v0.1.75

Agriculture

• Fixed strawberry fields not being able to be harvested.

• Made optimizations to cow growth algorithms.

• Reduced daily weight gain of cows in preparation for feed requirements.

• Pigs will now age and gain weight for their first year. This is the next step in pigs being fully live, so we will ensure everyone's pigs are growing and aging properly.

• Notice: Soon food requirements will be live for all animals, I will be sure to give a 2-3 week final warning, but know that we are getting close, so make sure you have food for your animals!

Archaeology

• Reactivated survey ships conducting survey work, and missions.

• If an anomaly is discovered, it will now go into the discovering companies anomalies instead of player inventory, and will be tied to the port it was found out of.

• If an anomaly is found, a notification will be given in the notification system to the player.

• Nearing completion on Deep Sea Salvage. Next week I hope to release segment one, which will allow for anomaly designation by survey ships, and the initial primary and pinpoint searches for salvage ships once an anomaly has been determined to be salvage type. This will hopefully be followed the following week with the ability to observe/plant, lift, and transport the salvage, and before end of month be able to offload salvage into appropriate warehousing/structures. All in all before September is out this system should be fully live, probably well before many players have their ships outfitted for such operations.

Auctionhouse

• Turned back on auctions for land.

• Turned back on auctions for mystery items.

• Added new 'Restriction' system to auction, so in some cases this will limit to new players, and in the future, other restrictions.

Construction

• Fixed issue with construction loading/unloading of equipment that could cause equipment or semi to lose it's city location in some instances.

• Added Group Dispatching ability. Simply select truck group, equipment group, and then to or from site. Job will auto handle everything and put a end timer, once timer is complete equipment will be arrived and idle and trucks will be back available. It's that simple!

• Removed ability to see 'Sell' and 'Scrap' forms for equipment that is being towed from primary equipment list.

• New Dump Truck: A45G, 32m3 Capacity

• New Semi: Scania R730

• New Wheel Loader: WE1350, 25m3 Capacity

Donator

• Fixed issue that could allow multiple of a single LE to be added to your LE case. If you have a duplicate in your case, drop a ticket and we'll get you sorted!

• Made Player Market items remain on market for 30 days, up from 7.

Global Exchange

• Added the ability to create bulk loads for finished goods. All finished good loads will now create as bulk just as all raw goods loads do. Simply go and create a load in the shipping center as per usual and it will now generate the new load type!

• Verified and added in final safe guards to "Unfilled" orders. All orders will now absolutely return to their respective warehouse. This verifies all bugs regarding this are resolved.

• Temporarily made buy orders non-cancellable to fix a couple minor bugs, should return within 2 patches.

Global Market

• NOTE ON BELOW: I have decided to hold back from this system pushing live so that I can get it in place for all blueprint items, AND also give you guys a lead up time of like 90 days so you're all aware and prepared, don't want anyone feeling they weren't ready or informed. You should still more than be able to get what you need most of the time, even if you have to source it from a little further away, so don't panic, and as I said, likely the go live on this will be early 2024, but you'll see the icons and such starting to pop up in GM as we prepare for player production.

• New Dynamic NPC Supply & Demand system has arrived for the first "Blueprint" style items. All ships now have "Supply Levels". If a given ship is out of stock in a region, it will not be purchasabable there. This is a system that helps players realize that NPCs aren't a limitless supply pool, and this is how all "Blueprint" related items will function for the foreseeable future so that players can still get what they need even if a player isn't making it, but puts an increased importance on planning and working with other players towards a world of player driven economy.

• Fixed redirect issue on failure of funds for Sea Vehicle Purchase.

Group Project

• Setup all the framework and front end display for Group Project: Panama Canal. Officially our second group project. Project will start with taking sea deliveries, land container deliveries, and financial contributions.

Logistics

• Applied hotfix to issue that was causing ships to load and unload very quickly in player operated piers.

• Fixed toolcrib trailers from showing as loadable by lowboys if they are already hooked up to a dumptruck in the semi details page.

• Slight updates and fixes to various UI items.

• Fixed redirect when setting sail with survey ship.

• Added Next Waiting Ship Button to Survey Ships.

• Made a fix that should help with a few of the errant ships that were trying to lose their destination as they arrived.

• Player Ports will now unload all NPC loads for that port including NPC company orders.

• Removed 'Survey' type ships from showing in cargo ship overview.
