Hello there, gambling-addicted landlords and other Obenseuer residents! It's time once again for another round of bug fixes, along with some new additions.
Tenement electricity
Machines, fridges, lamps, and other electronics in your tenement now require electricity. This drastically changes the early game, forcing you to rely on generators before getting your first electricity upgrade.
Electricity upgrades also have a capacity limit, preventing you from powering a power-hungry basement workshop on a Tier 1 grid.
Starting from Tier 2 you are no longer stealing electricity with dubious wiring, so to fully benefit from your fancy new circuit boxes, you should get a contract from Open Sewer Power Company located in the Bazaar.
Growing/Breeding
There have been several changes to planting and breeding that make it more user-friendly, allowing you to plant without needing to open the inventory.
Save and load times
Thanks to ontrigger's great work on the FastSaveLoad mod, save and load times have improved a lot. And with ontrigger's help, we're able to speed them up even further!
And of course, there are several bug fixes and other smaller additions, such as drinking animations!
