Final Profit 1.2.2 Update Available now!

Ahoy! And welcome to 1.2.2! Like always, there's more here than I originally intended. There's some big new things. Also, while working on the update the community discovered an interesting exploit that let them clip through certain events, allowing for a lot of sequence breaking. I've added a bunch of easter eggs for some of the interactions they found while doing so, and some fixes to prevent soft locks to open up speedrunning potential. On to the features!

[h3]Introducing the Coin Laundry![/h3]
A new section of The Capital has opened up, revealing a Coin Laundry where you can compress your Economic Incentive Tokens into a series of compact tiers! With the help of Elora, track down who you need to repair each machine and unlock a new tier of compression. Tied into the new story revolving around the shady organisation known as The Under, trade your compressed tokens for a bunch of new stuff! Or spend them on oodles of Passive Income. But what could be lurking beneath The Under..?



[h3]Fill out the new Shop Cosmetic Museum![/h3]
A wealthy local in Enterpriston has opened her warehouse for your use, fill it up with all your shop cosmetics, which now all carry over into NG+! But what about duplicates? When you unlock a cosmetic you already have you'll get to choose from a selection of neat rewards!




[h3]Travel in... Style?[/h3]
Traffic has been added to The Capital, they can be a bit of a hazard so watch your step! But Lady Plenty has been working on a new project and needs your help to get the local bus network up and running. Once that's done you'll be able to fast travel around The Capital! But the Oil Barons aren't gonna like that...
