   <li><b>Erro updated:</b>
   <ul>
 	<li>Examining humans now works a bit differently. Some external suits and helmets can hide certain pieces of clothing so you don't see them when examining. Glasses are also now displayed when examining.</li>
+	<li>The job selection screen has been changed a little to hopefully make making changes there easier.</li>
