Upon looking into some user-reported bugs, I noticed that I left some map testing debug code in the game. This error resulted in the Autosave function not working properly. Since this is a big enough issue, I decided to release this RC5 update. This update fixes that issue and a couple of other bugs.

Work on the manual continues, and I hope to reach the formula/mechanics sections by the end of the month.

-Bugfix Fixed company acquisition cooldown times not being saved to the save game file in certain situtations.
-Bugfix AutoSave saving every decade to a new file instead of indicated time.
-Bugfix Fixed Autosell not selling licensed or outsourced designs automatically.
-Gameplay Tweaked AI and Autosell initial pricing system.
-Media Increase max values for top reviews clips because of chance of falling outside that range.
-Media Added additional predesigned cars submissions.
-Bugfix Fixed Gearbox weight in contracts window displaying incorrect values.
-Media Increased racing series end dates for any series that reached end game for current maps.

Previously, modifications that were made or updated in Manager's Journey were not supported in previous versions of the game.

We've begun work to ensure that players who create mods in MJ can make them available to all other players, regardless of version.

Now in the modification settings, there is a button that changes the backward compatibility of the mod. If "Maximum" backward compatibility is enabled, the mod will be available for all versions of the game. If "Manager's Journey" backward compatibility is enabled, the mod will only be available in the latest DLC.

If you used new content from Manager's Journey in the modification and then selected Maximum compatibility, this content will automatically be replaced with random ones.

We'll be keeping an eye on your forum posts and will continue to polish the backward compatibility feature so that as many players as possible can enjoy your mods.

So, for everyone who published the mods from MJ, you can open your mod settings and change the backward compatibility.

• Improved the balance of the Loyal leadership (harder than friendly and easier than adequate). Now fines and contract renewal costs have been reduced by approximately 2 times. If management is moderately dissatisfied (yellow zone), there will be no need to waste reputation to persuade a contract renewal.
  
• Corrections of translation errors.
  
• Fixed a crash if you start a campaign with only one country.
  
• Some other rare crashes have been fixed.

A hotfix for chefs getting stuck in the kitchens and for some kitchen equipment that require a chef self-activating at times.

Hey Mayor,

We just released a new update, Silicon City v0.34! Discover the new features of this last version since the early access one.

Due to bugs encountered recently by players, we were able to find a way to improve the energy distribution in Silicon City!

The small energy balls that can be seen sailing around the city in the energy view are now independent of the game speed. The consumption and production of energy of all the buildings is now consistant and avoids the slowdowns linked to a high game speed.


When a house or an apartment is no longer occupied by any silizen for a while, they become abandoned and need to be razed by the mayor in order to renew the residential area and avoid the negative effects of an abandoned building.

As a mayor you must ensure that the residences remain attractive to your citizens. If they become derelict, the surrounding area is probably not attractive enough.


The houses of our dear silizens are embellished with new trees! The higher the land value, the more the variety of gardens will vary. Look at these apartments of the most beautiful effect!



To expand the possibilities of the city editor in sandbox mode, and to give you more opportunities to create the city of your dreams, we have added a terrain editor mode, giving you the possibility to change the type of soil.



Thanks to your feedback on our Discord server, we could make some nice fixes and upgrades as you suggested.

• NEW: Houses and apartments are becoming more and more varied! With embellished gardens and abandoned houses to rebuild. Customize your gardens
  
• NEW: The soil painting tool for forests, fields and beaches
  
• NEW: New tool to destroy the building without destroying the zone (Residential, commercial or industrial)
  
  
• UPDATE: Performance improvements. Better parallel threading
  
• UPDATE: Silizens search for their way in several times if it is too far
  
• UPDATE: French and English translations fixed
  
• UPDATE: 3D models of forests are drawn in a more natural way
  
• UPDATE: Rebalancing of the solar panels features
  
• UPDATE: If a word is not translated, the english word is dispayed (useful for translators)
  
• UPDATE: The marina has been redesigned
  
• UPDATE: A maintenance message is displayed for challenges between midnight and noon each monday

• FIX: trackers on top of buildings don't go out of the screen anymore
  
• FIX: Game do not crash on MacOS + Silicon M1 chipset anymore
  
• FIX: The sun do not created a very bright and dazzling light anymore
  
• FIX: Firefighters and ambulance drivers do not use their emergency vehicle to reach the emergency destination
  
• FIX: Sometimes databars are not updated when building information change

• KI: Texture of several buildings are bugged
  
• KI: Some silizens lose their way when they look for entertainment
  
• KI: The townhall is given twice during the mission 'Reach 1000 silizens'
  
• KI: When a gifted building is destroyed, it is not possible to build it back

Hey Flippers,

Bessie told me that she might need some help from our fellow flippers - she wouldn't say what's going on, but she promised to shed some more light tomorrow.



We hope that everything's fine, and she's just teasing us all...
Anyways - we wanted to thank you all for the enthusiasm regarding our bundle with Wingspan. We hope that you guys will have a great time playing both games - keep in mind that Home Bird Bundle will be gone in a few hours!

Can you hear the trumpets and the stomping of horses? It seems we are approaching the royal castle! This location is an important link in Jacob's journey to other places. And, as you can see for yourself - from here we have a way to the kitchen, to the servants' room, to the king's castle, and to the prison (and who knows which location we will find ourselves in next time!).



Here, for the first time, we meet the inhabitants of the castle - a bored and resting servant, a castle keeper, and a guard patrolling the wall.

At the moment, this location, like the previous "Castle Gates", is being added with minimal functionality.

The plan is to add all the planned content first, and only then polish the game and fill it with all the dialogue, adventure, and puzzles you need.

Sorry for the slow development speed - the artist and I are doing our best to release the game as soon as possible. And, although after the main work we only have evenings and weekends to work on the project, we will slowly but surely bring it to a happy end.

Thanks to everyone who continues to follow the project - you give us the strength to continue. Stay tuned! See you in the next updates!

Thanks for all your support!
