Hello everyone!
This week we’ve integrated all the performance improvements hinted on last week and also added some more. However, that is boring to talk about, so we added another feature for you: Boosting!
If you construct buildings closer to their suppliers, you’ll gain extra efficiency for each nearby supplier.
For example, a microchip factory gains 8% of efficiency for every electronics factory around it:
This should make building a well-planned city a lot more interesting. Long rows of electronics factories are no longer the default design since you’re leaving a lot of efficiency at the table. We’re looking forward to see what you come up with
Changelog
- Factories buildings boosted by nearby suppliers
- New performance improvements for CPU and GPU (we see fps increases between 3x and 7x compared to 2 weeks ago)
- Camera doesn’t clip into the terrain as often
- Population indicator turns orange, then red if you don’t have enough population for all your jobs
- Added 5 different car types
- Added Spanish translation (thanks Pipo!)
- Changed some terrain colors
- Fixed a bug where the lane configurator would stop responding to input
- Fixed some translation issues
Also, have a look at this teaser for what we’re working on. Not finished yet, but it’s a direction we could go
Happy playing!
