Megaquarium 3.0.9g

Along with the Staff Gate there are bunch of bug fixes and improvements included with this update:
Feature: Added Staff Gate to Architect's Collection.
Fixed bug: Double clicking trade button very fast would cause multiple animals to be traded away while filing only a single trade slot.
Fixed bug: Impossible "Biodiversity" objective offered in sandbox mode.
Fixed bug: Floating plants in Feeding Platform Tank appeared at the wrong height (FF).
Fixed bug: Fixed occasionally bugged UI with guppy breeding (FF).
Fixed bug: Sand eel appears in wrong place when staff carrying it and a tool belt does a fixing task.
UX: Fixed UI positioning in save and load menus in non-English languages.
Optimisation: Sped up message log loading.
Modding: If only English strings are present, these will be used even when the selected language is not English.

Increased stability when encountering errors contained within mods on save game load.

Fixed bug: 'Reptiles' category was not localised into non-English languages correctly unless FF DLC was installed.

UX: Decorations can now be placed even where there are no viewable locations.
Fixed bug: Mods with non-capitalised folder names were not being read correctly on Linux OS.
Fixed bug: Could not place underground tunnel in a position where walls would be against the middle edges, at some angles.
UX: Slightly tweaked code for positioning decorations in tanks with raised or lowered substrates.
Modding: Container 'adjust bounds' variables no longer apply to land-based animals when they are on land.
Modding: Added hosting.childLayerConverter to allow tanks to adjust the occupation layers of incoming decorations. This is required for tanks which occupy layer -1 or 1 but not 0.

This patch fixes an issue in the Chinese version of the game, where the cashflow window did not appear correctly.I have a more substantial update coming soon with some nice (much requested) improvements to the staff behaviour when they don't have a job, plus some optimisation improvements which will hopefully smooth out some of the frame spikes that occur when you are operating a large aquarium.

- Fixed bug where one of the Chicago tanks was always available regardless of the rank you started at. Unfortunately the fix only affects new sandbox games. Sorry about that!
- Cursor is now hidden in first person mode.
- Altered the way the game calculates whether a deep tank has been correctly connected to the floor in level 3.
- Fixed a minor graphical issue caused by moving stairs.

There's still a ton of smaller tweaks/features that I'm itching to get into the game over the next few weeks but the next major feature I'm planning to work on will be some kind of smart search/filtering system for the build menu to make it easier to find things (especially animals) in the later stages of the game.

- Added staff priorities to level up messages.
- Added fully grown active swimmer requirement to tooltip.
- Fixed bug where cashflow was misreporting the costs of food, drink and gift shop items.
- Fixed bug where guide book and balloon refills were too cheap.
- Fixed bug where calcium reactor was free.
- Reduced number of horse eye jacks given as gift in Myra level from 5 to 3.
- Fixed bug with deep outcrop tank where staff would go inside temporarily if you dropped it on top of them.
- Fixed bug where Blue Whiting had no ecology point value.
- At end of day we don't auto drop items that are being carried by the player unless they are tanks or animals.
- Scenery no longer produce negative prestige if a guest sees it over and over.
- Clicking cancel task now drops the item making it slightly easier to force staff to do a particular job. (More stuff coming in this area!)
- Fixed bug where staff learned slightly slower on fast mode.

I'm still very busy with the house move but after I've moved I'll be back with more update goodness!
