The resources on the top are: Boards, Scrap, Plastic, Tarp, Food, Water The : grey piles provide: Scrap and Food The : blue piles provide: Plastic and Tarp The : brown: piles provide: Boards, Scrap and Wood (not yet necessary)

Changes

Game freeze fixed At least one cause of the citizens being frozen was fixed. We try to keep the game functioning at least so if this happens to you another time, try to save the game and reload it. Corrupted savefiles can be loaded It is not trivial to make savegame data 100% accurate. Each time we add data or make changes to it we have to handle the saving and louting routine by hand for each value. We try at least to keep the errors minimal. At least some of the errors that occurred are now handled and it should be possible to load some of the savegame files which you could not load previously. Feedback panel By default you send the latest logfile with the feedback system. It can be removed with a checkbox. No need to email us or search it! Also the character limit has been increased to 3000, 300 was a little too less Workshop can now be constructed The workshop could not finish construction because it required deprecated resources. As explained above, it is functional but not yet useful.

Upcoming Changes

We will focus especially on Usability and bugfixing before we add more content to the game. Our goal is to provide a solid vertical slice, we do not believe that Alpha builds are an excuse for bugs and issues. Info panel updates The panels which appear when you click on an object are not proper for all objects. We need to define more types of these windows for different objects and add more information. Construction sites need info about which resources are missing for example. Production tutorial The whole production system wasnt explained and kinda has no use now anyway. We will make it useful and explain how it works in one of the next updates. It will be useful to make resources which you can not find in the environment and which you need for more advanced buildings. Building information The construction panel will show which resources are required. An image of the building will come later in development, KISS you know. Tooltips Introducing tooltips, e.g. for icons and buttons on the UI.
