Patch v1.0.002 - This update features the following changes:

  • Added tidal wave/tsunami event! Very rare event but very destructive and cool to watch.
  • Cyclones won't destroy buildings associated with active missions (although can still interrupt their power)
  • Added visual to show low voltage underground path between Loads and Substation, Capacitor Bank and Substation, Renewables and their Inverter and Inverter to its EHS.
  • Added visual text value above loads showing their power draw when mouseover their connected substation
  • Added button on Load Connect UI to show load location
  • Added feature to click an EMF shield to remove it when in the EMF shielding setup UI
  • Fix scaling of EMF shielding material
  • Time before connection penalty applies is doubled
  • Fix to ground/earth rod pricing for spacing choice (should be free)
  • Fix to rare event that could cause building lights to stay on when substation failed
  • Fixed an edge case where an info popup can show without any info
  • Fixed annoyance where players using keyboard/mouse but had other gamepad/steering wheel/input device received single from both at the same time, for example drifting UI scroll bars. Selecting keyboard/mouse now enables "ignore gamepad" in the settings menu, which players may not have known existed.
  • Tick symbol no longer stays visible above loads and capacitor banks
  • UI improvements and tweaks
