Freelancers!

I have a quick PSA for you.

Thanks to the help of @Decker_Miles, I have a work-around for a crash caused by old saves. The crash happens when you try to enter the equipment menu for Steel.

THIS ONLY APPLIES TO YOU IF YOU HAVE STEEL IN YOUR GROUP AS A COMPANION IN AN EXISTING SAVE FROM BEFORE TODAY'S (2/6/26) UPDATE!!!

Steps:
1: Load your save with Steel as a companion
2: (VERY IMPORTANT) Edit your squad and remove him from the group temporarily
3: (VERY IMPORTANT) SLEEP & SAVE or SAVE at a CAMPFIRE - SAVING FROM THE MENU WILL NOT FIX THIS
4: Load the new (updated) save
5: Add him back to your squad
6: Attempt to open the equipment screen with him selected (It should be fixed)
7: (OPTIONAL) Re-equip whatever he previously had equipped on him

That should resync everything.

Thank you for reading!

Attention, freelancers!

Here's a quick update for the game. Mainly to fix a crash with Steel's equipment screen. There's also a little bit of new stuff - paving the way for what's next.

*Please note that these changes are not in any particular order.*

[h2]BETA Update 1.97.0 Change Log:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

FIXED an interface issue related to Steel's equip slots when trying to optimized equipment (He has to have a few slots added to the interface to prevent a whole rewrite - the extra slots are locked and cannot be modified but solve multiple problems based on past work when adding in the drones and all of their subsystems - he now has a few "dummy" slots listed that are shared amongst all classes, but his were hidden)
-FIXED one of Splicer's dialogues having a broken loop


Changes & Additions:

Added a bunch of new environmental assets to the tilesets (Technically, they were already in the files but they were not 100% usable how they currently were - Hospital/medical themed)
Added Canal-Side Clinic area (This area will be expanded further VERY soon --- It's in Central Canal Crossing)
Added a new doctor/med item trader ^
Updated several dialogues with unique NPCs with new lore (Especially related to locations)
Updated lighting entities in a few areas (Removed some lights in a few spots and replaced them with shadows to give more of a "moody" feeling)
Added some new unique NPC graphics (Sprites and faces)
Updated map zones list for the world map current zone system
Updated some shop lists
Some other misc tweaks and adjustments

Please let me know of any bugs or issues you encounter so I can fix them. This update will be available for download shortly.
