Factory Town Patch Notes Aug 22

Features / Improvements

Added Campaign Maps 1 and 2. These are custom-built maps with specific start conditions and goals, and are unlocked in a progression. To access these, choose New Game, then Campaign.
Non-sandbox maps from previous versions of the game are assigned the default victory conditions (“Build OmniTemple”)
Added customizable Victory Conditions, accessible during game creation and in-game editor function. Min happiness, min required buildings of specific types, min required player items, min items produced (even if consumed) and min base level can all be set independently.
If School is disabled in game rules, then buildable items that depend on research are automatically hidden
Can now modify Research Recipe properties
Added Max Base Level as editable value on global rules. Will automatically hide any buildable items that are unobtainable based on the set value of this max level restriction.
Added Max House Level as editable value on global rules.
Base can now have its population-provided-per-level adjusted. Default is ‘4’, can enter comma-separated values to change population provided per-level (e.g. ‘4, 8, 12, 16’…)
Can directly enable or disable an item from the right-click menu when editing rules
Improved performance on selected building UI
UI panels preserve their position when closed
Some UI panels can be resized by dragging on window edges and corners
Added new models for the Base to make each level more distinct
Will now show a save prompt if you try to load a new map while in a non-saved map
Main game menu now has distinct ‘save’ and ‘save as’ options. ‘Save’ only appears if you have previously saved the map
When zoomed in, Tilt Shift blur is now dependent on camera depth, not screen position
Minor structures are not shown in Unlock Notifications
Added tooltip when hovering main Happiness display icon, showing current Happiness Level, production bonus, and happiness required for next bonus level.
Added new Biome: Low Ridges
