Update: v0.5.0

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello,

With this update, more resource types and mechanics are added. You have more control over the late game. And, overall game difficulty is easier now.

The most notable changes are:

  • Mining feature; Removed "Material Industry" and added "Mine" instead. Now there are new types of building material resources; "Stone", "Coal" and "Cement". Mines extract natural resources that can be seen using the "Biome and Natural Resources" view mode. Natural resources are limited, when all resources are extracted, mines shut down. Also, you should keep in mind, mines cannot be demolished.
  • Seaport; Added new zone type - Seaport, and added a new UI panel to manage seaports. Seaports can only be built adjacent to the sea. You can trade any resources/products using seaports.
  • New management panel - "Manage Workers". You can limit or shut down an industry.
  • New management panel - "Manage Buildings". You can allow or avoid new buildings to be built over any zone type. So you can save or manage building materials. Also, It makes managing employment and population easier.
  • Tier system is removed. It was unnecessarily complicating the management. Now all kinds of people are able to work at any workplace.

All details are below.

Thank you for your support and playing early access!
Have fun!
