Update #2


UI:

  • Added second page to UI which will hold broader policies that apply to whole city
  • Added buttons at bottom of screen to switch between the pages (original UI now called 'Map' page)
  • Removed 'Debug Mode' button (debug mode can now be toggled by pressing the space bar)
  • Moved 'Next Day' button to right side of screen

Restrictions/policies:

  • Added restrict movement policy to LHDs
  • Added mandatory masks policy to LHDs
  • Added Greater Sydney lockdown option which will lockdown all LHDs at a cheap bulk cost but compliance will fall by 20% in LHDs with no recorded cases
  • Added Greater Sydney mandatory masks option which will mandate masks in all LHDs at a cheap bulk cost but compliance will fall by 15% in LHDs with no recorded cases
  • Added Greater Sydney limit movement option which will limit movement in all LHDs at a cheap bulk cost but compliance will fall by 10% in LHDs with no recorded cases

Action points

  • Starting action points changed to 20
  • You will now get a bonus +3 action points when cases are detected in a LHD for the first time

Virus:

  • Lockdowns will have lesser effect on virus spread rate, you will now need to implement more restrictions for maximum effect

Testing:

  • Testing system streamlined to make future additions easy to implement
  • Testing blitz removed and replaced with testing campaign which will increase testing rates by about 3%
  • Testing rates will naturally decay by 1% every day until they hit a floor (floor dependent on stage of pandemic: no cases found, cases found but no lockdown, lockdown)

Compliance:

  • Streamlined compliance system to make future additions easy to implement
  • Compliance now has a floor of 20% and a roof of 85%
  • Compliance will change by +0.3% a day naturally
  • This natural change will be modified by restrictions (lockdown -0.6%, mandatory masks -0.3%, movement restrictions -0.4%) which are summed together so if all restrictions are in place then compliance will change by -1% per day
  • Restrictions will take 3 days to begin effecting the compliance %

Quality of life:

  • When you progress to the next day, the UI update will remember what LHD you had selected
  • You can now reopen the daily briefing
