Welcome to March, Mayors! Take a look at our recent beta branch update for some new tourism features. Building capacities have been rebalanced. And of course, bug fixes! These are the patch notes:

Version 0.0.58.5 ALPHA

Features



• Added ability for amenities to provide positive cash flow.
• Added two positive cash flow amenities: the Casino and the Toxic Waste Plant.

• Added a new cost widget in the Building Designer configuration panel.

  Improvements

  
  
• Major balancing was done for designs across the board, which will have a significant impact on gameplay. Be prepared to start a new save.

  Performance Improvements
