Tweaked
• Research: Completely overhauled the research UI for better usability and overview. Technologies are now organized in different tabs and are now organized from left to right.
• Expeditions: The inventory screen (Loot and return) of expeditions has been overhauled for better usability. It is now easier and faster to fill up the inventory with different resources by using sliders.
• Buildings: The workplace radius of all related buildings can now be changed while the building is still in construction.
• Buildings: Inventory Limits can now be adjusted while the building is still in construction.
• Buildings: The water source UI now also displays the count of all valid sources inside the workplace radius.
• Sound: Added sound effect to placing a drag/drop world task (e.g. upgrade buildings/demolish buildings etc.).
• UI: “Mailto:” Links now open in the correct mail app.
• Buildings: After visiting a building, settlers will no longer walk to a random position around their current location, but will walk to a random position around the building's entry.
• Environment: The game now creates resource piles in the world if the internal storage of the production building is full.
• Savegame: Overhauled asset loading when starting the game to be less stressful on your system.
• Expeditions: Tweaked a “ruin city”, so that the diner ruin is never occluded by trees and always visible.

• Buildings: Building buttons now hide their tooltip when they were already built and are only placeable once.
• Side Missions: “A Light for the Night” side mission is now only put on the bulletin board, when the player has wind generators or solar collectors already researched, making it more realistic to complete the mission.
• Buildings: Recipe selection has been improved, so that recipe selection and production are done at the same spot.
• UI: Scroll sensitivity of all text fields have been reduced, to avoid unwanted behavior.
• UI: The goals window of the HUD now has Tabs when playing in scenarios, so that side missions and scenario goals are categorized and allow for a clear focus.
• Buildings: All houses and shelters received a visual overhaul so they can be distinguished better and don’t contribute too much to the “visual noise”.
• UI: Improved tooltips with more information and overall better structure and presentation.
• Buildings: Changed the efficiency UI of every related building to be more clear and descriptive. It now displays if electricity boosts the building or not.
• Side Missions: Changed the “overpopulation” side mission so it is less misleading (hopefully), and doesn’t require you to simply “wait”.
• Buildings: Changed the behavior of technology missions on the forum. These missions were previously filling up the available missions slots, preventing some other missions from ever appearing. This has now been reduced to max. one technology mission at a time, giving more space for all other missions to appear.
• System: Several Performance boosts and internal system overhauls to go lighter on CPU and GPU usage to avoid overheating issues.
• Session Settings: Removed the “Legacy” option for research in the settings of a new session.
• Trading: Adjusted trade values of hemp, iodine-tablets and expedition rations
• Side Missions: Greatly reduced the amount of herbal huts and medical facilities needed for the “Sick Survivors” Side Mission.
• Builders: Improved logic for profession “builder” for repairing buildings.

Known Issues
• Localizations: Some languages didn’t receive their proofread versions for a small number of UI texts yet. This will be improved in a future patch.
