Patch notes for December 5th 2023 (Version 0.3.22)
Hello,
Time for another regular(-ish) update of bugfixes and a few additions for Obenseuer.
This update adds new purchasable machine for filling empty gas bottles used at metallurgy, a makeshift biogas reactor, fill it with compostable matter (other than moldy waste) and turn on the compressor to fill out the gas bottle.
We also added new purchasable/craft-able machines for alcohol production: a malter, electric mash kettle, cheap fermenting bucket and a high grade fermenting container. For home brewers, yeast can now be made in chemical lab from mashes and dough.
We also added some new options for accommodating different keyboard layouts - movement keys can now be re-assigned. There's also new options for game display modes and background behavior.

This version shouldn't break or damage saves, but incase issues arise, old 0.3.17 version can be accessed from Steam library -> Obenseuer -> Options -> Betas and selecting 0.3.17
So, to keep this short, the completely overhauled version of Obenseuer is out now. Dig in!
For the rest of November, Obenseuer will be on sale for -15%, after which the price will raise.
Next, we will focus on delivering additional districts and other locations to the game, along with new quests and mechanics. We will publish a roadmap shortly.
(For those who were part of the beta: this update will break old saved games)
The Obenseuer overhaul is now in public testing, and automatically accessible to all owners of the game.
As you may already know, the overhaul is basically a new game with the same idea as the original prototype, but with much more depth and polished features.
As this is still for testing, expect to see bugs, performance issues, etc. We're still working on fixing and smoothing out the kinks before the actual release of the overhaul update.
The Overhaul update has replaced the old prototype, which can still be accessed by right clicking the game on steam -> options -> betas, and selecting 'prototype'.
