It's trash time, baby!

Summarized patch notes

Changes

• Introduced indoor air quality that propagates through rooms and shows up as a gas/dust cloud in the room. This mechanic also replaces the odour mechanic
• Employees now generate paper trash, which can be dealt with by using trash cans (can be auto-placed for old saves and blueprints)
• Employees and cooks now generate food spills to encourage office/canteen separation
• Pallets now auto-connect to conveyor belts, pickup and drop-off points will be refunded on load
• Some furniture can now be auto-placed by holding J (default binding) during placement
• Improved key binding UX because people still don't know you can rebind keys and use , and . to rotate furniture?!
• Overhauled pathfinding data structure for performance + better determination of outdoor walking speed
• You can now build in front of elevators due to pathfinding overhaul
• Added support for modding doors and windows due to pathfinding overhaul
• "Old sole" trait is out, but "Immaculate" and "Claustrophobic" is in + new "Paranoid" personality trait
• Added support for networking and html-like UI creation for code mods
• Add-ons are now filtered based on whether their parent product is archived
• Added confirmation when cancelling active support deals (they can be cancelled without repurcussion if work hasn't begun)
• Tables with stuff on it can now be eaten at, assuming the stuff on it can be free placed (e.g. not big objects like computers and servers)
• Increased how far elevators can be off center and still be connected to 8cm (Does not fix existing saves)
• Employees will now prioritize tasks based on whether they are a secondary task and/or secondary role individually instead of as a whole
• Rooms that are otherwise off limits will now be treated as neutral if they have food trays, since people forget to mark them as canteens
• Dirty room warnings now only pop up for offices and reception areas
• Improved flickering light from lamps that are about to break and added sound effects + option to disable
• Added notification when another company uses player's framework
• Made clocks colorable

Fixes

• Fixed room curve tool taking walls on other floors into account when calculating nearness
• Fixed some areas becoming unpathable in Windows builds making furniture unavailable despite not being obstructed
• Fixed bug in multiplayer when releasing new version of digital distribution platform
• Fixed task priorities not being loaded in correctly when loading a save game, making it so teams with max task limits would work on the wrong task, until task order was changed
