Version 3.1.8 What's New: - Fixed a crash that could occur when opening shipment routes on the world map. - Improved map stability when factory or point-of-sale locations have invalid coordinates. - Industry specialization now also grows when you produce materials; selling them on the Black Market still increases it more.
