v0.66.17 - Pipes, Big Hands buff, School & trait fixes
Pipes have been added to improve early game automation!
Based on your feedback, I decided to test out the concept of pipes and let you all try it. I'm still working on improving the game in general and I hope this will make early game a little more fun. I've also added it for a late game building too so it can also improve automation to benefit later players.

Hotfix - v0.66.12 (AI workarounds, Rest buff, new crane upgrade)
Hi all, just to update on the reported issues of underwater settlers getting stuck, I have pushed out a temporary hotfix.
If a settler gets stuck, I attempt to detect the 'stuck' scenarios and "teleport" these stuck characters to where they are trying to go. This may cause some unusual behaviour, but I hope it will be an improvement to the current situation, and at least address the major concerns until I am able to properly dive into the details and investigate the causes.
This might still not solve the issues for everyone, in which case do let me know or send me your savefile which will help me dive into the issue more closely.
Am sorry all for the inconvenience caused!
Gameplay Improvements/Balancing: - Rest now depletes about 20% slower - The Caffeine research is now repeatable and can be performed 3 times to further reduce rest depletion - Added a new upgrade path for cranes to let them turn in 8 directions - Parrots no longer lose hunger if they are idle - Two new objectives have been added after water tanks - World Settings: Building speed can now be increased to 300% (old: 200%) - World Settings: Building cost can now be increased to 2000% (old: 200%) - Storage boxes now have colours to indicate their levels in daytime - Reduced blue selection box glow intensity - Mechanical Bull building now correctly costs a mechanical bull item

Bug Fixes - If characters get stuck trying to find a sleeping rock due to pathfinding issue, for now they get teleported instantly to the rock. This is a temporary fix until the AI pathing can be looked into properly. Thus, you may notice characters teleporting to the rock when they are sleepy especially when underwater. - Possibly fixed a separate AI stuck underwater critical bug caused by trying to go to a building directly above them but instead went to its underwater position The temporary fix is to teleport them up to the building directly above. Thus, you may notice characters teleporting especially when trying to meet needs. - Fixed an issue where parrots would get stuck if delivering to/from buildings on the second floor - Fixed potential issue when settlers got stuck at bars - Fixed an issue where the Caffeine research effects did not apply as intended - You can now sort characters by their state alphabetically - Fixed 'More Cranes' research description not showing numbers - Repeatable research now has an additional text to mention they are repeatable. - Plant decks have been optimized - Fixed translation errors with Chicken Feed dialog with peacock raft - Translated photo mode slider and instruction texts

Balancing: - Vegetable objective now requires 1 Vegetable instead of 2
Hotfix - v0.66.10
A few more hotfixes were made. I've grouped them here together in a single post. If you experienced buildings not costing anything or costing too many resources, this should be fixed on the latest update. Please continue to let me know if you face issues.
