Patch notes 2026-03-25 (experimental)

Are you ready for a bunch of fresh experimental tweaks? Here we go!

Misc.

• Added a dam-related tip to the Droughts tutorial path.

• Made further improvements to the consistency of physical and mathematical units across in-game text.

• The construction progress panel was moved to the bottom, so the interactive elements in the selected building’s window no longer change position after that building is finished and the construction progress panel disappears.

Bug fixes

• Contamination no longer leaks through Throttling Valves.

• Fixed water flowing through a Floodgate when placed atop a Valve.

• The capacity numbers for goods no longer include storage marked for emptying.

• Fixed an issue with paths being displayed as not connected for a single frame, right after being placed.

• Removed that extra "Nothing" appearing in the top bar when a good with zero quantity was present. Nothing to see here, move along.

• Fixed Ctrl, Shift, and Alt input bindings not working. This, sadly, brings back the issue of reacting to keys pressed during the game load.

• Selecting buildings is now more precise when using the Demolish and Priority tools.

• The Windows key is no longer available to bind as a modifier key (Win + other key combinations). This fixes some common problems with input blocking when gaining or losing focus.

• Status icons for buildings shouldn't appear below them anymore.

• Added a few missing flavor texts.

• Restored the correct layout for the Zipline tooltip.

• Updated the Resource Counter’s description to match the new names for its toggles.

• Fixed the Wood Fence’s misleading description.

• Fixed the Valve’s incorrect synchronization texts.

• Removed an unnecessary hate dot from the Polish localization.

• Fixed a few semantics issues in the Korean localization.

• Swimming pool is now Swimming Pool. That was a capital mistake.

• Fixed a crash caused by loading a save file with incompatible buildings.

• Fixed a crash related to the in-game intro.

• Fixed a rare crash related to the Indicator’s light color.
