Office

Social HQ prototype - furnish an office as Terry and allow selected players or everyone to visit while you are offline
Workshop wardrobe - choose clothing you own in s&box and save it as part of your Global Rush avatar;
Workshop collection - 45 additional furniture models and 22 Workshop clothing
Office chat - talk with everyone in the same office, press Enter to type; only they read along and nothing is kept after the visit. The office prototype is not released yet
Voice chat - speak in the office with your s&box voice setting, a speaker next to a name shows who is talking, and you can mute a visitor for yourself
Window view - the office window looks out over the real town around the owner's headquarters; the office prototype is not released yet
Window jump - jumping out of the office window brings you back to the entrance a second after landing
Window glass - the office window is glazed, so you stay inside and still see the town
Office building - the office is the top floor of its own building in that town instead of hovering above the roofs

Handbook

Office prototype guide - controls, furnishing, visitor access, offline visits and saving are documented locally for the unreleased office prototype

Economy

Jetty - a new fishery fitting adds one berth, so a harbour can run up to eight more boats

Interface

Fishery pictures - the fishery, its fishing boat, cutter, landing station, boat workshop and jetty now have their own pictures. Before, your business list showed a tool factory for every fishery
Next one adds - the Fittings tab says what one more piece changes right now, and why nothing arrives when it doesn't: speed cap, landing limit, no free berth or missing floor space

Office

Furnishing walls - the room camera opens only the walls between it and the room, the others stay with their pictures and lights

Economy

Canned fish - towns and NPC customers now buy canned fish, so a fishery with a cannery can sell without a food plant

Interface

Speed fittings - in every business, installed speed fittings above the speed cap now say how many of them add nothing, so you can take the surplus out for a refund
Business tab - rebuilt around what limits your business: its status, any problem with the button that fixes it, output, result and stock each shown once, and capacity bars where the shortest bar is the limit with staff or landing stations right beside it
Fittings tab - one table with pictures of every fitting your business can use, the quantity right in the row, and cost, floor space and effect shown before you confirm. The catalog switch, search, filter and pages are gone

Performance

Server tick - the world update every minute had slowed down since the data centres opened. It takes less time again, so short freezes are rarer, and every business earns exactly the same

Interface

Fishery fittings - the catalog now shows the speed limit and when landing already caps your catch. Before, it kept offering speed fittings that added no fish; installed ones now say how many are surplus
Oil sites - platforms and wells now show their oil field or town next to the name in the route and send windows, Stock and Businesses. Before, only a number told two platforms apart, and Businesses wrote that number differently
Land yield - the land window showed only the base yield of your land. It now shows what your land really harvests, with your research bonus and any drought or storm counted in, and the base yield right below
Fitting pictures - fittings show their pictures again. They had disappeared from the Fittings tab on 27 September
Manage staff - in a fishery this link opened nothing and only jumped back to the top of the window
Business stock - stock numbers at a business now have thousands separators, and the progress bar that looked like an offline timer is gone

Map

Offshore platforms - clicking your platform on the map opens it like any other business. Before, the oil field marker sat on top of it and only moved the camera. Your own sites now always sit above field markers

Interface

Staff sub-tab - set staff with the plus and minus next to Staff in the Business tab instead
