Update 1.1.0 New logistics and visual design

[p]A key new feature is a fully-fledged logistics and transportation system: now, residents physically transport goods from production facilities to warehouses using carts. The efficiency of your economy directly depends on the well-thought-out placement of buildings and road congestion.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]All production chains have been rebalanced to accommodate the new mechanics. The update also includes a new visual style, improved time-of-day effects, new music, a streamlined construction system, and significant performance optimizations.[/p][p]See the full list of changes and technical fixes below.[/p][h3]Main changes:[/h3]
  • [p]New game mechanics:[/p]
    • [p]Logistics. The distance between production and warehouses now affects delivery speed. Place buildings closer together for efficient operations.[/p]
    • [p]Congestion. If too many carts are sent to one warehouse, they will move more slowly due to queues.[/p]
    • [p]Carts. Villagers are no longer just decorations—they now operate carts and are responsible for delivering resources.[/p]
    • [p]Building Entrances. Each building now has a dedicated entrance (marked with a green triangle), which requires a road to be built.[/p]
    • [p]Automatic recipe. A newly constructed building will immediately select the recipe available for production.[/p]
    • [p]You can schedule construction even if you don't have the resources. Once the necessary materials are in stock, the phased construction will continue automatically.[/p]
    • [p]Speed Control. Added flexible game speed settings from 0.5x to 3x.[/p]

  • [p]Other:[/p]
    • [p]All production chains have been rebalanced to take into account the new logistics.[/p]
    • [p]Optimizations have been made to reduce processor load to improve performance.[/p]
[p][/p][p]The update adds a new strategic layer to the game, forcing you to think about road and warehouse layout. Your residents are no longer just decoration, but a vital part of the economy![/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for your support and interesting ideas. Enjoy the game![/p]
