This update comes with some changes to code modding, please refer to the new Getting Started section of the code modding wiki. If your mod uses UnityEngine.PlayerPrefs, please migrate to ModBehaviour.SaveSetting and ModBehaviour.LoadSetting.

This update also adds the ability to place hardware designs in your office, which was meant to be added almost 4 years ago, but I finally got around to it.

Patch notes for Beta 1.8.35

• Fixed opening research window and looking at tech before 1980 with mods could break the game
  

• Fixed missing translation for "accept work" in contract window
  

• FIxed task deal icon sometimes overlapping buttons

Localizor is shutting down, and I've decided to roll out my own website for translations. You can now help translate the game at translate.coredumping.com. The plan moving forward is to keep all languages up to date using machine translations, if they are at least 90% translated already, but human translations will always supersede machine translations.

Changes

• Translations have moved from Localizor to Translate.Coredumping.com
  

• Translations downloaded from Translate.Coredumping.com will optionally auto-update when new keys are translated
  

• Missing translations will now default to english unless disabled in language menu

• Awards were added to the global search panel

Fixes

• Fixed asymmetric wall objects like doors not being flipped correctly when mirroring room over a single axis
  

• Employees no longer complain before they've arrived at their desk, to avoid warning about toilets because they're looking for their desk while having to pee
  

• Fixed being able to see employees outside on the floor above the active floor
  

• Fixed products temporarily being able to get more users than are supported by their OS in the sales calcuation, which could make it look like you had more users than you actually have for subscription-based products
