Hello everyone! How are we all?

Before we dive into the rest of the update, we would like to welcome any new fans who have recently joined us due to the Autumn sale - Welcome!!! :)

If you are interested in Constructor and still have not bought the game, why not hop, skip, and jump (or just click the links below) over to the Store Page?

Do not forget to pick up the second building pack absolutely free, because both the Statute of Liberty and Washington Monument now provide a trickle of income based on visitors! :)

Down With That Sort Of Thing!

But wait, that is not all!

After careful consideration we have decided to remove Denuvo from Constructor at this stage, in order that fans who previously objected to Denuvo no longer have a reason to resist getting their foot in the door. If you have previously held off buying the game then why not hop over to the store page and give it a whirl?

Coupled with the Autumn sale deals and a lovely weekend ahead. Well, a game or two of Constructor sounds pretty good to us!

With that out of the way, there are a few key changes that we would like to discuss in a little more detail below. However, we know your time is precious and with the Autumn sale in full swing who has time to read?! Therefore, as always you may skip straight to the end and peruse the change log at your leisure. :)

Well... that can only mean one thing... the Proper Planning! Update is now live! We previously switched on Cloud Saving earlier due to needing to delay the update. If you do not wish to use it you may opt-out by doing the following:

1. Right-click Constructor in your Steam Library and click "Properties"
2. Click the "Updates" tab
3. Look for the Steam Cloud section at the bottom of the window and click to disable the check-box if it is already checked by default.
4. You may now close the window and Constructor will not back up your saves to the cloud.

Giving More Control, More Of The Time

In this update our main focus was to provide more quality of life improvements so that fans may play the game at their own pace. Critical to this goal was finding a way to give back some of the control of the game to player, especially in cases where people may find that the game gets ahead of them very quickly. Therefore, our biggest change was to completely overhaul how the pause system worked.

If you recall the previous pause system, we allowed for some but not all actions. Unfortunately, this had the potential issue of overloading the buffer and so we had considered removing the ability to give orders in pause completely. However, doing this would only further overwhelm people who might have previously relied on the ability to pause, and that would not make for proper planning!

We are very happy with how it works now, and we hope that anyone who might have found the game overwhelming at points will feel a little more in control of their game. Do not forget that if you wish to do so, you may rebind the pause button in the options menu to something more comfortable like the space bar. It is almost like tap 'n' go!

Smart Decisions

Obviously, quality of life would not be complete without a few changes to how work teams function. Whilst we do not want to automate every function in the game, we can understand that some of the clicking becomes tedious. In this case, our decision was to automate how the work teams move between the inside and outside of a building depending on the work required.

Previously, you would be required to call them inside a building to upgrade the rooms and either wait around whilst they're working or potentially lose precious time whilst they're waiting around inside for you to return. Not anymore. Once a house has been built you can schedule room upgrades, fence work, and have peace of mind knowing that when you return to them they will have completed both jobs without intervention.

Additionally, if you have built a Gadget Factory you can queue up production and if there is a team available on the site they will move into the factory on their own, allowing you to get back to what matters most - sipping tea or your beverage of choice whilst your master plan comes together... something like that.

AI Wanted More Help

Due to a change we made earlier this year, the Hippy's Street Party became quite effective against the AI such that all you needed was to have one Hippy and a moderately equipped Gangster and you'd be able to take out their HQ with minimal resistance.

We liked how this felt on lower difficulties because it helps to ease players into the game a little more, but on higher difficulties it did not make very much sense. Therefore, the AI will be much more likely to respond to their HQ's SOS calls.

Hand-in-hand with this change was also the decision to add a modifier for the HQ which reduces the damage that Gangsters deal against it by a moderate amount. This is an area that may be revisited periodically, but we do not want to make too drastic a change in just one update.

We have also made a few more changes to its repair logic in order that it can better handle the rapid expansion that higher AI build speeds will bring. Do not worry, you can still change the AI's build speed in Gameplay Options, but we have also now raised the cap to 600%!

Finally, blocking the AI's construction sites, especially of buildings it considers high-priority, will not be as effective as before. The AI will now attack and then attempt to chase intruders off the site, and for a small duration after that. This also includes attacking undesirables who, previously, could have just stood around the site and blocked it permanently. This is, of course, going to scale depending on the difficulty.

But We Also Give The Player A Hand

Whilst the AI received a little help to enable it to adjust to some of the changes we had made to it, we are also extending that help to the players. We have added many new hints throughout the game that will provide advice on how to deal with certain situations such as Mr Fixit's flood, a property taken over by Ghosts, but also the functions of certain buildings themselves.

There are quite a lot of them, but we have made sure that if you are a veteran of the game that you can disable them by toggling off hints in the Message Options menu. On the other hand, if you wish to see the hints after they have triggered for the third and final time, you may reset the hints in the same screen.

Additionally, we have heard your feedback about easier difficulties not being quite so easy and our first pass to address this is to make a lot of hard-coded functions difficulty specific, and give you, the junior builder, a fighting chance. Combined with the new help messages and pause changes you should be well on your way to becoming a successful firm!

