Cities: Skylines receives another update today. As well as adding 30 new buildings and pedestrian tunnels for free, the update will also serve as a patch to fix quite a few annoying bugs. The new Cities: Skylines patch will also improve the auto-save feature and fix a few issues relating to mods.

Paradox released a full list of the patch details on their website, but here’s the rundown:

• 30 free new buildings will be added. They will grow automatically.
• Pedestrian paths can now be built underground with tunnels, also for free.
• An auto-save option has been added, also for free. (Actually, everything on this list is free, so I’m going to stop saying everything’s free.)
• An “unsubscribe all” button has been added for mods, which should help over the next few days while mod developers adjust to the update.
• De-zoned areas should no longer re-zone themselves.
• Trains should no longer get stuck on the border of the map, though Paradox notes this fix may take a few minutes to kick in on old saves.
• There’s a new option panel layout.
• Improved error handling for mods when they do “onholy operations”, whatever that means.

Cities: Skylines is a mod-intense game, but as with any update, mods may suffer for the first few days. Paradox offered a solution:

“Due to some improvements with how mod-specific options are displayed in-game a fair amount of popular mods will be incompatible with 1.1.1b. We recommend using the steam launch options “-disableMods” and “-noWorkshop” until the mod creators have done the necessary, albeit very small, changes. More info on what needs to be done by our modders can be found here.”

Back in May, Cities: Skylines got another free update that added European-style maps and buildings to the game. It was also the first update to add tunnels to the game, which was apparently one of the most requested features.

Here’s the full list of the smaller fixes to come with this patch:

 

• Graphics: visual glitches with pavement on steep slopes fixed
• Fixed polish UI audio volume not fitting the Options panel
• Fixed the keymapping in all languages not fitting to fit on 2 lines
• Fixed missing info tooltips for markers (smoke, large smoke, info tooltip shot, invisible parking space and steam)
• Fixed the “-noWorkshop” toggle to completely disable the Steam workshop integration
• Fixed mouse wheel to scroll the build toolbar
• Added shutter sound to snapshots in map editor
• Fixed left and right mouse button references in all languages
• Ability to reset keybindings to default without losing all other settings
• Installing multiple workshop items at once should not freeze the game anymore
• Dedicated options space for mod settings (IUserMod.OnSettingsUI(), added checkbox, button, slider and dropdown support) – http://www.skylineswiki.com/Mod_Options_Panel
• Asset editor: Added new thumbshot and infoshot tools for capturing thumbnail and infotooltip images, respectively
• Asset editor: Automatic snapshot, thumbshot, and infoshot are taken when opening the save panel for an asset (unless the user already took them)

• Asset editor: Trailer and LOD colors show correctly in the editor when editing color variations
• Asset editor: Removed color variation property from trees since it is not used by the game

• Asset editor: Fixed additional polygons sometimes appearing in the models when scaling and/or rotating models
• Asset editor: Scaling the model larger no longer makes it vanish from the preview camera
• Asset editor: Overriding only some of the lod textures (e.g. assetname_lod_d) now works again without having to override any of the others
