Patch notes for Alpha 11.7.50 (Testing branch)

Component printers and assemblers will now automatically be grouped into assembly lines, which should result in less pile ups and I'm hoping it'll make them easier to manage.

Changes

• Component printers and assemblers are now automatically grouped into assembly lines, which can be assigned to active printing tasks

• Component printers in an assembly line are now stalled periodically when assigned to tasks that don't need them, avoiding extra component pile ups from other tasks that do

• Updated Manufacturing tutorial

• Missing recycler message is now only shown for assemblers assembling the final product

• Added ability to quickly change room to pillar and vice versa

• Added percent input field when selling stocks and changed percentage calculation when adding more shares, so it is equal to the amount of company share lost

• Burglars no longer sneak while being arrested

• Made furniture culling more aggressive when rendering shadows from the sun to improve shadow rendering performance

• Added more variety to contract company names

• Added new task filters to filter deals and contracts

Fixes

• Fixed security getting stuck in sitting animation if going from loitering to standing guard

• Fixed stock window breaking when player is worth less than $0

• Fixed cases of staff being stuck turning around due to floating point precision error

• Fixed employees sometimes being teleported to bus on load if bus was driving away when saving

• Fixed bug where employees would skip elevator queuing entirely

• Game will now display the correct error for snapping furniture when the room placement is invalid

• Fixed rent data overlay not displaying unrentable rooms correctly

• Fixed first loaded save after launching game generating nav meshes extremely slowly due to the low default minimum thread count in the .NET threadpool

• Fixed game freezing for a while on big saves due to the aforementioned nav mesh generation issue

• Doors and rooms will no longer have the inaccessible/blocked marker if they are in the process of generating nav meshes

• Fixed cooks being stuck trying to get food to a tray with no food in hand

• Fixed game freezing when placing furniture in rapid succession in rooms with lots of stuff, due to main thread waiting for navmesh generation to finish

• Fixed room meshes not being batched correctly for shadowing, decreasing shadow rendering performance for complex buildings

• Fixed rare cases where code that scales furniture to avoid wall clipping could end up scaling something, that was placed near a wall without clipping it, by a high factor

Patch notes for Alpha 11.7.52

Changes

• Blueprints can now be grouped together

• Added search + enter to build in blueprint window

Fixes

• Fixed pillar tool breaking in basement

• Fixed manufacturing panels not updating printer and assembler counts if they were hidden when new machines were placed

• Fixed employees complaining about night shifts on the way home from work, if the walk home takes them into night shift hours

• Fixed product detail window updating at the end of the day, right before all losses were calculated, thereby showing an incorrect loss value until re-opened

Patch notes for Alpha 11.7.53

Changes

• SSR is no longer scaled by SSAA, which would cause a large performance drop when both were enabled

Fixes

• Fixed RECOMPILE_DLL_MOD command throwing back the same cached compile result from launch

• Fixed being able to place acoustic panels on top of eachother
