does more rep loss. It is harder to happen but when it does, it needs to make more impact. This should make it harsh, but fair. (instead of, formerly, unfair but mild)
-Shop needs. In line with yesterdays reasoning, but improved. Shop needs continue to be more common than before, but this is now more properly implemented. You can't really get by ignoring shops now. The needs are common, but conversely, the max number of purchases any one commuter makes is capped at a lower number, ensuring a more reasonable and ongoing throughput.
-Commute of the Day more balanced. Commute of the Day has long been the refuge for masochists alone, such was the difficulty. It was unfair, really. Part of the reason for this was a bug/glitch causes commuters to spawn with Zone 1 levels of behaviour (ie very angry and sick, high flow). This is fIxed. The difficulty at the very start of COTD should be more reasonable and just gradually increase over time.
-Hover tips on start menu are fixed.
-Fixed hard crash caused by unlocking tech while still in build mode (thanks for filing this!)
-Chinese font ranges reworked.
