Put your entrepreneurial skills to the test in the first title in the ROI series as you create & optimise intricate production lines. As an early 20th-Century industrialist, grow your empire & adapt to an ever-changing business landscape with unexpected events that could lead to boom…or bust.
At last, the massive 2.0 patch is now ready for you! Set to be officially released next week, we need to be sure it's stable and fun! For that, we need your help. Please hop on the Experimental branch and give it a go!
[i]Note that this is an Experimental build, so translations might not work (still wrapping them up). Everything else should work fine[/i]
The full log is massive (found later on), but the main features are:
[h1]Layouts[/h1]
[list]
[*] Similar to other games' Blueprints
[*] Players are now able to highlight and save their favorite production lines as Layouts.
[*] Players can retrieve and place their Layout between different games (saved locally).

[h1]Seasons[/h1]
[list]
[*] Each game now starts in Spring.
[*] The map will change colors and feel depending on the season.
[*] Aesthetic and optional change, no impact on gameplay. Tried to make demand and Farms work per season, but completely changed and broke how the game should be played. Simply wasn't fun.

Oh, and can now mod in new names for the Competitors! [url=https://riseofindustry.gamepedia.com/Company_Names_Modding]Here[/url]'s a guide for how to do it.
Also reworked the NewGame menu, so it's categorised and much cleaner to look at, rewrote how towns, hills and rivers are placed for a more organic feel, and more!
Now, we'll finish the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1139110/Rise_of_Industry_2130/]2130 DLC [/url] which is set to be released the 24th (next Thursday). Super excited!
