Patch 1.1.0:2105b (21 May 2019)

Major changes to Logistcs:

Prices for Logistic Requests have skyrocketed, but the capacity is much higher now.

It's all more according to how big bulky transportation vehicles should work.
Make sure the vehicles are full and do NOT use Logistic Requests for raw stuff, or you'll go bankrupt super quickly.

In short:

Automated Warehouse trucks are very cheap
Normal trucks are good for very short range (under 50 tiles)
Warehouse dispatch trucks are good for short range (under 125 tiles)
Trains are expensive to set up, but are fast and good over 200 tiles
Boats are cheap and high capacity, ideal for long distances (over 250 tiles over water)
Zeppelins are very expensive and meant for when a player has a lot of money and needs Products moved in as a short distance as possible.

Stock Market

Players can now buy up other companies in hostile takeovers, by purchasing their stocks when they are vulnerable.
Be careful as other companies can buy up your stock.
Stock prices go up over time, as the company places more buildings and gains control over more regions
The more stocks are sold, the more expensive they get

AWH Dropdown. A new dropdown was added to the Outgoing tab of the Warehouse, to control more what buildings receive what.

"Equally": like now: AWH sends stuff equally to shops and producers. This is the default state.
"+Shops": it will send stuff to shops first, then, if there's spare, to producers. Only applies to products shared. So if the WH is next to a farmer market and a livestock, it will send the wheat first to the shop, and then to the farm. This will not impact sending apples, as it's a different product (will be sent at the same rate as the wheat to the shop).
"+Users": it will send stuff to producersfirst, then, if there's spare, to shops. Only applies to products shared. So if the WH is next to a farmer market and a livestock, it will send the wheat first to the farm, and then to the shop. This will not impact sending apples, as it's a different product (will be sent at the same rate as the wheat to the farm).
"Only shops": AWH will supply only shops and will not care about producers.
"No shops": AWH will supply only producers and will not care about shops.
"All Off": same as "all manual" (AWH disabled).

Patch A7.4:0711a (07 November 2018)

Ok guys, getting ready for Alpha 8! Scenarios, new Town growth mechanics and above all: The Network (Trade Routes revamp) is around the corner (I'd say 2-3 weeks). Meanwhile we're presenting you with patch 7.4: new event system! You will be able to choose the frequency and type of events spawned, and we tripled the amount of events that can happen! This will make planning a lot more important, as we'll throw many more curveballs your way!

Now, I got a small favour to ask of you: I really want to hear your thoughts, so please, hop on the store page and leave a review. It doesn't have to be good or bad, I just need to hear from you guys. Of course, I'm always available to chat, either here, Discord or email!

As usual, I strongly recommend you start over (save should load fine, but I still think you should start a new map due to the gatherer and economy changes). If you don't want to risk it, hop on the OldVersions branch :)

Improvements and Changes

Many more events and different diffculties for them (careful with "Cruel"!)
When you hover over a label with the mouse, it will move in front of other labels.
Halloween is officially over. No more spooky maps.
Increased map size of Large Maps by a lot

Patch 0.5.1.1602d (19 February 2018)

9 people and 56 energy drinks later, we present to you patch 0.5.1!

Want to start by saying that we've personally have been checking every single review, thread, tweet and let's play to gather as much feedback as possible to make this first patch a clear message about how we intend to develop this game. We are always watching and reading, as we believe Early Access is about developer and player interaction, so there can be a strong exchange of thoughts and feedback to improve. If not, what's the point? Sell a few copies and run? Nah...

We're here to resurrect our childhood love: Industry Giant, and bring it to this decade. For that, we need your help, so keep those threads and videos coming! Of course, we would like to make all of the changes now, but bear with us, some take longer than others. Throughout Early Access (and after full release where necessary) we will keep tweaking and improving the overall gameplay experience.

But for now, please sit back and check out these changes (especially in the new wholesalers and tech tree changes), as a lot might change the way you have to play.

Now need to sleep for 3 or 4 days straight. Enjoy the weekend!
