Patch Notes #7: the fixes strike back

We've got more patches here than an old blanket! We'll have some big updates real soon :)

Pathfinding improvements:

• Employees who are not assigned to a room group will try to avoid potentially dangerous production rooms (such as meth production rooms)

• Customers will not path through employee rooms at businesses.

• Employees much prefer to walk along corridors now.

• Employees who are assigned a room group will do their best to avoid any rooms that aren’t in their group even during pathfinding between rooms in their group.

Fixes:

• A change to prevent controls input whilst typing a room group name in the input field.

• Added missing keybindings to the key-bindings menu.

• Added a binding to open the map (defaulted to the ‘M’ key).

• Fixed keybindings reset function in the menu.

• Vending machines, coffee machines, and bins added to the corridor object options.

• Adjusted the room logo to try and make it clearer employees now prefer to walk along corridors.

• Improved performance and fewer frame drops (although this issue is still a work in progress).

• AOEs going through walls when placed too close to a door.

• Rewards menu getting stuck on the screen the first time it’s opened.

• After using the steam overlay the camera would continuously follow the mouse movements even when not panning.

• Moved robot factory gates out of the way of vehicles so they don’t clip through.

• Tutorial painting indicators disappear too early if the area was erased over instead of painted.

• Tutorial indicators staying at the top of the UI so they cannot be obscured behind another panel.

• Vomit and urine being invisible upon reloading the game.

• Notifications for non-employees appearing in the notifications panel.

• Stopped a black screen soft lock during the tutorial under certain circumstances.

• Addressed various ‘translation key not found’ errors and some spelling errors.

• Black and red door frame offset has been adjusted.

• NPC vehicles no longer drive through client delivery areas.

• Washing machine Mk1 cost has been fixed.

• Fire extinguisher particle effect continues to play when time is paused.

• Prevent funds from being deducted when trying to build over a road + if a road is placed over an existing building the building cost is now refunded.

• Deliveries not all being collected when multiple deliveries are made at once.

• Boxes sometimes dropped at clients when multiple deliveries are made at once.

• Redundant customer thought bubbles have been removed.

• Traps firing when a target walks past (even when a wall is in the way).

• Notifications persisting between play sessions even when the game wasn’t saved.

• Selling a machine while an employee is using will continue to have the employee hold the item associated with the machine removed (e.g. a watering can).

• Side-table and lockers have been removed as they were causing issues and are functionally useless.

• Added all doors to all plot types.

• Engineer getting stuck in a fixing animation if a machine was removed whilst they were fixing it.

• Products getting dropped en-route to a vehicle could not be picked up unless there was a shelf to take them to (even if a vehicle was still available for loading).

• Attackers could clip through locked doors and get stuck there even after the attack has ended.

• Sometimes characters killed by attackers would only die after the attackers had left.

• Load button still active if all save files have been deleted.

• Business type name not immediately updated after assigning a new business type.

• Notification filters are not saved after closing the panel.

• Only able to select outer edge sub plots after exiting a new game and loading a previous save.

• Sometimes an employee would not use a machine if it was already being used by another employee (even if there were multiple free use spaces).

• Remove fullscreen window option as that is not a feature on windows.
