addedGameplay Help PagesWe have added a few web pages to help explain some of the core concepts in GenExile:
changedhttps://sonderluststudios.notion.site/generation-exile-help-pagesIn the long term, we want GenExile to be self-contained as much as possible in terms of explaining all the what/how/why of playing the game within the game itself. However, during Early Access, keeping robust onboarding up to date can be a bit challenging, as we're frequently revising and iterating on systems. And as onboarding is the part of the game that perhaps requires more playtesting than anything else, we don't want to accidentally slow down progress on the current Road Map targets by returning too frequently to those onboarding portions.

addedStructure Function Graph UIThis is not in patch v0.5.4b, but as a preview for part of what will be coming in the December update, here's something we're working on to improve some of the core gameplay UI/UX. As we've mentioned in a couple prior updates, making the answer to the question, " Wait- why isn't this structure working? " extremely clear is an important goal now that we have received a bunch of hands-on feedback from Early Access players. We're going to be adding a responsive "structure function graph" UI panel that will appear when any structure is selected.
changedStructure Function Graph UIThis UI panel will show the "flow" of any given structure- what resources it requires and what it creates. And when a structure isn't functioning, whatever part(s) of that "chain" aren't working will be highlighted, allowing players to more quickly diagnose what part of the production flow has gone off the rails and address them.

In the long term, we want GenExile to be self-contained as much as possible in terms of explaining all the what/how/why of playing the game within the game itself.

And as onboarding is the part of the game that perhaps requires more playtesting than anything else, we don't want to accidentally slow down progress on the current Road Map targets by returning too frequently to those onboarding portions.

We'll of course continue to refine and improve some of the core "teaching" portions of GenExile, but these help pages can also help serve as a contingency measure in the meantime.