You can find a full-list of what has been newly made difficulty specific below in the changelog.

Overhauling Stress/Happiness Caused By Buildings

One effect in the game that we had not really used was the passive stress or happiness granting effect that buildings have on each other. In this update, whenever you place buildings that would affect the stress of tenants on that estate, you will see a floating happy face or sad face over each affected home. This also means factories now passively stress out tenants but, to off-set this in the early game, the HQ will provide happiness to houses on the estate.

Additionally, lower levels of house will stress out higher levels of house by a small amount. This means that you can still place houses wherever you like, but the tenants next door may not appreciate living next to a shed. These effects will apply to rival tenants as well.

That's A Wrap...

Well that about wraps things up for the most important changes in this update, but as always you may find the full list of changes below. Please note that the list includes a few additions from the notes we posted on Friday!

Enjoy your week! :)

### **WHAT'S IN THIS UPDATE?**



### QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES/NEW FEATURES

• Implemented option to restart the current game.  
• Implemented ability to change HUD animation speed.  
• Allow for continuous placement of the same property whilst shift is held allowing you to place multiple buildings of the same type without needing to go through the estate manager multiple times.  
• Workteams are now smarter and will automatically go between the inside and outside of a home to finish any room upgrades/fence that is in progress.  
• Workteams will now automatically enter a Gadget Factory if standing in the grounds, and there are currently gadgets waiting to be manufactured.  
• Added alert sound for "last conflict" notification.  
• Allow stepping through building lists using < and > keys. Useful to progress through tenant properties by one level at a time.  
• Players may now change the fences on Undesirable abodes depending on the type of undesirable. This will only be available if you have at least two choices of fence. The default fence will always be available regardless of whether you have unlocked it via the resources.  
• Players may now change the fence for their Headquarters.  
• Sheds placed in the grounds of a Gadget Factory provide additional storage for Gadgets (caps at four Sheds).  
• Sheds placed in the grounds of a Resource Yard provide additional storage for that particular resource (caps at four Sheds).  
• Added strength factor to fence display in UI - each star represents the number of hits one panel may take before being pulled down.  
• Save games can be confirmed using the mouse/controller on PC as opposed to just the keyboard.  
• Added toggle to invert mouse-wheel scrolling of the map.  
• New hint messages have been added to various areas of the game, and will trigger up to three times (not in the same game) after certain events. You may disable these by toggling "Hide Hints" in the Message Options.  
• Added View Previous Messages button to mission briefing display on subsequent visits.  
• Right-click on the time will now revert the game speed to normal speed if it was running at a faster speed.  
• Monuments such as the Liberty Statue, Washington Monument, and the System 3 Statue will provide a trickle of income based on how many tenants visit them.  
• Allow full control of game functions in pause mode.  
• Enable cloud synchronisation of saved games so that settings and saves are accessible across all user's machines.


### FIXES

• Implemented relinking of opponent lists when loading a game if any were corrupted, to resolve certain crashes.  
• Fixed instance where messages for overcrowded prisons would be displayed if prisoners were dropped off at the Housing Authority building.  
• Fixed memory leak caused by continuous loading of SFX that were not loaded at boot, as a result of changes to the SFX routine for the Switch.  
• Fixed logic for repeating messages within 30 days so that it works as expected.  
• Fixed wrong image capture being used if save was cancelled the next time you try to save, or visit a screen which uses the last image taken as a background.  
• Corrected RMB functionality where it no longer allowed right-clicking the resource icons on the left-hand side to zoom to the relevant building.  
• Corrected RMB functionality which stopped right-click cancelling out of placing external gadgets.  
• Fixed characters remaining in frozen state if hypnotised by Clown whilst Clown's Arcade was destroyed.  
• Fixed instance where Mr Fixit being arrested as his ladder deployed conflicted with his arrested status.  
• Fixed Council Workers sometimes paving the wrong tile if they were interrupted during the tiling animation.  
• Fixed recoil animation for laser weapon not correctly resetting to character's default animation in certain situations.  
• Corrected character videos playing more than once for newly created characters when video mode "Once" was selected.


### AI CHANGES

• AI will now reassign repairmen shortly after they are removed from an estate as a result of being knocked out - a companion change to go with the previous changes in this area.  
• Decreased delay of AI assignment routine for repairmen to 4 months down from 8.  
• AI no longer immediately build/rebuild their Police Station. It is instead put on a timer that scales inversely with the difficulty.  
• AI must have a resource of the correct type built in order to build more buildings.  
• AI will protect high priority building sites such as the now required resource yards more effectively.  
• AI defenders on building sites/completed sites will chase intruders a short distance.  
• AI must now have a functioning resource yard before they can continue building structures that require that resource.  
• Take-over hits for AI fences reduced by 1-2 depending on the fence type.  
• Made adjustments to SOS logic so that the Street Party + Gangster combination is not quite so effective, but is still a valid strategy against the AI.  
• AI repair logic now runs in two stages, and AI frequency for creating repairmen is dictated by difficulty.

