Hello,
The game has been updated to fix a minor bug in the mesh merger and adds a few new thigs (see below).
For the next version, I will be adding in some of the ideology specific decorations as well as continuing work on tidying up and polishing current features.
Hopefully I will be able to have some more frequent communication as I'm now finishing up on some of the work that has taken up (too much) time recently.

- Ideology building texts (in english) updated.
- Ideology building descriptiopns added (in english).
- Info label added for zones not growing below certain levels of city population.
- Added conglomerates being angered if tax rates for hotels are too high (similar to how it is for industry and commerce).

- Fix for null ref. error in mesh merger.

---

• A Complete rework of the game's entire codebase for optimization / new gameplay features / a solid foundation to build on further.
  
• Splitscreen via Steam Remote Play, play with your friends online using splitscreen.
  Why not full multiplayer? I'll explain that below.
  
• Hundreds of new items!
  
• Entire new vehicle system, will not ping off into the atmosphere anymore, and are fun to drive!
  
• Brand new save file system which is a lot more optimized and stable.
  This will not work with old save files, they'll still be accessible with the old game version on the steam beta tab.
  
• This is a foundational update, not the final version of the game! Lots more planned from us here at Foulball Hangover.

Hydroneer 2.0 is released! Its the largest update we've ever done, and I couldn't be more proud. This is an incredible step forward for the game. The foundational features included in this update will not only make it easier for us to work on, but lay the groundwork for new items and mechanics!

The update has been in the works since January 2021, and it would be a lie if I told you we didn't have immense setbacks, from staffing issues to hitting roadblocks with the multiplayer development, we had to essentially start again in December 2021, throwing out a lot of work. With this, the final version of what we wanted multiplayer to be was completely changed.
Due to technical limitations of physics engines, and our dedication to staying indie and not taking on outside investors, I decided the best move forward was to make the multiplayer aspects of the update as Steam Remote Play Splitscreen. We've been heavily testing this and putting it through its paces and I am personally very impressed with how far its come since I last used it. If you've had the same discomfort of using it before, give it another try, you might be surprised by how smooth it is!

This update is gigantic and is a solid foundation both technically and in design for the future. We've got a lot of cool things we want to do in the future:

• Update 2.1 - Farming Season. This update will bring farming, cooking, NPC interactions, and new vehicles to the game!
  
• Update 2.2 - Tier 3. This update brings in more digging machinery AND will allow you to dig much deeper in the game, as well as a major gameplay feature.
  
• After that, who knows! I don't see the development of Hydroneer stopping any time soon. As long as people are still interested, we'll make more stuff.

Finally, before I type out the mammoth amount of patch notes, I'd like to give you my thanks! Hydroneer was created as a passion project by myself, and I want to thank everyone in letting me carry on creating this. I love every day I get this awesome opportunity to work on it.
If you've been enjoying Hydroneer please consider leaving a Steam review, it really really really helps out our tiny dev team.

This mini patch is to fix few bugs found. Thank you :)

• Visual flicker occurring on certain hardware fixed
  
• Spike Pierce not working properly against opponent with zero evade fixed
  
• Modal UI bug when upgrading card fixed

Lets start with the good new!
*Added a make shift clamp on the loader forks.
*operate the loader clamp - Keyboard - hold left shift + Click Rmb or Lmb
*operate the loader clamp - Controller - Hold LB + Move LeftStick up or down
You now have a place to sell the rough cut planks!
If you own the rough cut saw mill and are at it, And have $500 in the saw mill bank! then you might have locals hauling and selling you logs!
You will need to off log these. and if you off load a log but don't have the money for it. then it should place back on the truck.
When done unloading the truck you will need to tell the driver to go. I used my voice and it's not great but was more of a test!

I updated some of the ui!
The load lock went back to 2 keys or buttons.

Now The Bad New! :(
I have been getting a ton of crashes with unity3d.
And I have been reading that unity3d is not so good for open world games.
So The game will no longer be worked on I think for some time. really a dream killer makes me sad. ;(

But I am going to learn C++ Coding and moving over to unreal engine 5!
That's right!
Now this is not going to be a walk in the park!

But!! I am going to try to add in multiplayer too.

So I have to learn the engine and C++ then I have to rebuild the whole game.
I looked back in the code to make it better and seen I was working on this game in 2018.

But with that said if you find something not working well I do my best to do update to fix it.

Remember this is hobby game I am making so keep that in mind.

Thanks for the support and thank you for the ones that bought the game and believe in me.
I will do my best to not let you down.
