Hotfix #3 — 18 October 2026
Hotfix #3 is the long one. I split the items into “your old save may still be broken” and “the overlay was lying,” because those are the two that change how I read a 16 October city.
Saves that stay broken
Overlapping Kewa conversations could freeze progress. The post says the fix does not repair a save that is already stuck. The test in the notes: open the Whale Communicator, and if a conversation is active with no choices, that save is the broken one. I am not promising a console command. Kewa care.
What else the post names
- World generation could omit sand inside the breathable zone. The post says the chance is lower, not zero. Known bugs.
- Green “valid” power tiles could show with no generator connected. Power checklist.
- The Kitchen’s adjacency bonus could stop it producing.
- Choosing a spaceship could rarely soft-lock.
- Forest planting or composting outside atmosphere could make the game extremely slow.
- A road holding a resource cache could not be demolished.
- Fixed Wild Flowers and Meadows being blocked until 20 Power had been produced in the current session. This was a session-state bug, not a new permanent 20-Power building requirement.
- A Research Facility mid-research can no longer be moved.
- A bridge-flooding edge case.
