Just a quick note regarding priority: in addition to implementing Duplicant Jobs this update, we also tried to tackle some of the thorny issues of Priority. We felt it was a natural fit that Jobs also affect priority, but we haven’t been happy with the side effects. In particular, it was hard to understand, and now that we've added the ability to retain mastery it didn’t make much sense anymore, so we are going to backburner reviewing priorities for a later update. Please keep posting your feedback, we really appreciate it! [list][*]Priorities are now 1-9. [*]Jobs now affect priority within a single priority level (e.g. will prefer one prio 5 task over another prio 5 task) rather than across priority levels (6 is always higher than 5 no matter what) [*]Job perks are now permanent upon mastery of the job. The expectations of the highest mastered/assigned job determine the duplicant's expectations [*]Job attribute bonuses adjust to account for permanent perks [*]Jobs can only be changed at the Jobs Desk, construct one to unlock job management [*]A larger number of Duplicants can be assigned to a single job [*]Re-enabled attribute leveling, reduced max attribute base level to 20 [*]Reintroduced strength attribute to determine carrying amount [*]Athletics is rolled separately from other attributes, and no jobs directly buff athletics anymore [*]Add experience gaining and attribute speed bonuses for more chore types [*]Steam turbine should properly stop if entombed or disabled [*]Dupes will now wait for materials to be delivered before digging out any building which affects locomotion including tiles, ladders, fire poles and the pitcher pump. They will however dig out ladders/fire poles without waiting for materials if the job is attached to an existing ladder/fire pole. [*]Liquids will now only sublimate to a max pressure. [*]Conveyor contents should no longer melt when loading a save file. [*]Multiple instances of a building in a room should now be porperly considered inside that room.

[*]Fixed another bug with dupe selection. [/list] [h1]HOTFIX - 253894[/h1] [list] [*]Broad retuning of attribute leveling to even out the progress between different attribute types and put them on a new curve [*]New artwork and effects for digging hard rocks, power tinkering, and ore pickup and delivery [*]Refined Conveyor Loader, Conveyor Bridge, and Smart Locker art [*]Previously mastered jobs' perks are correctly loaded from save [*]Sound effects for Power Control Station and Steam Turbine [*]Removed Job-related subpriorities altogether, due to further knock-ons and hard-to-discern Dupe behaviour [*]Fix crash loading some older saves that had jobs assigned [*]Batteries report charge loss [*]Added Smart Battery sound effects [*]Job perks won't apply more than once [*]Updated Disease Sensor artwork [*]Tweaks to battery refill meter behaviour [*]Disease sensor sound effects [*]Jobs now show how many Duplicants have mastered that job in total [*]Shine Bug idle voice is much less frequent [*]Fix crash when Auto-Sweepers try taking medication [*]Fix crash when an item is being repaired and gets destroyed [*]Fix crash when displaying crew portraits [*]Food rotting notification has been downgraded [*]Tweaks to Printing Pod sound effects [*]Fix crash that could be caused by logic-controlled doors [*]Fix details and stats panels showing information from the previously selected entity [*]Lots of tweaks and adjustments to Jobs text and tooltips [*]Turbine now works even if it doesn't have steam above it [*]Auto-Sweepers no longer try to put everything in everything [/list] [h1]HOTFIX - 253949[/h1] [list][*]Fixed a crash that could occur during combat.[/list] [h1]HOTFIX - 254072[/h1] [list][*]Duplicant stats panel now contains perk information.
