Next version is now in the final testing phase. All construction projects should be in and should work. Now I just have to test things to make sure there are no crashes or major bugs. You can expect next update this friday, if everything goes smoothly. Here is how the construction system works:
- Start a project. Get all skills and materials you need.
- Project board will now show as green check mark instead of the black hammer. This means that everything is ready and now you just have to schedule some days for the construction.
- Go to the schedule menu by entering your tent or bed.
- Go to construction tab and select the specific projects. The number of days you need to schedule is displayed in the middle bottom pannel, in this case it's two days.
- Number of days you need to schedule that is displayed in the bottom middle and bottom right pannel will get lower with every day you set.
- The project will be finished once you schedule enough days to reach "0". Project name in the bottom right pannel will turn green. You won't be able to schedule more days to this project so you don't have to worry about wasting days by accidentaly scheduling more days than necesary.
- Accept the schedule. If you number of days equaled to "0", your project will be finished. If not, then you will have to schedule the rest for the next week.
This system gives you more freedom with your schedule and it gives me more freedom to make construction projects more interesting. All projects in previous versions either took no time to build, one week or one month. Now they can take as much time as I want and you are not forced to put entire week into doing nothing but building. You can build a "7" days project in exactly one week, or you can work on it slowly by scheduling only one day for seven weeks.
