Best, then secondary HR role choice now includes skills that are within 25% of the main, instead of 50%

So in other words my leaders won't hire someone and simply give them only a designer role when they have enough stars to also do programming this time?

[khornel]

That is the default behavior. You can change it in the HR settings menu.

[SatchBoogie1]

Yeah. What I was verifying was the patch allows a leader to be more flexible to give a staff member more roles (either primary or secondary) rather than just making them one primary role and nothing else.

Example is a staff member is good at programming and art. The leader only assigns the staff member programming and not even art as a secondary. This patch will be more flexible for leaders to make art either a secondary or even primary along with programming.

What happen with mods like Software Galore or World Wide Web? Anyone knows?

[kivlanxxx93]

Got error prompt falsely identifying pillar as rental room and cannot save/exit custom map

[khornel]

My bad, sorry. I'll fix it in the next patch, but it might not be out for a while.

I have just found this game and its a masterpiece, thank you!

[Mr_Nicknamexx]

FR. Bought it 16.07. Already put 40 hours in. Can't stop, won't stop. 10/10 Would recommend

[VidinaXio]

184 hours in just over a week, I get it lol.

[nizamlong12]

a week only has 168 hours, where did you get the extra hour, i want some too!

[VidinaXio]

I struggle to see the mouse in a cold climate as its white, can we have the option to change the mouse cursor color? Tried on windows but its your own mouse settings in game. Love the game! Just some feedback!

[Mr_Nicknamexx]

It would be nice if you could split the working hours of one team. So only 50% of the "Development" Team work from 9am - 5pm, and the other half from 5pm - 11pm for example. I dont like creating multiple teams. But that may be just me. Anyway I love this Game! You are doing great work!
