Just updated experimental and suddenly I can see Hot Air everywhere it occurs, which is pretty ugly and information I mostly don’t want. Is there a way to disable hot air visualization?

I keep having one chatty cathy NPC who bugs me about my larder “almost being empty”, even with 45000 kcal (18 days) reported on the manager screen. Is that less than the NPCs want to be in there?

A nice addition to the game would be the type of suit bomb squads use during removal of UEO, IEDs, or minefields, since gathering explosives in minefields or looting trapped buildings is still very risky.
