Hey friends!

I'm writing up a quick dev log early this week because I'll be away visiting some family tomorrow and over the weekend.

I also wanted to show off the new game cover created by the talented Chris Lewis Lee[www.chrislewislee.com]:



Pretty cool, huh!

This last week I've been cleaning up bugs as well as polishing stuff from the last few weeks of code re-writes. Lots of updates on tooltips and trying to make them clearer.

Hey folks!

Real quick update today. I'm still working on zone priorities. I'm adding two options for editing the priority of zones:
-Zone fill priority - Determines which zones gets filled first
-Zone withdraw priority - Determines which zones get used first for picking up items

This functionality works exactly the same way as job priority settings:


Hoping to finish that up early next week. Thanks and have a fantastic weekend! :)

Happy Friday all!

I've been working hard on finishing up a lot of the world/core system improvements. The rendering stuff I had been updating last week is pretty much good to go. When I had finished up the last of the main changes for that and seeing as I was already neck-deep in core code, I was inspired to jump onto some other things which I had been putting off in that realm. I figure that since I've been making my bed, I might as well clean the whole damn room. ;) These are largely QoL improvements related to blueprints and building and I think they reduce player headaches.

Here are some examples:

-Blueprints now act as holograms on top of a block. This means that they won't clear out previous blocks until they are built and IF the thing which was built needs to replace the previous block. For example, a floor blueprint won't clear out a zone which had been there.
-You can now mix floor and prop blueprints. Before, you had to place the floor blueprint... Read more

Hey friends!

I'm still alive! I just wanted to give you a quick update so you don't feel like I've abandoned you.

I've been super busy fixing and re-writing a lot of world and rendering tech I wrote early in development. Since the beginning of early access a lot of bugs and minor issues or roadblocks popup from these systems, so it was passed time for me to clean it up. Unfortunately, this means nothing in terms of new content or features. However, with these systems written properly, I'll be able to implement things much easier and with fewer bugs going forward.

One example of rendering improvements is how I treat blueprints. Before, a blueprint would completely replace a previous block but create a facsimile of what was there. With the newer rendering system, I'm able to display two blocks occupying the same space. i.e., A dirt wall blueprint placed over a stack of wood logs.