Easy - 120 days/repairman  
Normal - 120 days/repairman  
Hard - 60 days/repairman  
Original - 90 days/repairman


### MISCELLANEOUS CHANGES

• Auto-Save now runs in a separate thread and will no longer cause the game to hitch.  
• Spooky The Ghost is no longer able to block work sites.  
• Unlinked Police Station so that it no longer only unlocks when one of the original three level two houses is built to resolve an issue where only building DLC level two homes did not unlock it, and later caused it to disappear from the list until one of the original level two homes were built.  
• Removed Denuvo Anti-tamper.  
• New option menu "Config" for certain configuration options.  
• Cockroaches now have names.  
• Increased favours per gangster converted at HQ to 3 on Hard Difficulty.

• HQ button changed to display the colour of the team you are playing.  
• Adjusted font for character names to compensate for longer names.  
• Additional door-knock voices added for the following tenants (triggered by clicking on rival homes):  
    * Slob

    * Major  
• Clown molotov explosion now much more spectacular.  
• Improved flooded building destruction sequence.  
• Repair Kit no longer expires.  
• Added new particles for Psycho Chainsaw attack, and Foreman takeover.  
• Gangsters no longer target tenants that enter the grounds of Parks.  
• Ordering multiple internal gadgets no longer allows creation of multiple tenants to collect the gadgets. Instead, any internal gadgets beyond the first two ordered will be picked up in subsequent trips.  
• All buildings affect tenant stress. A green, happy face, will show above houses when the effect is positive (Parks, Schools etc). A red, unhappy face, will show above houses when the effect is negative (Prisons, Undesirables etc).  
• Lower level houses negatively impact the happiness of tenants in higher level houses. This is only a minor effect of -5 happiness per level of difference.  
• Added faint black outline to all characters to reduce blending in large groups.  
• Rebalanced Lounge effect so that positive stress modifiers are a little more pronounced.  
• Removed requirement of Deluxe Rooms in Beach House for final stage of Basic Job.  
• Story missions will unlock sequentially (if you have not previously completed them) but you need only attempt a mission to unlock the next one.  
• Story missions will now display the number of times the mission was attempted.  
• Emergency fence repair of undesirable abodes will only restore the original fence if it has not been completely replaced with either the destroyed fence panels or the takeover barriers.   
• Gangster weapons deal slightly reduced damage against HQs.  
• Added currently selected estate highlight when purchasing/viewing estates.  
• Added floating icon above buildings that are being picketed by a Hippy.  
• Various balancing functions added to make certain aspects of the AI/game relate to difficulty better. This includes:  
_  
        • Frequency of response to intruders on AI building sites  
        • Earliest time the AI can build its Police Station  
        • Earliest time it can rebuild its Police Station after it is destroyed  
        • How likely it is to build on another team's estate if "Build On   
                   Enemy Estates" is on  
        • How often it will send its undesirables to harass another team  
        • How often it builds undesirable abodes  
        • How effectively it responds to a player's Street Party when   
                   attempting to defend its HQ  
        • How strong a player's own characters are against other teams   
                   (only applies to easy(100% bonus dmg) and normal(50% bonus   
                   damage) which is intended to make things a tad easier for new   
                   fans.  
        • How many buildings a player can take over without the AI   
                   retaliating (only applies to easy(2)/normal(1))

### Mudanças na IA

• A IA irá redesignar os reparadores depois de um tempo para o lote do qual eles foram removidos por resultado de serem nocauteados - uma mudança companheira feita para seguir com as outras mudanças nesta área.  
• Diminuída a espera da IA na rotina de designação de reparadores para 4 meses ao invés de 8.

• Spooky O Fantasma não consegue mais bloquear os sítios de construção.  
• Desvinculada a Delegacia de Polícia para que agora ela não seja desbloqueada quando uma das casas do nível 2 seja construída a fim de eliminar um problema onde as casas das DLC's não estavam liberando a construção da Delegacia de Polícia, e posteriormente fazendo com que sumisse da lista até que uma das casas originais do nível 2 fossem construídas.

• Todas as estruturas afetam o estresse dos inquilinos. Uma carinha feliz da cor verde será mostrada sob as casas quando o efeito for positivo (Escolas, Parques e etc). Uma carinha triste da cor vermelha será mostrada quando o efeito for negativo (Prisões, Indesejáveis etc).  
• Casas de níveis inferiores irão ter um impacto negativo nos inquilinos em casas de níveis superiores. Este efeito é pequeno, no valor de -5 de felicidade por nível de diferença.  
• Adicionado um pequeno contorno preto para todos os personagens a fim de reduzir o misto visual em grandes grupos.  
• O efeito do descanso foi refeito a fim de mostrar valores mais significantes e positivos para o estresse do inquilino.

        • Quão forte as unidades do jogador são contra os outros times(apenas se aplica às dificuldades Fácil(100% de bônus de dano) e Normal(50% de bônus de dano)) o que é intencional para que o jogo se torne mais fácil para novos jogadores.  
        • Quantas estruturas o jogador pode tomar via tomada hostil sem que a IA aja em retaliação (apenas se aplica às dificuldades Fácil (2) e Normal (1))
