Simulating Steam Power With Unity - Devlog

Steam Power has finally arrived in Lumbermill - this Unity Indie Game Devlog covers how I implemented it, along with a new letters system and an improved inventory interface.

I started by implementing electrical power, the simpler, late game version. I've finally gotten around to coding the steam power simulation, with 3 new machines to build. I've also brought back the old letters system, and a number of other major improvements. Hope you enjoy the devlog! ⮞ About BWDev ⮜ If you're new to the channel, welcome!
