Try the New Features Early - Switch to Our Test Branch

[p]We uploaded a new test version to the “alpha” branch on Steam. That means you can already try and test new features of the upcoming Major Update 2![/p][p][/p][h2]Test these new features:[/h2]
  • [p]Female NPCs[/p]
  • [p]Health System for NPCs[/p]
  • [p]Injury, Recovery & Aid Tasks[/p]
  • [p]Hospital Props[/p][p][/p]
[p]This test build release is an EXPERIMENTAL version. We continue to work on the update before we release it to everyone.[/p][p][/p][p]All issues related to this version should be reported in the designated Discord channel #⁠bugs-testingbranch – ideally with save files attached.[/p][p]Join our Discord [/p][p][/p][p]You can also use the in-game feedback tool; we see the version number in the feedback entries. But if you have a bigger, weirder issue, it often helps when you provide us your affected save file. For that, the easiest way would be for you to join the Discord and share the file there with us.[/p][p][/p][p]We are not just looking for bugs. It would also be great to hear your feedback about the gameplay and balancing of the new features.
