[h1]0.7.5e1: The Architect[/h1] Hey Drifters, We've got a small update for you to test out: The Architect! We've heard your requests for the ability to relocate constructions and ways to restructure the town. It posed some interesting challenges and flabbergasted us for a while, given the game's setup, but we found a solution. Enter: The Architect! This specialist allows you to go into 'Architect Mode' and completely re-plan your entire town, re-think pipelines, or just move some buildings around. It's a highly experimental feature, and we're hoping to get some good feedback on it to iron out the kinks. Enjoy the update! [h2]What's next?[/h2] This update will most likely be in experimental for some time, in the meantime we'll push some performance updates to it to further smooth out the gameplay. [b]This patch is still in development and can be tested on the experimental branch to give feedback.[/b] This is how you can enable the experimental branch of Flotsam. This will only work when you're not in a game: 1. Open Steam Library 2. Right click Flotsam 3. Select Properties 4. Go to tab 'Betas' at the top. 5. Select 'Experimental' in the drop-down.
