Car Manufacture News

The latest version brings improvements and new features based on player feedback and internal testing from the public test branch. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of the changes:

New Worker Type: Driver

• Transporter workers will no longer be responsible for handling car transportation.
  
• Added a new "Driver" worker type dedicated to car transportation tasks, now integrated into the tutorial for easier onboarding.

Employee Area & Worker Assignment

• Added the Employee Area UI, allowing you to assign workers to specific worker zones. Idle or resting workers will prioritize returning to their designated area.
  
• Worker assignment to Employee Areas is limited based on the objects within the zone. A new "Worker Assignment Capacity" item effect increases the number of workers that can be assigned to an area.
  

Conveyor Stations in Play Mode

• Quality Station: Now clickable in Play Mode, allowing automatic car operations similar to the parking UI.
  
• Paint Station: Clickable in Play Mode for car color selection, with a color randomization toggle.
  

Logistics

• Workers are now assigned tasks based on proximity to the task’s starting location.
  
• Refined transport logic to prioritize possible jobs based on distance and support various configuration methods.
  
• Transport jobs now repurpose unused parts from storage or dismantling workshops to prevent resource waste.
  

Bug Fixes

• Fixed some worker models and icons.
  
• Fixed a bug where bankruptcy would overwrite save files upon exiting to the main menu.
  
• Fixed issues in logistics related to looping and mismatches in ordered quantities.
  
• Fixed missing translations in automatic car operations for the parking UI.

Changes:

• Fixed an issue where sound volume would increase upon closing the game.
  
• The order renewal slider now calculates the priority of transport jobs more accurately.
  
• Temporarily removed avoidance between human units to prevent workers from getting stuck. This feature will be reintroduced once the issue is resolved.
  

Parking UI:

• Added filters to target specific blueprints and quality ranges.
  
• Automated operations can be triggered when set conditions are met.
  
• A new view is available with quicksell, refresh and block sales operations.
  

New Order Type:

• You can create a new order type directly in Play Mode. Navigate to Storage, open the Orders view, and click the "Create Order" button at the bottom.
  
• This allows you to select blueprints and parts that will be used for other production orders, reducing reliance on the market.
  

If the update doesn't appear immediately, please restart Steam.

Game Changes:

• The margin percentage for orders is now functioning as intended.
  
• Transport jobs priority calculation has been improved for better efficiency.
  

If the update doesn't appear immediately, please restart Steam.
