1.5 Update out now - New scoring, chemistry, furniture and more

Update 1.5 just went live. It's a big one, and it also lays the groundwork for Ashen Creek, the new DLC neighborhood coming August 11. Most of what's below lands in your game today, for free, no DLC required.

The highlight this time is the new Chemist's Workshop: loot chemical samples on your runs, bring them back to your hideout, and cook them into product.

On top of that, scoring got a proper rework. It now factors in stealth, time spent, and more, and the score overview at the end of a run actually shows you where the points came from.

I've also rebuilt the saving system to stop items from disappearing after loading into the map, which I know has been driving some of you crazy.
