LOGistICAL: Earth News

LOGistICAL 3: Earth brings more FREE content with India, South East Asia, Southern Africa, a Thailand rail depot, many Pacific Islands + more.
Its a large amount of content and there are updated tools to make it easier.

Note: New content for LOGistICAL 3: Earth will always be FREE.



Multi-nav is a gizmo that you can buy for all your vehicles.
With a multi-nav gizmo installed you can queue your vehicles destinations up and complete many quickly.

There is also way to make multi-nav go even further.
This is best done with lots of trucks at once, but can also be done with a single truck.

Once a multi-nav process has completed and all the trucks are empty, and you still have a bunch of towns/businesses still in the multi-nav queue, you can continue the process by:

- Select a truck or group of trucks that each have a multi-nav gizmo
- Drag from an industry output on a town popup to start multi-nav town/bus selection
- Click on many towns/bus until you have over 100% on the drag amount (but don't click on any towns/bus that are too high eg. 200t).
- I usually get mine up to about 200%-400%.
- Click the "Done" to set the trucks off.
- They finish and the extra towns/bus of the multi-nav are still highlighted.
- Next, click on the "destination" (the lower one) of one of those trucks in the truck list.
- Drag from the town popups same resource that was used, to the source industry on the map.
- The trucks go to that source town, back to the destination and then continue to follow the multi-nav path.

Note: You don't have to use the same source location as the original multi-nav setup.
Note: This works on large businesses as well, but it is best on many small businesses.
Note: To purchase a multi-nav gizmo from any depot, you firstly have to complete regions.

PS. It is getting close to having the full map complete now, so if you have been putting it off, it may be a good time to start as there is a lot to catch up on.

LOGistICAL: Vaccine is now available to all LOGistICAL 3: Earth owners.
LOGistICAL: Vaccine will soon be available to all other LOGistICAL owners (subscribe to the forum to get updates).



LOGistICAL 3: Vaccine (Xmas 2020) is Sacada's 2020 gift to all LOGistICAL owners.

Its 2020 and the Earth is sick... very sick... and vaccines are almost ready. Vaccines will require transport throughout the entire world, and LOGistICAL is a great place to practice on.

Beginning with the 9 WHO vaccine companies (plus Russia) you are to distribute the vaccine to all the regional and local distribution centres in every country around the world.
Of course it isn't that easy. You will also have to transport ingredients into the vaccine centres to make the vaccine, and also upgrade the vaccine industries, and then transport inputs to those industries and upgrades for them as well, and then for those inputs as well... etc, etc. You know how it is.

Oh, and lots of the vaccines require a lot of refrigeration, so you will have to transport to construct that as well as deliver them to many distribution centres.

LOGistICAL: Vaccine is a small (large) LOGistICAL game with over 5,000 businesses that each are all quite small (generally less than 50t requirement), and they are all businesses.

Here is a summary:
- 5,000+ smallish businesses to complete
- All roads are visible
- No roads require repair nor upgrade
- No consumption
- No industry building
- Some quarantines, but not a large quantity of them
- Large trucks can drive anywhere (except ferry routes)
- Unlimited quantity of each vehicles types
- 100+ vehicles allowed
- Multi-Route and Multi-Truck navigation is support
- All the LOGistICAL: Earth functionality
- Fully rendered maps.

Start the game by delivering vaccines to the nearest places to establish your finances. Work your way across the planet.
Don't try to upgrade things straight away. You may find that fairly difficult and therefore frustrating.

As LOGistICAL: Vaccine is based on the LOGistICAL 3 framework, it will firstly be available to all LOGistICAL: Earth owners and follow later to the other LOGistICAL owners.



New areas to play in LOGistICAL 3: Earth include:
- the United Kingdom, Ireland and Isle of Man,
- Rail in Southern Africa,

[h2]LOGistICAL 3: Launcher[/h2]
Due to L3 now having two modules to play, there is an L3 launcher.
Start the game and select to play either L:Earth, L:Vaccine or both at once.

There is still an issue with maximising the games.
A workaround is to drag the game's top Windows task bar to the top of the screen.


PS. If you want any more LOGistICAL modules, you may catch the last day of the Steam Autumn sale (ends 2 Dec 2020).


Enjoy,

Sacada.

All LOGistICAL modules are now on sale (until Dec 02)

50% off LOGistICAL 1 modules
40% off LOGistICAL 2 modules
20% off LOGistICAL 3: Earth module.

For those new to LOGistICAL, there is also a bunch of freebies you can try out on, including a LOGistICAL 3: Earth demo game.

... anyway enough of that... what about the free gift.
