Big Ambitions EA 0.8 Preview Build 3003 Fixes UI and Collision Bugs

Big Ambitions preview build 3003 fixes scheduler workstation errors, character creator UI glitches, and collider issues near Pier 4.

Hovgaard Games released preview build 3003 for Big Ambitions Early Access 0.8, tackling several persistent bugs involving the scheduler UI, logistics messages, and building collisions.

Scheduler and UI Corrections

Incorrect workstations no longer appear randomly inside the scheduler. UI elements in the character creator now close properly between menus. Delivery driver hour display issues and duplicated items in logistics alert messages are resolved. Clothing items now display correct colors, and the apron uniform no longer overlaps other clothes.

Environment and Gameplay Fixes

Players passing out from exhaustion in buildings with active cleaner employees no longer experience movement issues. The collision boundary near Pier 4 has been adjusted to prevent players from falling through the railing into the water. Drivable entrances to the harbor area are now accessible for walking, and cabinet colliders are resized to allow placement 90 degrees apart from each other.

Known Issues and Workarounds

Developers noted two rare bugs requiring workarounds. If player UI disappears while holding an item, or if characters get stuck holding a mop or flatbed cart after interacting with vehicles and stations, players should submit a bug report, save, and reload the game to reset the interaction state.

Why this patch matters

Build 3003 cleans up quality-of-life snags in the EA 0.8 branch while developers monitor lingering item-interaction bugs.
