With our Early Access date just around the corner, we're aiming to share a series of announcements about the mechanics and game world components that New Cycle will have in Early Access, as well as our future plans for them, both with a devlog and in the form of smaller explanatory pieces.
For this purpose, we'll try to convey some details on Conveyor Belt System as the second week's topics of focus.
Conveyor Belt System:
The logistics of production management in New Cycle are generally represented in an impressionistic manner. The settlement's warehouses house products and resources, while Workers assigned to buildings sometimes transport goods between buildings and sometimes to these warehouses.
As the game world progresses and the number of inhabitants you are responsible for increases, you can begin to build more advanced and mechanized production structures for the large projects you take on. The high processing capacities of these structures cannot be realized to their true efficiency through human-powered logistics. To overcome this problem, infrastructure investment must be made and production must be supported by planning conveyor belt channels for the right production trees.
The belt system, whose height, angle and length can be managed as desired, includes auxiliary units that enable processes such as separation and merging to be designed according to the belt sequence.
It is entirely in your hands how all these qualified components will be positioned in the settlement and for what purpose they will be used. Each belt unit has a certain cost and requires electrical energy for its operation, adding onto the consumption of the production structure from which the belt line starts.
As long as the power supply to this structure is not interrupted, the belt flow will run smoothly, and if resources not included in the target production formula are transferred to a structure by the belt, the structure will also display negative results.
This week's second headline has been shifted to next week as it increases the news content too much.
All images were recorded in-game.
