Captain of Industry Patch 0.5.3 Notes – June 23, 2023
0.5.3
- Added a map cache that speeds up loading of games by more than 50%. When a game is loaded, map cache is saved. When the same game is loaded later, the map will be loaded from cache instead of being generated.
- Significantly improved performance of state synchronization of transports between sim and render threads. We’ve observed FPS increase by 5-10% thanks to this change, even more when the game is paused.
- Improved camera interactions with mouse events. For example, camera pan (right click) no longer triggers cancellation of the current action like a building construction.
- Improved mining priority on excavators that is now more aggressive in finding the selected resource.
- Pressed waste can no longer be discarded in the shipyard.
- Transports are no longer allowed to be constructed under water.
- Depleted steam recipe for smokestack is now unlocked together with hydrogen burning.
- Trees can no longer be planted over objects or invalid terrain.
- Fixed sudden jumping of some entities (e.g. vehicles) when game was paused or unpaused.
- Fixed floating concrete tiles that could occur in some cases.

- Fixed an issue where excavators going to new designations could fail to start mining.
- Reduced excavator fuel usage while searching for designations.
