This update includes the Factories Beta Phase.
You can access the Industries Dashboard from the main Dasboard or from the Business Menu
This first iteration of factories includes a Hunting Camp, a Meat Smoker and a Tannery.
The Hunting Camp global efficiency is directly related to the distance from the nearest established airports, so it’s better to build them at an isolated basecamp instead of an airport, but some small and remote existing airports are also potentially a good place for Hunting Camps to be deployed.
The performance tests on the Basecamp are over and were successful. With this release, the Basecamps will only be displayed in their own world.
We keep monitoring closely our servers during the next beta phase to confirm that there is no significant performance hit. During this iteration, the number of factories for each company is limited to 3.
The Hunting Camps are the first example of a small production chain.
We plan to add many others production chains, from very small to huge one.
There are still some missing features in this beta like:
- Production boosters
- Production zones maintenance and failures
- 3D models of the factories in the sim
- etc…
Even in this beta phase we guarantee no industry progress loss for your companies.
Please send us your feedback or issues, via the ticket system using the “Beta Industry” category.
You can also discuss the feature with our community on our Discord
