Players using island maintenance and design services will notice immediate changes to inventory management and interactions with non-playable characters. The official patch notes highlight that the haptic response of the controls has been refined to offer a more fluid experience, in addition to correcting flaws that compromised the integrity of saved data during major scenario renovations.
Corrections to the cleaning and inventory system
