Hello, I've set version 0.27 live. Changelog: New stuff - Botanical garden - Pub - Changed third campaign level to be less tricky camera-wise. - Rotating buildings/blocks/roads when placing them moved to shift + scroll wheel. - Added option to make zoom move towards mousepointer (if on a building or similar). Allows for movement to follow mouse pointer. - Added new camera tutorial. - Additional decorations added. Bug fixes - Destroying vactracks was bugged - fixed! - Fixed vactrack 0.5 piece not saving properly. - Tooltips for super absorbent and preschool fixed! - Fixed 1/4th blocks not appearing when built - Spacer block was bugged out - now fixed! - Buildings falling apart when destroyed was accidentally removed. Reimplemented. - Fixed status display showing missing power and water when only very little is missing. For lots, missing is displayed at 10%, otherwise when 80% or more is missing. - Fixed notice of missing atmoport showing under incorrect conditions. - Fixed issue where cars would not be deregistered when a building grows (causing massive amounts of cars). Tweaks - Moved particles to culled layer, so they won't draw at long distances. - Updated tree shader. - Tweaked camera follow when placing roads etc. - Rebalanced food demands (generally less cereal and legume required). Main focus of this update was controls. The old camera anchoring movement mode has been removed. It has been replaced with a go-to movement that automatically pans the camera towards a buildings. Accessed via shift + left/right mouse button (depending on whether you want to open the building info panel or not).
You can now also enable an automatic targetting mode when the scrollwheel is set to zooming. When enabled, moving the pointer over a building or blocks while scrolling will reposition the camera so that it zooms in on the building. Because this adds more functions on the scroll wheel, rotating buildings/roads when placing them has been moved to shift + scrollwheel.
These new movement options are also now included in a new movement tutorial. The new tutorial incorporates the different modes of movement so that a player can try them out and directly set what works best. Feedback and suggestion on the new tutorial are highly welcome!
The pub (pictured below) and botanical garden buildings are now added as well as a set of new decorations (pictured above).
There is a high demand for new tutorials in the game and more adjustments to the UI. Indeed, this is pretty much the source for all thumbs down. I will focus work moving forward primarily on UI and tutorials to improve on this and make the threshold getting into the game more reasonable. Feedback, suggestions and requests in this department are welcome. These improvements should be live next week, hopefully. Lastly: Here's a player build in the works! Probably the most geometrically complex build I've seen thus far!
