Hey everyone.
This patch adds a lot of bug fixes and tweaks. Have spent a lot of time rewriting the current task and priority system for the workers, so that it works flawless when switching between different tasks, without any hiccups or bugs. Most of the changes arent really noticable yet, as its mostly optimizations to the current system, but in the long run it will feel nicer to play.
Basically i have been working on streamlining the flow for workers, so its easier for them to navigate the world and assist the player. Most of whats left to do is to add content and make the game more presentable so it doesnt look like a rough prototype :) all the fun stuff.
The game will be heavily focused on automation and having workers do the work for you, so you can do other stuff :) they will do stuff like building, crafting, harvesting, hunting, farming, mining, chopping wood, putting items in storages etc.
Anyways it will probably take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a month to have something that is playable.
Patch notes:
New additions:
Woodchopper camp: Added a woodchopper camp that the player can place down that works as a central for chopping wood. Can place it near a forest and workers will chop wood around there.
Mining camp: Added a mining camp that does the same as woodchopper camp. Place it down and the worker till find nearest veins.
Hunting: Added bow and arrow for the player, so now the player can go hunting. Craft a bow, equip it and go hunt.
Merchants: Added merchants so now you can buy and sell items.
Hire Workers: Had this feature removed, but reintroduced it, so now you can hire a worker before they will work for you. Once you hire them they will go out and find tasks to do depending on the priority you give them.
Building: Player can now place down buildings by pressing "B" to open the menu, then select a building and place it in the world. The worker will try to gather materials and start building.
Building: Player can also build. Equip a hammer and go to a building thats in construction mode, hold down mouse1 and start building.
