Important changes:
Increased noise pollution from zoned industry: This includes both the amount and the radius affected by noise pollution. New cities will need additional space between industrial and residential zones, and existing cities may need to rezone residential areas that are too close to industrial zones.
Population drop when loading an existing save: This is expected, as we have fixed some incorrect calculations in the citizen numbers. The numbers are corrected when you first load your save, but the population should stabilize after a short while (5-10 min).
Increased truck traffic: With the resource balancing and addition of resources being delivered to buildings before they level up, existing saves are expected to see significantly more traffic for a while. This will normalize once the buildings waiting to level up have received resources, but may require improving areas with traffic jams.
Known issues:
Fish amount is not displayed correctly for custom maps. This affects the New Game map selection and the Info View, both in-game and in the Editor. Despite the missing information in the UI, the fish resource is simulated and functions normally.
