Update 14.10.2019 adds new music, long trains, new modding tutorial and more.

I made a new modding tutorial. It covers 1) Shadow meshes, 2) Model variations, 3) Dioramas and 4) Biomes / Terrain. You can find it at: https://youtu.be/KsIkqH4kTts

Content

• Music: Added new music tracks to the game! They are specific to the desert biome, enjoy :).
• Content: Added a high capacity depot that allows you to stack things higher. Probably still buggy for a number of goods. :)
• Content: Added the automated stonecutter to the game.
• Content: Added the long train factory where you can build trains with 6 wagons.
• Content: Added the long train station (7x5).

Gameplay

• Gameplay: Made some more items high-stackable.
• Gameplay: Ships can now be loaded during the unload phase. Should solve some deadlock issues. (Partially not compatible with previous saves)
• Gameplay: You can now place groves & farms over existing trees.
• Misc: Added a Turkish translation to the game!
• Gameplay: Building recommendations now understand the concept of building substitutes. I.e., it will count outpost bonfires as bonfires.
• Gameplay: Trains now have different properties. Also, empty trains are now lighter / faster than loaded trains.
• Gameplay: You can now forbid consumption for depots/stations etc.
• Gameplay: Changed the train code to account for cases when trains that are too long enter a station.
• Balance: Your loadout now includes 3 machine parts. So you can now build your first 3 factories without having iron etc.

Miscellaneous

• UI: When linking good containers like stockpiles (a→b), container b now gets the accepted items of a as recommended items.
• UI: Changed the scaling to work better on extremely wide resolutions. You can still fine tune it in the settings.
• Visual: Added a particle effect to pasture animal taming.
• Visual: Switched to the standard shader which offers some nice PBR effects.
• Visual: Objects can now have different material properties, e.g. metallic effects for metals.
• Visual: Made water sprinkler particles prettier.
• Visual: When taming an animal, ranchers now follow the animal around.
• Modding: When your model has an excessive number of vertices (and when you should add a shadow mesh, see 2nd mod tutorial), you will now get a warning in the errors.txt.
• Modding: Added a diorama example to the mod folder.
• Modding: Voxel models can now be larger than 70x70x40. Note that this comes at a performance cost when starting the game.
• Misc: Made some changes to the shipping tutorial.

Engine

• Engine: Upgraded to the latest Zenject version.
• Engine: Replaced the deprecated signal system with the new signal bus.
• Misc: Separated the test code from the main code base.
