Demo Patch: An easier start (Build-ID 25672566)

(Build-ID 25672566)Thanks for playing, and for the first round of feedback. This update removes a few early traps so the sawmill can get running sooner.**The mill** Machine parts break less often. In the demo there is also more time between two breakdowns. Titanium conveyor upgrades unlock after the debarker. The upgrade button stays visible and shows when. Fast conveyors and the tapered roller conveyor can be bought from day 15. The cheaper standard conveyors are available from the start.**Contracts and goals** The first two completed “deliver logs from a box” contracts ask for fewer logs. After that, amounts are back to normal. The early side goal “days without a repair” only appears once the headrig line is built. Until then the side goal is “deliver logs in one day”.**Hints** When the first logs land in the sort box, a hint explains how to sell them. If a log falls off the line, a...
