1.9 Update / December Build Challenge

This months update contains the following changes:

[h2]New content[/h2]

  • added a bonus scenario designed by Astrotron (requires both DLCs and beating the base campaign to appear)
  • added cleaning threshold setting to shops
  • added car spawner and meteorite spawner effects (only available in scenario editor)
  • added modding support for light sequences (thanks to tristar!)
  • added Polish translation (thanks to Artur!)


[h2]Fixes and improvements[/h2]

  • updated game loading screen (apart from looking nicer it should also load slightly faster)
  • fixed refund amounts for destroyed objects not working as intended (before, you'd get a full refund for about 20 minutes and a 20% refund afterwards; now, objects slowly start losing value once they are older than 5 minutes until the 20% refund value is reached after about 45 minutes)
  • fixed advertisement campaign UI sometimes not working as expected
  • fixed custom music song title not being displayed when starting the game for the first time after adding the song
  • fixed modded paths not connecting to rides properly
