Yardies low cost housing using containers, by Lolokin.

We're thinking of letting the players customize the look with three options; graffitis, plants and foliage, or murals.

Dev-Log # 5.2 - Crafting UI progress

@esklarski and @pixelberk are working on crafting UI and shipbuilding.

The solar foundry can now toggle between producing ingots or steel plates and has a nice bounce animation when you add more yardies (workers).

The ship system now seems to scale nicely from 2 inventory slots to 27. Larger ships have two engines.

UI mockup for the solar foundry.

Most buildings will have a toggle between two modes of production, from refining basic resources to crafting. Similar to how Anno 1800 and FrostPunk do it.

Style test for expedition maps, by Vaerlyi ( https://cara.app/vaerlyi ).

We're thinking of using the clouds on separate pngs as a way to hide and reveal areas that you haven't explored yet.

These longer expeditions can have 3-4 nodes, similar to expeditions in FrostPunk.

Maybe the first time you go with a fast and cheap ship just to scout things, and you later come back with the right equipment to deliver help or gather scientific data.

🚨 Cool new project alert 🚨

WE- you, me, everyone- need to work together to get important science messages out to people.

4 artists & 3 scientists collaborated on these posters. We hope YOU will put them out in your community. Each poster comes with an article about each topic.

4 12x18 inch posters on a brick and concrete wall. The top left is pink and says funding science saves lives, written in microbes, next to a microscope. The one on the right says Biology is bigger than binaries, with a fish, a lily, and a bee. The bottom left says Protecting wildlife starts wtih you, with a bunch of adiorable woodland creatues in yellow, white and black, including an owl, fungi, a... um. weasel? salamanders, butterflies, slugs, and a rotting log. The bottom right says Will our oceans thrive or nosedive the choice is yours, with the ocean represented in a circle, half of which is dead and half of which is alive, including kelp and a mackerel

Illustration for the Maritime Festival event, by Elsa Serka ( https://elsaserka.artstation.com/ ).

A celebration of sailing ships and all things related to the sea, this event boost the morale of shipyard workers and you have the option to spend some cash to participate and get a booth (increases city approval, +1 yardie) or take the whole team on a day cruise on tallships (large morale boost).
