UPDATE 049: Current Demo Baseline
Last checked: · UPDATE 049
Direct answer
UPDATE 049 announces the September Demo and October 28, 2026 full-release date, then documents new equipment capabilities, inventory controls, balance adjustments and fixes. It is the current major public baseline found in the September 26 review, not a claim that no smaller revision exists.
Changes that affect everyday play
Toolbox provides number-key tool selection and appears at Dr. Jackson after day 14. Bottle Printer gains electronic-part upgrades; Vacuum Robot gains an incinerator with doubled power while enabled. Multi-selection, sorting, item rotation and Save Discovery change common interaction workflows.

Read fixes as dated evidence
The update addresses phone state, vendor stock, inventory windows, Security outcomes and non-16:9 interfaces. Use those named areas to build a reproduction report if a symptom persists. A fix note does not prove a particular user's current save has no similar problem, and old Playtest behavior should not override this baseline.
