Nothing they can do about it. Java doesn't handle large values well to say the least. If you want a quick laugh stockpile about 2000 cigarettes and transfer them to a container and and watch the game almost crash lol. My advice is either A: don't go to the prison B: play with normal populations or even lower than normal but make the zeds superhuman and sprinters for a tough challenge or C: just deal with it lol. Devs have said it will never run well with high zed populations. Maybe that will change but not in the forseeable future. Your rig is better than mine and I don't lag with lower populations unless I am driving fast through multiple cells where hundreds of zeds are loading and unloading. Prison gets slight hang ups with normal populations but acceptable. Same with the mall. Everything else is good.

Try it with intermittent lines of trees. I think that is how Park Ranger gets to move faster. No break in tree line means both are stuck in the animation so no bonus? I could be wrong but maybe someone can look at the values for the animations for moving through trees and see if the Park Ranger gets a buff?

Not sure I agree with the welding mask change. Having a family member and a friend who weld IRL, if you are welding on a building site you have a hard hat on and a welding mask. There are even unique style hard hats that sit higher on the head or clip onto the welding mask that look like one piece of PPE. Everything else looks great in the patch. I found a bug that with the large garbage cans in PizzaWhirlled. They do not have the "delete all" tab pop up when items are put into them and I do like using them as garbage cans on larger bases because they hold 50 units compared to most bins 10-20 units. The other garbage cans work as intended with this feature as far as I can tell.
