Welcome to yet another entry in the I Am Future devlog. In the previous one, we talked about fish cutting and Cook Mode—features that will help you keep your stomach full. With your basic needs covered, you can now proceed to construct a comfortable post-apocalyptic base.




Structures you can build on your rooftop base are divided into three categories:

1. Production structures include workbenches, biogenerators, campfires, molecular synthesizers, and more. They are meant to produce resources and tools;
   
2. Defensive structures—fences and torches—guard your roof against mutated leeches, weeds, and other pests;
   
3. Auxiliary structures, such as storage, can be built to keep your supplies well-organized.

Some structures run solely on electricity, meaning they need to be connected to generators. The generator uses biomass found on the roof to produce energy. Another electricity-dependent structure is the crypto farm. It provides a special currency, U-coins, that can be used to purchase essential items while exploring the flooded cityscape with a drone. The Resource Printer also needs electricity to work. Printed resources, such as building bridges between roofs, will be useful in late-game construction.

Tending to your base alone in a deserted megalopolis could make you feel lonesome. Worry not, though, future-dweller! The loneliness of the post-apocalypse can be remedied by surrounding yourself with friendly robots. They will help you with the housework while you kick back and enjoy their company.

These adorable steel minions have three roles: Collector, Builder, and Technician.

1. The Collector gathers and stores junk, saving you precious time;
   
2. The Builder retrieves resources from storage and transports them to construction sites, acting as your trusty construction worker;
   
3. The Technician maintains structures that require resources to function. In the future, Technicians will also manage automated irrigation systems and resource printers.

Minions operate on energy and can be recharged at designated charging stations. We made sure their recharging feels as relaxing as humanly robotically possible!



The cuties have automatic and manual modes, allowing them to choose objects to work with or follow your specific instructions. Additionally, you can customize their colors and adorn them with cool-looking hats.


To create these mechanized helpers, you need to find programmable cores. It can be done during expeditions or through side quests.

Welcome to yet another entry in the I Am Future devlog. In the previous one, we talked about the 🎣fishing mechanic. Now that you’ve caught a fish, it’s time to cook it! Put on your chef's hat, future-dweller!

Caution! Don’t read this devlog further if you are hungry.

The ability to cut fish has been implemented to make marine dwellers a valuable resource in our game. Each type of fish provides a slightly different loot, offering a diverse range of rewards. Some species yield a generous amount of fillets, providing a significant source of sustenance. On the other hand, more exotic types offer the prized delicacy of caviar. Certain gilled denizens even provide resources essential for crafting. This allows players to strategically target specific fish based on their needs and preferences.

But that's not all, future-dwellers! Engaging in the art of fish cutting may lead to surprises. Occasionally, you may come across ❓unique items that the fish has swallowed in the past. Who knows what hidden treasures await within the belly of a subaqueous being? Keep your eyes peeled for these valuable discoveries as you operate your kitchen knife.

Oh, and one more thing. For those wondering what that "Field Kitchen" thing in the screenshot above is: upgrading your campfire turns it into a legit wood stove!


[hr][/hr]
Now that you know a thing or two about preparing food for consumption, how about we delve deeper into that? Living in the post-apocalypse requires decent cooking skills, and that’s exactly what we will talk about next.

Cook Mode is a feature that will allow you to cook wholesome food to keep your stomach full. We're envisioning it to be a creative and delightful experience, allowing combining ingredients to discover new recipes. Initially, you'll be able to mix only two types of ingredients. However, as you upgrade your field kitchen, an additional dish slot will unlock.

We want recipes to be simple and intuitive. For example, you can transform blueberries into delicious jam and then prepare a fresh bun to pair with it. Similarly, combining fish fillets with water creates a flavourful bowl of fish soup. As you unlock new ingredients, you will be able to combine them with the old ones to access even more tantalizing cooking formulas. Once a recipe is discovered, you can cook it using the campfire.

We plan on adding around 20 different dishes on release.
