Airport Baggage Simulator - Update - Version 0.2.5

📢 Terminal Announcement! 📢

[p]This is Günther Gewinn speaking. Thank you for your positive and numerous reactions to Version 0.2! We have been carefully gathering feedback and decided to roll out one more update before Christmas![/p]

[h3]📉 Balancing & Upgrades📉[/h3]
[p]To make getting started with automation easier and more interesting, we have reduced the cost of upgrades and significantly increased the speed at which UP is earned in the beginning. Additionally, storage is now more affordable.[/p]

The first 36 UP points are now easier to earn
UP costs for machine upgrades have been reduced (halved for upgrades 2 and 3)
Price for storage reduced from 650 to 350

[h3]📦 The Dispenser 📦[/h3]
[p]We have added a new machine: The Dispenser. This machine places items onto workbenches in a controlled manner.[/p]

[h3]🧳 Workflow Improvement 🧳[/h3]
[p]We have adjusted the orientation of suitcases as they exit machines to allow for a smoother workflow.[/p]

Baggage is now rotated by default when leaving machines so that the tag points 90 degrees to the right, which in most cases means it faces the player
Exception: At the red exit of the Lost & Found machine, the rotation was deliberately inverted because it is more practical for the common setup at the start of the game (see below)

[h3]⚙️ System & UI ⚙️[/h3]
[p]Minor adjustments to the gameplay and user interface.[/p]

The game now pauses completely while the pause menu is open
New Demo Key Art integrated into the start screen
Additional tips added to the pause menu, e.g., recommending the use of a distributor to balance the load and generate more UP.

Here is an example setup:

[h2]🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄[/h2]
[p]Thank you for reading! We wish you a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year. We’ll see you again next year – and always remember: airport operations tolerate no negligence!
✈️🧳

Solid regards,
Günther!
