Good morning, Mayors! Our beta update today will make it easier than ever to download mods, assets, and full modpacks. The Workshop tab is available now from your Steam library page. [previewyoutube=Urqh_RvKNGc;full]

Version 0.0.57.1 ALPHA

• Steam Workshop support for designs and modpacks. It is now possible to upload building designs and modpacks, as well as subscribe to them. Once you subscribe to a workshop item, the game will automatically download the item. You might have to restart the game.
• On Linux without Wine, the game now launches via a script that preloads OpenGL and the Steam API. This should improve Linux compatibility.
• Fixed a bug where the edge of the map didn't render.
• Fixed a crash when switching to the Building Designer
• When placing a blueprint in Test Mode, zones will now be applied.
• Added some newspaper articles related to soccer (aka non-American football).

Some users may find the music missing or farms glowing. A hotfix will be released later today to address this.


The "vapor" modpack, found in the "Select Modpack" section of the Main Menu, works with your old save files and adds new amenities like bionics labs and air filtration centers. The Steam Workshop support right now works for the NewCity test branch. We plan to have it implemented in the official release once 0.57 arrives in earnest. Remember to check out this update via the Betas tab. Right-click NewCity in your Steam Library and select Properties. Click the dropdown under the Betas tab and choose the "test - Testing branch". You can opt-out by choosing "NONE - Opt-out of all beta programs" instead. Going from one to the other will trigger an update as Steam fetches you the desired branch. We really appreciate all the feedback and bug reports here on Steam and Discord! Please keep posting your thoughts and touching base with us. Please follow us on Twitter for more upcoming announcements. L E T S G E T B U I L D I N G Lone Pine Games
