Devlog #2 - Assembly Station

Dear Manufacturers

We would like to wish you all the best in 2020!
Let's hit the new year with the comeback of DevLog series!

[h2]Assembly Station[/h2]
Assembly Station is the type of area that allow us to manufacture cars in the factory.

[h3]Build Requirements[/h3]
Other than money, we need to keep in mind that Assembly Station can be placed only inside Building. This way we can provide the necessary power and security for the area.



[h3]Blueprint[/h3]
Found your place? Great!
Now it is time to decide what kind of car we want to make in our station.
For that purpose we use Blueprints. Think of those like recipes. Each blueprint contains a list of steps and resources that we need to perform and provide in order to successfully assemble our vehicle.

[h3]Objects[/h3]
Bounds of the Assembly Station area define where we can place various types of objects.
Decorations are nice looking but you will also need functional items.
The most important are lockers that allow a higher number of workers to labour simultaneously in this station. Other objects can also provide stats boosts and facilitation making our production go faster, easier and safer.

[h3]Start Production[/h3]
Once we are done with all the necessary steps, we are free to start the production phase!



[h3]Expansion[/h3]
Didn't you think you will be limited to the single station production?
You can connect a few Assembly Stations with each other to make one big Assembly Line.
But more on that later.

Devlog #1 - Build your factory!



Hey, future car business owners. We want to give you some insight into our development process and design choices. Because of that, we are starting the devlog series.

First of all, we want to thank you all for a huge survey response. All of your suggestions are really helpful.

Those last few months were really busy for us. We constantly reevaluate our ideas to meet your expectations but at the same time, we really want to surprise you with something freshly new.


Let's start our first devlog with a look at an in-game editor, shall we?

Edit Mode
It's that easy to switch between play and edit modes. Here you can feel like an architect. You have complete freedom of designing, building and decorating your factory.



Building
Create your buildings in any way you want. Place new segments, drag your walls. But please don't let us down creating some inappropriate shapes (we might have already tried a few ːsteamhappyː)



Assembly Station
One of the most important structures on your plant. This is where all the magic happens. Your site will contain a lot of those, each with a different step of assembling your car.



Storage
It's obvious that we need resources in order to build a car. That's where the storages come in. Place them inside, outside. Link those as an input or output for other structures.



Pimp my plant
Decorate your building with a variety of objects.



Coming up
We have something extra too, here is a little sneak peek of our other upcoming features.



Feedback
What do you think so far?
We really encourage you to discuss on our steam community forum and our discord linked here:
