Patch 0.3.1
Hello all!
I've uploaded a new patch today that includes a feature that many have requested since launch which is Sandbox mode!
This new addition allows you to choose custom settings when making a new game.
I've attached a screenshot below that will give you a good idea how it works.
While in-game you can mouse-over the checkboxes when setting up sandbox mode for a detailed description of what each checkbox does but I'll give you a rundown here:
- Starting Money
Set your initial starting money anywhere between $1,000 & $10,000,000,000
- Free Points
Choose how many stat points you want your manager to start with, up to 100.
- Tax Rate
Set your tax rate from between 0% - 50% if you like an extra challenge.
- Disable Challenges
This removes the little challenges required to unlock each new technology in the research tree.
- Instant Research
As you might guess this removes the time it takes to research a new technology, you gain it instantly upon purchasing it.
- All Research Unlocked
This option starts the game with the entire research tree completed & negates the previous two options.
- Disable Random Events
Things like random power surges, heatwaves & computer viruses are disabled.
- Disable Checklist
This disables the checklist that appears when you start a new game to help teach you how to build your Rec Center. Disabling this is only recommended for experienced players.
These options allow the player to make a new game as difficult or easy as they want.
Please note however that Steam Achievements (When they're added :P) won't be unlockable in sandbox mode.
Here's a full list of notes:
- Sandbox mode added
- Employee AI now starts before customer AI, preventing some glitches
- Fixed bug causing reception & cafe lines to occasionally freeze
- Fixed some tooltip typos
- Fixed bug causing plants to decay too slowly
- Fixed minor bug with reseting your managers talents
- Fixed bug causing some players to be overcharged with tax
