v0.1.45

Agriculture

• Put in stuck tractor daily check, if any vehicle is in limbo due to a field merger, it will be reset to idle daily within 24 hours.

• Fixed issues with cows that were valid for butchery not being shown as valid, NPC butchering option should be visible now.

• Prepared backend work for 'Group Cull' operation option. After testing this option will allow you to butcher in bulk from a pen/pasture any cattle above a certain weight or age. This should release within next 2 patches.

Airlines

• Backend work has been done to officially begin the internal testing of gates, routes, and passenger/cargo demand at airports. After this testing I will need to also test various maintenance, fueling and logistical items like runway size, but the good news is that this was a significant step towards the release of the baby version of Airlines, so I'm thinking 2-3 weeks on this, meaning we will just squeeze it into the Q4 roadmap goal.

Construction

• Added in a fix for buildings not having their valuations added to a companies assets in the financial overview. Now it should show within 24 hours of the building kit being placed down for construction.

Head of State

• Prepared a test run of residential taxation system that will tax NPC residents based on their ownerships and incomes, after this week of testing it will mean we are ready to release the first interfaces and choices for HoS as we begin the slow rollout of this absolutely massive feature.

• First of several planned large reworks to the load generation for all types of sea loads. The new algorithm should over the next couple weeks generate more dynamic job availability based on current fleet compositions and locations. Please do remember however that this is still considered 'adhoc' and most major shippers will likely want to move to the contract system once that becomes available.
