Demo Beta 1.8

Thankyou to everyone who has helped test the game! I have received lots of very useful feedback, and I have been busy making changes to improve the game experience.

Features

• The layout of the tutorial map has been modified to allow for a central elevator to be built down, and an additional backup elevator has been added on the left.

• You get a second builder immediately, but the canteen and bathroom both need building.

• Various tweaks to the tutorial based on feedback, including telling the player that builders do not need elevators to dig down.

• Gold value has been increased a bit to overall improve the economy.

• All build menu options are available from the start of the tutorial! Be careful!

• Worker needs have been slowed down significantly.

• The player gets a full refund from destroying a building.

• Worker salaries have been significantly reduced.

• Scanner visibility has been slightly increased, and the scanner radius has also been increased.

UI

• Elevators show the floor number they are on!

• Mission time left now turns red or yellow as you run out of time!

• You can now see how many rooms have been built in the build menu tooltips!

• Hovering over the build generator button will now show you its energy production.

• Replaced all instances of "RP" with "Research Points".

• Save notification is larger and lasts longer.

• Slow down how quickly the resources ticker fades out.

• Show oxygen amount as a percentage in the status bar.

• Show ice as a separated item in the status bar.

• The time controls have been moved to the bottom of the screen to allow for the expanded status bar.

Bugs

• Fix workers not taking optimal walking routes.

• Fix research buttons showing briefly when first opening the research screen.

• Fix elevators not working at all when disconnected from the rest of the base.

• Fix some worker freezing issues around elevators.
