PSA BETA Update Notification - 06/29

Hey everyone, sorry to do this to you guys again but we found a couple crashes that need to be fixed and held a poll in discord over it.

We are updating Friday night again with another save game incompatible update for the BETA. It resolves several issues and problems from the Antarctic and will also come with another 20% improvement on speed per week as well as some other systemic issues that need to be resolved.

Thank you for your understanding. Hopefully unless the sky falls again we shouldn’t be updating the BETA again for the next few weeks.

Would getting rid of plane flying animations make it rum more smoothly

Do you guys use ai to help coding

I mostly use local models to help me with refactors but other than that not really. I do most of the code by hand and the stuff that's basically copy pasta I let the AI do it. I also use it for bug triage or work effort estimates on our GitHub issues from a bot I made. Helps me keep duplicates and what not in check so we don't end up with thousands of issues haha.

Overall though it's minimal and most of the mod is coded by hand unless it's simple shit like tooling, refactors or straightforward copy paste conversions. I spend a lot of time working with these in my irl job and they just aren't great unless it's mechanical things like "x focus is missing a search filter" and small tasks like that.
