Programming Railways for my Indie Factory Builder Game! (Devlog)

WISHLIST the game here! https://bit.ly/2JNJLXY In this devlog I program and design a brand new Trade system for Lumbermill - my indie factory builder / management game.

Since the last devlog, I've removed that old system entirely and begun work on it's successor. This is how everything will work: Trade Offers Trade offers will come in every so often from companies that wish to work with you. They'll request a certain product, and give you a price for it. You can immediately accept or decline the offer. Or - you can send a counter offer if you think it could be improved. You can adjust the price per unit, send the counter offer - and if all goes to plan, the company will accept. Reputation You'll gain trade reputation through succesful trades (e.g. completed on time). You'll lose reputation for failed trades, or trades delivered late. The better your reputation, the better your chances when sending counter offers. Certain companies will also only work with mills that have a threshold of reputation, so you'll work with higher-rep companies the more successful trades you complete. Trade Collectors & Rails Collectors will pick up items from the conveyor belts, pack them up, and when all the required items are collected, send them to the dock via rail. Trading Dock The dock (not implemented yet) is where trade will be shipped off your island, to your clients. It is therefore a vital part of the trade system! ⮞ About BWDev ⮜ If you're new to the channel, welcome! I'm a full time Indie Game developer working in Unity 2D.
