You think you run this town, then reality taps your shoulder. This update leans into uncertainty, the rare event, the cost of ignoring details. Build, govern, read the signs. Or pay.

What is new

🏗️ It's not a city builder if there's no construction!
When you want to build something, you'll see a construction site. Be patient because it takes time.

💸 Bankruptcy 
When the city losses accumulate 100,000,000 you are out. Game over.

📰 Newspaper with teeth
A new fresh layout for the newspaper with better reporting about problems in the city, when children lack schools, when citizens flee because hospitals are full, when there's no good roads for putting out a fire. You will read it, then you will feel it in your budget.

👮 Crime patterns refined
Smarter patrols that travel around the city every day to prevent crime, and criminals who are one step ahead, following the crime pattern theory. The victim is left without money, and it is transferred to the criminal's wallet. Less drama, more consequences.

🚒 Fire simulation tightened
Logic is built in to take traffic into account and respond better to emergencies. Expenses are properly recorded when a building is saved. Heroism isn't free, as the ledger reminds us.

🛣️ Farms 
A place for agricultural business and great source of work for every type of citizen.

🧰 Toolbox quality of life
Cleaner tool selection, visible cursor cues, faster info windows with Esc, improved animations. Demolish moved to a saner spot in the menu, confusion reduced.

💹 Budget and stats clarity
Budget reports fixed and formatted consistently, rent values shown with proper currency formatting, uncollected waste removed from the stats table. Fewer fake signals, better decisions.

🧑‍🏭 Labor capacity checks
The job market now respects worker capacity. Overpromising collapses, underprovisioning bites. Markets punish daydreaming.

⚙️ Graphics options for real machines
Advanced graphics settings for fine tuning the look of the game, for fidelity or frame rate, your call, your rig, your tradeoff.

🆘 Help that helps
Outdated building requirements removed, budget monitoring tips refined. Less noise, more signal.
