fixed not being able to open some boat rides despite having enough space for the boats

fixed "average amount of food consumed" in park stats being incorrect
fixed maintenance costs missing in "Total profit" display of shops since version 1.9b

Experimental Apple Silicon support

We have an experimental native version available for Mac users with an Apple Silicon device (M1, M2, M3 CPU). In our tests we're seeing a roughly ~20% performance increase over the non-native version. We have given it a fair bit of testing and it seems to be running fine, but if you give it a try and notice anything not working as it should with this version please let us know. We're especially unsure about how stable the cross-platform multiplayer is - it seems to be fine, and there's even a chance that it's working better than the non-native version, but since it depends a lot on what you build in your park we'd be very happy about any feedback on how well this is working for you, both positive and negative :) To switch to this test version, right-click on Parkitect in your Steam library and then select Properties -> Betas -> select "apple_silicon" from the Beta Participation dropdown.
