Hello!

Here with a Public Test Branch weekend hotfix! Here’s what’s been addressed:

🛠️ FIXES:

• Fixed an issue where some suspects waited too long for police officers to arrive.

• Resolved a problem where contractor workers reset to 3 if you had contracted fewer than 3.

• Fixed the End Day Report menu staying in the background of other menus due to sorting order issues.

• Fixed an issue where customers would leave complaining about no toilet even after using the toilet.

• Resolved a bug where end-of-day final rating points between -100 and 100 weren’t added correctly to the overall rating score.

• Fixed a problem where rating points still reset to zero even in new saves.

• Fixed a bug where customers wouldn’t use vending machines unless a lounge was present.

⚙️ CHANGES:

I’ll be focusing more on balancing things —especially transportation capacity upgrade costs, which are currently way off and have become a much more important part of the game— once the remaining graphs unlock in the next patch. That said, I’ve made a few early adjustments in the meantime, mainly because they were necessary after the recent changes to the customer behavior selection system. Things might feel a bit off during testing until the main balance update lands. Here’s what’s been updated so far:

• Slot game round time decreased by 20%

• Maximum rounds a customer can play decreased by 10%

• Customers who can’t use any services will no longer go to the toilet

• Customers who can’t use any services will no longer commit crimes

• Casino machines are no longer lineable again, but gamblers will still wander, watch games, and play if they find an available machine (Slot Machine, Keno Machine, Video Poker Machine)

• Chances of customers watching casino games after playing have increased by 15%
