Phase 1: Early Access Update
[ 2024-03-26 09:47:24 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hey everyone, Over the past few weeks since launching on early access, we've been working with players to address key areas to improve gameplay. Below are a few of the signficant changes since first release.
- Added ability to have multiple generators connected to the network, including both synchronization mechanic for added generators, generator loading sharing and a 'black start' when all generators fail
- Added more tutorials, including video tutorials to clarify gameplay mechancis
- Added new shortcut including holding Ctrl + clicking to place a pole while drawing conductors, change a load between substations and connect a capacitor bank
- Stats tracking between games/maps
- Improvements with gameplay, UI and performance
- Added subtitles to basic training tutorial video (more to come)
- Modified camera viewing angles to allow 20 degrees to 90 degrees when using a mouse
- Changed sparks and deaths associated with GPR/EPR to occur at same speed regardless of gameplay speed
- Added 'Building count limit' to settings menu, allowing players to limit the number of buildings in a city for better gameplay performance. Once at the limit, new load buildings placed are more likely to be higher wealth buildings (replacing one recently destroyed), allowing the city to still grow
- Upgraded skybox to be more detailed with morning, day, sunset and night materials
- Other minor bug fixes

In Power Network Tycoon, you embark on a journey to establish and manage the power network for a thriving new island community. With an ever-growing demand for electricity, you must strategically plan and construct an efficient and robust power grid to meet the needs of community residents and businesses.
Power management is not just about keeping the lights on; it's about delivering a smooth and stable electricity supply. In Power Network Tycoon, you'll need to monitor and optimize various aspects of power quality, such as power factor and balancing loads between phases. Addressing these factors will improve the reliability of your network and keep your customers satisfied.
As you navigate the intricate world of power system analysis and industry engineering standards, you'll experience the most realistic power network simulation on the market. The game employs advanced physics-based calculations found in industrial electrical design software and challenges you to make decisions that reflect industry best practices.
Mother Nature can throw unexpected challenges your way, but as a resilient Power Network Tycoon, you're always prepared. Devastating storms, heatwaves, and other extreme weather events will put your skills to the test. Reinforce your infrastructure, strengthen power lines, use the weather forecasting systems to mitigate the impact of these natural disasters. Balancing resilience and cost-effectiveness becomes crucial as you strive to keep the lights on during even the harshest conditions.
As the island community flourishes, your expertise as a Power Network Tycoon will be put to the test. You'll have the opportunity to upgrade and expand your network by building new power generators, power lines, substations and capacitor banks.
Ensuring the safety of the community is paramount. As the Power Network Tycoon, you'll be responsible for preventing electrical accidents and protecting your island's residents. Assess earth potential rise under fault conditions, measure electromagnetic field strengths, and upgrade equipment to minimize the risk of electrical overloading. Failure to prioritize safety could lead to unhappy customers, outages, and even death!
With its immersive gameplay and realistic simulations, Power Network Tycoon allows you to harness your engineering skills, showcase your strategic thinking, and prove yourself as the ultimate Power Network Tycoon, shaping the electricity landscape of a vibrant new island community.
