After Dark patch notes (1.2.0)

[ParadoxianFK]

A lot of nice new fixes in the free after dark update, a lot of tiny details fixed except one.
The glitch that occurs at train stations showing the overhead power line gantries off centre sitting half on the tracks half on the platform was overlooked.
Someone mentioned in a thread that it might be caused by games that are played with left side drive for roads. This should of been fixed by the developers before let alone now after the After Dark update.
Are the developers going to fix this glitch already?!

I am curious about SDK/API changes. Has new functionality been added for modders? It would be nice to see a comprehensive list of any changes in this category.

Solar plants IRL do work at dark time too, those have a capacity to store power.

This is a very recent development. IIRC the first Solar Plant to produce energy 24/7 was opened in 2011. In theory it can store 15 hours of Energy but is very dependent on daytime conditions so is not totally reliable. The power produced is probably on a par with Coal Power Plants (in the Game)

the game will not launch to play any help with this problem

You followed the advice and added the "-disableMods" and "-noWorkshop" launch parameters then re-tested?

Just patched last night. Didnt get to spend any serious time with it yet but I did want to ask:

To be clear, with the 1.2 patch (non-AfterDark), is the night purely cosmetic or is it dynamic? I see the split budget sliders now but everything seems nominal through both day and night (ir traffic looks the same and kids are in school in the middle of the night).

I got another patch today? Whats up with that?

If you've found a bug, or feel a pre-existing bug needs new attention, please take the time to post on our tech support forum. We are rigorously going through that forum, and it makes it much easier for us to collect bugs and get them fixed IF you post them all together =)

Thanks so much for your help, and your patience!

• Day/night option added

My assumption means that this was added into the base gameplay then?

I confirm that it has been added to the base game, but I'm still unclear as to whether it is just cosmetic, or dynamic.

Perhaps I'm getting better at the game, but it seems like one of the little tweaks in the patch is that water pipes are much more "snappable" and when I add on to my water grid it no longer looks like it was laid down by drunken plumbers... anyone else noticed this?

Thank you so much for this! I can't wait to play when I get home!

Cool beans, thanks. Personally, I don't care if it is cosmetic or dynamic, I just wasn't all that sure if it was in the base game.

High School is open and full with students at night? Same with playground.
Though citizens do not have to be at their work places/schools to progress, they should be sacked during night time at least just for the sake of feeling

The solar power plant should have some way of storing energy, or have a policy to turn them off during the night and activate alternative power sources, or else solar power plants would not be worth it anymore.

I see a mod coming along soon(tm) for this.

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Can't you just make an option that if you unsubed from some workshop items they will just dissapear in your save after next upload?
