Due to that, we had to do yet another wipe of the save files. We hope that it will be the last time that we have to make such a decision (at least for Major Update #6).
removedGreetings, Survivors!There's also one more reminder that we want to share with the players - the previous priority system hasn't been removed from the game . If you prefer the previous version and have already gotten used to it, you can go to the Settings and switch from "Priorities" to "Manual" in the Workers Management setting.
