tutorial is done #FactoryTown2

The volcano now reacts when you feed it #FactoryTown2

Added expressions to the volcano! #FactoryTown2

Updated volcano, now with Banana Tracking Technology

Need to create a volcano, so I built this mesh editor that makes a volcano shape based on an animation curve

Working on a system for previewing islands you can summon for purchase

In Factory Town 2, trains will drop off items based on a schedule you can program, and will automatically find the best route along your railroad. Had to adjust the pathfinding logic to consider direction of travel so they don't U-turn on the rails!

This is how boats work, right?

More pathfinding debug gifs! This time a worker is trying to reach a target on a different island. It finds the closest dock to leave from, uses skip points to traverse a large set of ocean tiles, avoids an obstacle in the water, finds the right dock to land on, and then uses a road to reach target

Factory Town and Factory Town Idle are both 60% off this week! (You can't buy Factory Town 2 yet, but you can wishlist it!)

Some new nav pathfinding visualization! This is a delivery boat trying to find a distant harbor, blocked by a peninsula and a big island. Uses a two-layer nav mesh to cross large distances while avoiding small obstacles. Then tests for 'shortcuts' so it can sail directly between waypoints

Building in 3D is tricky, so I built a tool that lets you apply an X-ray filter when you need to build underneath something!

Been working on boat logic for Factory Town 2! They follow a schedule of destinations & items to load & unload at each location. Boat pathfinding overrides the grid-based system and can use direct lines, while avoiding land so it doesn't run aground.

This is early in-development footage, but a good idea of what a busy early-game town in Factory Town 2 looks like. Lots of little workers going about their day traveling between their job, house, and markets. Conveyor belts, chutes, and catapults help move items around as well

Pastures! You can place pasture tiles and the pasture area will expand. Animals will seek out food & water on their own. (Yes, that is an egg-laying cow, yes that is temporary)
