Catchup

Since our last Devbrief we've been busy working on the background functionality for the new Shipyards, Refineries, Mines & Farms.

Each category will have its own manageable "production line" capable of producing a wide variety of products that the Empire deems fit for its needs.

These will be included in the next major patch around about 2 weeks time.

On to the news...

Planet Factory List & Star Information UI Improvements

One of the key aspects of Galactic Management revolves around the Production Lines and their management. We have now added a new screen to the Star Info display and add some additional cosmetic improvements to help management each Planets factories.

Here we have the new Star Info display with the "Factory Control" button used to access the list of factories assigned to that planet.

This will help improve the process of managing the many Planets & Production Lines you will need to keep growing your sector.

Player feedback & Production Output

We've had some great feedback from players that has really helped to drive the list of 'player requested changes' applied to each update, either through identifying any bugs (not many!) or through feature/functionality suggestions that were already on our list but not fully flushed out yet.

One of the key points we agreed should take priority is how Production Lines work and how they are implemented. The current drawback of the first EA releases was that it was difficult to plan your production lines appropriately and that is why we are focusing more attention on this area to help players make informed decisions easier than ever.

Below is the latest UI for the Production Line configuration, this will provide Players with an overview of the impact their changes will make to their planets production.

That concludes DevBrief#2 and we hope you have a great rest of the week! CSD
