Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Greetings, Survivors!
A new build is now available on the open_beta branch. Sadly, new significant issues arose where workers disappeared in some games on the previous build. Due to that, we had to do yet another wipe of the save files. We hope that it will be the last time that we have to make such a decision (at least for Major Update #6).
There's also one more reminder that we want to share with the players - the previous priority system hasn't been removed from the game. If you prefer the previous version and have already gotten used to it, you can go to the Settings and switch from "Priorities" to "Manual" in the Workers Management setting.
