• A good mix of traits are now picked by default in character creation menu
  
• Made it easier to switch traits in character creation menu

Fixes

• Fixed lower floor windows and doors not rendering in atriums with opaque windows enabled
  
• Fixed replacing worn headphones not correcting rotation of new object properly
  
• Preventative fix for game crashing when translating bits for a save with so many mods installed it would create hundreds of products per year (Old saves are still borked (Can be fixed by increasing stack size of executable to at least 10 mb))
  
• Made it clearer when employee is stuck waiting for elevator with Silent But Deadly trait
  

If you've had the issue where the game crashes at "Translating bits" your save file is sadly not recoverable, sorry. The issue has been fixed for future save files and would only happen in saves where an employee had several hundred friendships.

Changes

• Changed wording around friendship mechanic in employee detail window and added tip about forming friendships to Acquaintances icon
  

Fixes

• Saves that crash the game when translating bits are permanently destroyed (Caused by employees with hundreds of friendships at the same time), but the core issue has been fixed for future saves
  
• Fixed issue cleaning up friendships when employee was destroyed that made you unable to save game
  

This update allows employees to become friends, which can improve their team's compatibility and effectiveness, but also increase the impact of losing team members.
