Greetings, Arms Dealers!

The Update to the Development Build is ready and we are excited to share it with you! This time, we "open the gates" to a completely new building, Production Hall, and offer a brand-new gaming element, machine workshops! We also made multiple improvements to Factory Ground, Engineering, Reverse-Engineering, Designand Proving Grounds! Last but not least, we fixed many errors and spent some time optimizing.
Thank you for all of your bug reports and feedback; it is extremely helpful to us!

Production Hall:

• The game now includes a brand-new building where you can mass produce your tanks.
• "Machine workshops" game mechanics have been added, allowing for deeper gameplay and more exciting options while designing your tanks

General:

• Added load screens, music and ambient sounds
• Introduced settings window with possibility to adjust video and audio preferences
• The ESC button now allows you to exit the building

Factory Grounds:

• Loading times from and to Factory Grounds have been reduced.
• Facility cards now support correct switchover.
• Facilities have now been added to Warehouse, Design, Administration and Research Buildings

Engineering:

• Further enhancements for tooltips
• WIP version of modification camera is introduced. For Hull components, the camera should now spin and translate properly to show the selected modification

Design:

• Tank design workflow has been improved. Every new design is now initiated by clicking the "new design" button for each of the corresponding Hull Families.
• Additional tooltip upgrades, such as explanations of various design stages, machinery requirements, and others
• Minor rework for some of Tank Attributes
• Minor balancing to “Internal volume” Attribute

Proving Ground and Test Driving:

• Decoupled Proving grounds from Test driving
• Proving grounds now concentrate on the Tycoon component of the Trials, whilst Test drive allows you to try the tank "first hand" and earn achievements based on your performance.
• Fixed notorious recoil bug for MG’s
• Decreased “fire” effects when firing with MG’s
• Fixed the bug with offset tracks for A7V, LK2 and Horner running gears

A few words about the upcoming build: expect functioning Warehouse and Administration buildings in the next Update!
