Hello,
This is another update that changes the feel of the game.
The most notable changes are;
- Building demand system is removed. In early versions, buildings are formed regarding to the demand. Now player has more control over buildings. If there is enough building material for the building, it starts to be constructed immediately. Now player is more responsible which building should be built or not.
- Added construction stage to the buildings. Now buildings do not pop up immediately. They are constructed over time. Some buildings are fast, some are slow.
- Added new manufacture zone type and processed food product type. Manufacturers produce processed food using agricultural food. And processed food is consumed by people who living in apartments.
Thank you for your support and playing early access!
Have fun!
