The diligence and dedication of KOTOVOD workers is out of doubt (and control), as they're getting closer and closer to establishing Catopia on Mars! As you definitely know already, the first step of building a greater society for felines and humans includes the latter providing material wealth to the former.
Since lines are more than common on KOTOVOD's Transporter lines (a feature inherited from the Union times), some cats are actually spending a lot of time not buying any goods. This situation seemed somewhat suboptimal to KOTOVOD administration. Which is why they have teamed up with the brightest minds from the I.L.L.U.M.I.N.A.T.I. and came up with not one, but two grounbreaking inventions!
A Roadside Boutique is a building to be placed by Transporter lines: it sells goods to passerby cats, thus making them happier and more loyal to the cause (which is establishing Catopia). Item Splitter is a more humble, but most handy kind of a building, letting you detect and extract selected kinds of items from all kinds of places!
Use them wisely. Catopia is inevitable. Glory to science! Glory to KOTOVOD!
Version 0.10.59 Released
- New building: Roadside Boutique is placed by Transporter lines; cats may choose to walk in and browse for goods. If they find what they were looking for, cats become more loyal towards your Factory
- More loyal cats are more likely to recommend the Factory to their friends (and less likely to dissuade them from coming, in case their shopping experience in a Store is unsuccessful). Go to the Wiki ('H') to check out what certain cat types are looking for in Boutiques;
- A new Boutique-related milestone added to the Global Progression bar;
- New building: Item Splitter. For sorting items. Choose a category and an item you want to separate from the other goods and - voila!;
- If a cat has fulfilled all their wishes in the Pyramid of requests (again, go to the Wiki to check it out), they will return to the Factory with increased level of loyalty;
- Advertising Cat Gate now gathers statistics about cats and later. With enough data, it will be capable to decide whether to show an ad to certain cat or not. It results in increased operational speed for the Gate;
- All Cat Gates feature improved interface and an option to clear stats;
- Generally more new statistics in Statistics menu;
- Research Tree slightly re-balanced in terms of cost and placement of certain objects;
- There now is an option to turn on grid view under logistics buildings while you're placing them. The grid for other kinds of buildings will be added in future updates;
- Bug fixes;
- Optimization;
- Interface fixes;
- Copywriting fixes;
- There now is art in the Credits!
