Strange town hall and tech level building upgrade costs

[grahfstampede]

It has been a few years since I last played. I came back to my early new game + save and noticed two buildings have abnormally cheap upgrade costs. The town hall and tech level scientist building. All other building upgrade costs are still the same high cost amount in the 10s or hundreds of thousands.

I started upgrading the town hall a bunch assuming the numbers just got adjusted since it was the first building I went to, until I looked at other buildings which still had the old high costs for upgrades. I got the town hall equipment level from 20 to 52 and that lv 52 upgrade only cost 12041 gold and it only goes up by a few hundred gold each time, almost linearly actually. This feels a bit OP and I assume a bug is at work. Let me know if you would like my save file. I used to send it to you via discord I can do that again if you are still available there. Either that of via email.

A few other town bugs, not sure if it is because my save is from like 2 years ago or what.
- When I assign ghosts to the motel it just keeps accepting them, eating them essentially.
- When I attempt to talk to my barkeep he moves for a second but no chat occurs.
- Depending on which building I exit, the extra buildings on the east side of town show up or go back to forest / grass.

Evening human!

2 year save? Hmmmmmmmmmm... many strange things occur with older saves. Especially those older than a year. However, the tool cost and hotel assignment will be looked into.

Will also update the game manual later today with the new tool cost formulas.

Praise be to the altar!

Edit: Fixed text to construction tools to properly display 50% instead of 25%. Tool cost is now cubed by its tool level instead of squared.

I have my save prior to starting new game + available still which I could turn into another new game + again. I was only about 10 hours into new game + I think. Would it be worthwhile to try and redo the start of new game +, not sure that would magically adjust anything or should I just continue on. Other than the town issues I haven't noticed any issues out in the world.

The prices are correct, but they are heavily imbalanced! Next patch is a large patch, one that will likely be in June. It'll adjust their prices to be more reasonable.

As for the Hotel, will be looking into that one later today. Haven't touched the Hotel management event in months, if not years, so not sure why it would be doing what it's doing if it is doing it.

TLDR: Big Update, June. Continue with the Murda! Break everything!

I meant the motel, the one near the docks in the south, not the hotel management building.

Oh, murda murda!

Will look into it right now. Praise be to the altar!

Edit: Once a ghost is assigned, it works as intended. However, the choice to add more still remains. This choice has been removed.

Murda! thank you human for finding this! Praise be
