### Full game and demo

- Autumn Festival decorations are here: a Cornucopia Table and Hay Bales your guests can actually sit on, a park bench with a back, and a leafy Autumn Leaf Pathway path style.

- Trees and buildings now shelter the wind. A forest takes most of the bite out of a gust, and the lee of a lodge or lift station stays calmer, which guests, lift wind holds and drifting snow all notice.

- Low, damp valley floors near streams now grow wet meadow, and the generated forest thins out there. You can still plant trees on it if you like.

- On Steam Deck and controllers, every text field brings up the on-screen keyboard, and prompts say "select" and "press" instead of asking you to click.

- Text size in Accessibility is now UI scale (75 to 125%), so panels, icons and text all grow together instead of the words spilling out of their boxes. Small text across the HUD and menus is a touch bigger too.

- The Resolution setting now shows on Steam Deck, for anyone playing docked on a bigger screen.

- New notification bell on the top bar. Toasts line up one after another, and the bell keeps a log of today's alerts in case one slipped past while you were busy.

- Trail ratings gain a French & Nordic style (green, blue, red, black). The old European style is now called Alpine.

- The follow camera zooms toward whoever you're following, not wherever the cursor happens to be.

- Snowblower sliders snap to whole units and have -/+ buttons, so every target base is reachable.

- Guests start skiing as soon as they step onto a trail's drawn width, instead of trudging to some exact spot first.

- Skiers in bowls are much better at finding the trail out. A trail that only grazes a bowl's wall no longer counts as an exit, and a bowl with no real way out now shows the dead-end warning.

- A trail the map marks as unusable now tells you why on its Edit tab too.

- Placing a fence next to a stand works again. Its confirm used to refuse for no visible reason, and now it only says no when a door would actually be cut off.

- Staff are smarter about getting around: they'll walk when it's quicker than riding, pick a better hub to ski down to, and stroll past a lift that's holding for wind or cold rather than waiting in line for it.

- Fixed a mechanic who would keep "repairing" a lift forever after you cancelled the repair.

- Groomers no longer get sent out a second time if you reload before the lifts open.

- Fixed saves sometimes loading with almost no snow on the mountain.

- Fixed a manual save made during an autosave claiming "Saved" without writing its own file.

- A save made on the bankruptcy card loads back onto it, and revenue totals no longer drift after a reload.

- Painting trees with a held brush is much smoother on big resorts, and the whole simulation runs a bit faster with lots of guests on the hill.

- Fixed a few rare crashes and freezes while building, editing paths and opening panels.

- Crash reporting only starts once you've agreed to it. Steam friend names for your staff are now off by default, and bug-report saves have friend names removed.

### Full game only

- New building: the Ski Tuning Shack.

- Pu'u Wekiu is unlocked, and its slopes now look the part: volcanic cinder, with redder cones and grayer flats.

- The "first hotel" goal now waits until lodging unlocks, and any place to stay counts, Cabins included.

- The night ticket slider now tops out according to how much of the mountain is lit.

- Long lifts keep getting pricier per tower instead of hitting a cap.

- Emerald Spire's base no longer drops to Arctic temperatures during a polar vortex.

- Fixed Steam achievements that could be missed if they unlocked before your stats loaded.

### Demo only

- The main menu's Wishlist on Steam button now shows only in the demo.
