Welcome back, Mayors. Our weekly update is on the smaller side this week, and we appreciate all of you reading these over the busy month. These are the patch notes:

Version 0.0.57.6 ALPHA

Improvements



• Removed the density requirement for the Public Pool, Social Services, Central Library, Courthouse, Hospital, and Big Park.
• Building Designer: Added a line of buoys to represent low tide for aquatic buildings. Also adding some text explaining the purpose of low tide and high tide.
• When showing a price of $0, the game now says "Free" instead of "$0.00 cents."
• When budget items are pinned to the right, negative values are highlighted in red.

  Bugfixes

  
  
• Fixed a crash related to message board achievement messages.
• Fixed an issue where always available designs were not available on new games (not loaded from a save.)
• Fixed a bug where water didn't quite connect with land in the building designer.
• Fixed a visual glitch on the water.
• Fixed a bug where trees would shift around as buildings were built. Terrain trees are no longer randomly rotated

  Schedule Update

  
  
• We will be moving to a 2-week release cycle, starting next week. There will be a patch on December 17th, and every other week thereafter (ex. there will be no update on Christmas Eve, December 24th.) There will be a patch on December 31st.

There will be more info on this schedule change in the future. The Steam Workshop support right now works for the NewCity test branch. We plan to have it implemented in the official release once 0.57 arrives in earnest. Remember to check out this update via the Betas tab. Right-click NewCity in your Steam Library and select Properties. Click the dropdown under the Betas tab and choose the "test - Testing branch". You can opt-out by choosing "NONE - Opt-out of all beta programs" instead. Going from one to the other will trigger an update as Steam fetches you the desired branch. We really appreciate all the feedback and bug reports here on Steam and Discord! Please keep posting your thoughts and touching base with us. Please follow us on Twitter for more upcoming announcements. Thank you, Lone Pine Games
