Good afternoon everyone,

Today we have some QoL changes to SEHS, with new timetable services, new paths in Scenario Designer as well as PIS Display changes and various fixes/improvements.

Please view our full change list of patch notes below.
These changes will be live from now on all platforms.

• Added new services to the timetable
  - Timetable is ready for Thameslink Class 700 EMU
  - The Kentish Crompton railtour using WSR Class 33 & Spirit of Steam Mk1s
  - The Medway Valley Crompton railtour using WSR Class 33 & Northern Trans-Pennine Mk2s*
  - 1O99 and 1S87 railtours using Northern Trans-Pennine Class 47 & Mk2s
  - Additional steam-hauled seasonal AI only railtour at Strood (Nov/Dec)
  - Additional seasonal static stock throughout the route using various, already in-use addons
  - Tweaked how peak-time Class 465 turnback procedures work at Strood to be more prototypical
  - Total number of playable services should be 710 with all layers activated (including Class 700)
  
• Added new paths for use in Scenario Designer
  - Making better use of more platforms at each station, for example, can now spawn trains at Strood Platform 3
  - Offering more terminating points, for example, St Pancras to Rochester Platform 3
  - Added HS1 paths which go via Ebbsfleet, Stratford, or both via avoiding lines rather than platforms
  - Added freight-specific paths which start at various Hoo Junction lines & Sittingbourne Goods Loop
  
• Added EMT Class 43 layers to SEH scenarios.
  
• PIS Display will now show “A service formed of X coaches” text.
  
• Changed a ‘Go Via’ to correctly be a ‘Stop at’ near Hoo Junction Siding 27
  
• Fixed an issue where an AI service near St. Pancras appeared to be going backwards.
  
• Fixed descriptions with incorrect starting points and destinations.
  
• Fixed issue with long text getting cut on PIS Displays.
  
• Various fixes to prevent crashes.

Please Note: The Medway Valley Crompton railtour has one caveat in order to be correctly drivable; you must briefly go into the lead cab of the rear locomotive and toggle the brakes from Shutdown, into Full Service, and back into Shutdown. This will allow for a proper release of the brakes and without this, you will not be able to move the train.

• Fixed an issue with wagons not loading on 6O47 services.

We are thrilled to present you with our latest update, packed with exciting enhancements and improvements for an even more immersive experience. In this patch, we have focused on enhancing the game's visuals, optimizing gameplay, and addressing various bugs and issues. From a visually stunning train overhaul to the addition of new voice-overs, we have left no stone unturned in our quest to bring you the best time aboard the Ornament Express.

Hey, Magical Mixers!

Now that most of our worst bugs seem to be out of the way, we are excited to add more content to the game!

With this update, we aim to add another step of automation in the mid-late game through the introduction of the Summoner Crate and Repeatable Importing.

We also wanted to make our first balancing pass on the in-game economy - without expecting it to be perfect yet.

As always, your feedback is what helps us shape The Magical Mixture Mill and we hope to see you on our Discord to read your experience and suggestions!

• Bigger Workshop
  - We have added another 3 tiers of workshop sizes, which allows for a Workshop that is four times the current maximum size.
  - For work-safety reasons, Bogglewoggle insisted on adding some support pillars. Some of your workstations may have been dismantled as a result of this.
  
• New Workstation: Summoner Crate.
  - The Summoner Crate can summon resources from either Chests or the Import Storage. However, it requires Arcane Power to do so.
  
• New Workstation: Arcane-O-Coil.
  - The Arcane-O-Coil transforms Mixtures into Arcane Power for nearby Workstations.
  
• Advanced Importing.
  - The maximum daily import amount has been raised.
  - Import prices increase the more you import.
  - Imports can be toggled to be repeated daily.
  - Import expenses are no longer paid when the import order is made. Instead, coins are deducted at the end of the day.
  - Sticks are now a baseline import. This should reduce tree grind.
  
• New Investment: Emporium Exoticum
  
• New Investment: King’s Tavern

• Investment overhaul
  - Bob has retired from his blacksmithing business
  - Yeast importing is now unlocked from the tavern tier II investment.
  - All insect ingredients can now be unlocked for importing through the herbalist tier II investment.
  
• In-game economy rebalance
  - Brewing and selling potions should be the main source of income in the game. Therefore, we have reduced the value of most resources and increased the value of higher tier potions.
  
• Resources inside Workstations that are in production are grayed out in the interface to better indicate they can not be removed.
  
• Connection Mode now has on-screen help text to make it easier to connect workstations.
  
• Connection paths now transport resources a tiny bit faster so the Rusher Crate can run more smoothly.
  
• Dismantling a workstation now triggers a prompt.
  
• Moving a workstation that has connections now triggers a prompt.
  
• You can now remove resources from a workstation when they are not running a production.
  
• Changed the way geodes work. It is no longer possible to force them to make diamonds by clever use of game mechanics.
  
• We have simplified and toned down the Outskirts music to make it less dominant.
  
• Build Mode UI: It should now be more obvious when you do not have enough resources to build a Workstation.
  
• Settings: Resolution is now locked when playing in borderless windowed mode.

• Creating circular connection networks now actually works!
  
• End-of-day-screen music now no longer triggers if you click on the bed.
  
• Resources in crates now no longer randomly spawn underneath the floor.
  
• Workstations now no longer stop working after 25 in-game days if you have high FPS.
  
• Inventory stacks no longer merge when loading a game.
  
• Dismantling or moving a Workstation with an active connection should no longer randomly break the Workstation.
  
• You should no longer get stuck between the burned house and the wheat fields.
  
• Triggering a “conversation” with Lapis no longer starts a dialogue with Chunk.
  
• Randomly selecting in-game objects while in the main menu should no longer be possible.
  
• While in connection mode, magic trail pathing should now display correctly.
  
• Pinetrees now no longer randomly spawn in Wilderness.
  
• Kilns no longer create a clone of a potion when burning away the mixture.
  
• The furnace now properly registers charcoal when it has a potion input.
  
• Getting stuck on the first big tree stump in Old Woods should no longer be possible.
  
• Getting stuck on stump-gate leading to the Old Woods Ruins should no longer be possible.
  
• Odie’s dialogue now matches the objective in the Unfortunate Son - Part 4 quest.
  
• Quest tracker toggle hotkey now functions in the inventory screen.

Greetings fellow engineers,

a new update has just been released to improve some graphical content and the user interface. The Steam Workshop is not ready yet and needs more time than originally expected, but I'm working on it. I have also heard some reports of performance issues that I would like to improve as well.

• Added a scanline effect when watching security cameras
  
• Revised Post Processing effects
  
• Power drain severity and server failure occurences can now be selected separately in Custom Scenario
  
• Active security camera map button now green

• Fixed bug with SCP-096 getting stuck in place
