Patron update v1.020 accompanies a brand new DLC!

It is the 28th of September and as we said the last time, we've prepared a nice little surprise.

It's called Mare Nostrum and, not counting the Supporter Pack, is the first piece of DLC for Patron!

The Mediterranean-themed Mare Nostrum brings a nice batch of new buildings, research topics, production chains... and if you want to read more about it, I'll post the link below so you can navigate to it easy-as-pie

https://www.gog.com/game/patron_mare_nostrum

But that's not all! We've prepared a nice update for the base game as well! There's actually more things we've done, but they're required more testing so we'll be releasing a few more smaller updates over the next couple of days.

Without further ado, here's the changelog:

Additions
- A brand new production building, the Charcoal burner, as requested numerous times, has finally landed. It's early in the research chain so you can reap the benefits early on.
- If you're using Discord while you're playing Patron, you'll now notice it'll ping
that you're playing Patron. Depending on your privacy settings of course.
- Lists on the Stock and the Trade panels can now be sorted by name, quantity or price, as requested :)
- A Tornado can now appear in your city and do some real nasty damage.
- Pests can now come to haunt your fields, orchards and ranches.
- A pack of wild animals can now swoop on your fields and gobble up your harvest (in the form of an event).
- Added a new Locust swarm event in which, you guessed it, a swarm of locusts can swoop down on your fields and clean them up.
- Added a new Massive beesevent. ... Yep... biiiig bees can harass your orchards and apiaries.

Fixes
- Fixed a glitch that would manifest on the info panels of the Shrine and the Well. A little black square would appear for no real reason.
- In some cases, fields and orchards would display faulty fertility, but only in some map areas.
- Fixed faulty placement display when building orchards.
- Fixed a bull animation related bug that could sometimes get broken.
- Set trade deals now persist through upgrading the dock into the harbor.
- You can no longer construct a building outside of the map... on the water... and your workers would actually go there and build it... -_-
- Fixed faulty placement display for the Docks and the Fisherman's hut.

Tweaks
- We've alleviated some restrictions to prevent that nagging issue of trees getting unmarked for cutting down.
- If for any reason a child is left living alone in a house, the child will get adopted by another family. No more underage house-owners.
- Changed the calculation on how much cash is requested in the The Church needs money
event
- All dropdown lists now have a classic (standard) scrollbar to make it more visible.
- Trade deal list is expanded to show 6 resources.
- New adults will no longer get married while they're staying at their parents' house.

As always, Govern on!

0.395.8 - Finite Space

- Changed layout of Enceladus Prime station menu to make it more friendly to small screens - including slightly smaller font, adjusted margins, changes simulation charts and more.
- You can now command your dispatched B8 Claim Beacons, ordering them to extend the claim or return to your ship for future redeployment.
- Rear-mounted B8 Claim Beacons are no longer available for Cothon-212.
- Menu shadows on Enceladus Prime are now consistent.
- Selecting targets on your Astrogation will now scroll the map by the minimum amount required.
- Removed upgrade preview button, which did same thing as clicking on the upgrade name itself.
- XASER burn events will not happen next to populated areas anymore.
- Added vignette to upgrade and tuning simulations screens.
- Enabled CRT post-processing filter for Return to Enceladus and Rescue Mission cutscenes.
- Claim Beacon thruster will no longer keep burning if its onboard computer loses power for some reason.
- When you quickly opened and closed the Onboard Maintenance System menu while being hailed by another ship, you could interrupt the dialogue animation, leaving invisible options.
- Changed the response curve for docking arms so they will not shake ships and drones attached to them.
