Hello Mayors!
The Patch Notes for version 1.3.3f1 cover a boatload of fixes, including (but not limited to) a lot of Cargo fixes, balancing, and how you interact and view the game. It also includes the new free content, which features three new Piers, two new Quays, and two new Bridges, providing you with numerous new ways to transport and move people, cars, and trains around your city.
We have also shared a Developer Diary about the taste of what Bridges & Ports has to offer, which you can read here.
Known issues:
- While the issue causing commercial buildings to store more resources than their storage capacity has been fixed, commercial buildings that already have more resources stored will not have their storage adjusted. The storage will be reduced as their resources are consumed until they are below their maximum capacity. Once below that threshold, they will respect that limit when purchasing new resources.
- Office company workers can drop to the minimum amount because too few resources are produced by the companies are consumed.
New Free Content:
- 3 New Piers
- Narrow Wooden Leisure Pier
- Medium Wooden Leisure Pier
- Wide Wooden Leisure Pier
- 2 New Quays
- 2 quays with driving lanes.
- 2 pedestrian quays.

If you use community-made content in your game, this patch makes many changes to the game, and as with many patches in the past, mods will have to be updated to work with this new version.
- Do you play without custom community content? If you play without any custom community content, you are good to go at the time of release!
- Do you play with custom community content? If you use mods, there may be issues if you try to launch the game at the time of release. This is because some mods you rely on may be broken, resulting in the game being altered/glitched/broken.
Here's a quick Patch Day 101;
- Everyone receives the new patch.
- Because new features and code changes are introduced into the base game, mod creators may have to implement their code in a new or different way.
- Many mod creators have been given early access and have been able to work on their mods ahead of time, but these might not be able to update immediately.
- Please be patient. Everyone has a personal life and might be unable to update a game mod immediately at launch. Do not bug creators to update their mod, they will get to it as soon as they are able.
- If you want to play the game without mods while you wait for mods to be patched, you can temporarily add
--disableModdingto the game's Steam launch options to disable all community-made content. - However, remember that some save files will not load if some critical mods aren't enabled; in this case, you will need to wait for them to update.
