Progress Update (Patreon)

Hi there, raycoms speaking.

We will now be more active around here and I want to give you guys a short overview about what we were working on in the last months and what you're going to be able to look forward to.

As you probably mentioned we added some features like the new Barracks building or the copy/paste functionality for the build tool.

Additionally, we have spent quite a bit of work reworking the hunger system (including a new worker the cook).

And adding a complete set of animal farmers(Pigs, Cows, Sheep, Chicken).

All those 5 new workers are only missing the last bits and pieces and all patreons are invited to contact us on discord to test them out already.

The new Hunger system will be a lot more realistic.

- Worker won't dump all their food in their working chests anymore.
- Worker will pickup food from their workers chests.
- If workers are starving they will search the restaurant to get food.
- The cook worker will prepare this food and serve it to the workers.
(If no restaurant is available in the colony, the player has to do that part).

We wanted to decouple the deliveryman from this system to avoid him being the bottleneck of the whole system and your workers not getting fed.


About the deliveryman. We're currently working extremely hard on a new backend system called "Request system".

This will result in a complete rework of the current requesting system and allow several things like the builder requesting all necessary resources on building start etc.
Additionally, we will be building our crafting system on top of that.

Currently, we have a build where workers are able to execute simple 2x2 recipes the player taught them.

We will build our crafting system on top of that which will allow us, as soon as the request system is ready, to build a good set of crafting workers very fast.

Until now, happy playing, I will tell you about what we're up to in the next days again.
