People at the Nordic Base, and bugs found by reading

The Nordic Base now has a crew of four with their first jobs, and the game has fifteen trophies. None of it has run yet, but two read-through reviews already caught three real bugs.

A crew for the base

The pyramid at the Nordic Base now has four people living in it: the Foreman, the Cook, the Radio Tech and the Diver Trainer. Their first three jobs are in. Restore the base power with a fuse from the workshop's parts crate, and the lamps rise from a dim emergency glow. Fix the submarine's mooring clamp. Find out who is calling on the radio. The game also has fifteen trophies.

Reviewing code that has not run

Unity has not compiled any of this yet, so two read-through reviews went over every change instead. They found no compile errors and three real bugs:

BugResult
A frozen player after a trip to bedThe player stops responding
Towers drawn twice as tallThe skyline is wrong
A dim sky that never recoveredThe sky stays dim

All three are fixed. They are the kind of mistake that normally only shows up in play, and a careful read caught them first.
